Next Goldman M&A Target: Brooklyn Heights?

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?
So, does this thread take the record for most-commented post ever? All it takes is mention of Wall Streeters & BH or Park Slope to get all the kiddies beating each other up.
NY ain’t nothing but Bitches and Money
you sound fun, 5:36.
the Golden Crust on Fulton and Nostrand is excellent and Daft Punk is playing a secret show there and people that move to Brooklyn are racist and Duane Reade and god and the bible.
McDonald’s is delicious–it’s bad for you, but tasty, tasty, tasty. Finger-lickin’ good.
Bonnie’s Grill in PS makes a damn good burger.
As does 12th Street Bar and Grill.
5:22. Right, no shitty places in Manhattan. Yeah, every one of those places on the LES is a gem. Sure. No lame burgers to be had on the island of Manhattan. No sir.
easy, 5:22.
ever been to mcdonalds?
The worst Manhattan restaurants are still better than any Park Slope joint I’ve ever been to. The fact that that shitty Italo-trash joint La Villa, on 5th Avenue, is always packed is BEYOND ME. Apparently there is demand for that greasy, bland, sorry excuse for food. And the Ale House? They’re nice folks but my burger has always been super bland. How do you screw up a burger?
