We got an email a few days ago from a regular tipster who’s always been right in the past so we’re tempted to give him the benefit of the doubt this time around. While pointing us in the direction of a recent sale on Joralemon Street, he noted that the buyer happened to be a Goldman Sachs executive. This was, he claimed, part of a trend that’s seen members of the city’s most successful investment bank crossing the East River (more than usual) in recent months to buy a piece of the rock in Brooklyn Heights. Another broker we quizzed, who has several Goldman clients looking in the neighborhood at the moment concurred, said he knew of two Goldman deals that have taken place in recent weeks. The only bank where bonuses are expected to rise significantly this season, Goldman bankers and traders are certainly in the best position to snap up those $5 million-plus houses. Think there’s anything to this “trend” or has it just always been so?

  1. I’ve I never hear “goldman sachs” again I’ll be a happy guy. Their employees – those that survive to make MD – have no life, they burn out by 35. What good are sacks of money if you’ve got a perforated ulcer and don’t even know your own kids, and are afraid to divorce your wife because she’ll tell the IRS and the judge about your stash offshore?

  2. Other terrific Park Slope eateries:

    Moim
    Al Di La
    Covivium Osteria
    La Taqueria
    Applewood
    Stone Park
    Chiles and Chocolates
    Oshima

    What are the best restaurants in the Heights?

  3. i like 1:04’s post best.

    you forgot to mention that with the sudden departure of her former boyfriend, heath ledger, michelle williams is now working part-time at connecticut muffin.

  4. 12:54 – I think you are the same person who trots out the old Blue Ribbon Sushi example every time someone dares to suggest Park Slope eateries are not the greatest in Brooklyn…
