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?
4:34 – Try Hibino. Just south of Atlantic on Henry. I know that’s technically Cobble Hill, but they have the unique gimmick of a Japanese restaurant that’s run by Japanese. Their sushi is good and different with the pressed sushi being one of my favorites.
4:35 – MD=Managing Director. Title usually comes with running a business or just making lots of money. Usually means minimum compensation of $1mm.
maybe they take their town cars over to tribeca.
i’m sorry. I have friends in PS and have eaten at all the “good” restaurants. There is nothing there noteworthy that would tip the scales in a BH vs PS pissing contest.
Hey 11:20,
Try the Battery Tunnel. F’n speedy to downtown. Costs some dosh, though.
Oshima Sushi on 7th and Berkeley is some of the best sushi in New York City.
Bar none.
Like it better than Blue Ribbon and it’s half the cost.
Al Di La is still my favorite restaurant in Brooklyn.
Brooklyn’s version to Manhattan’s Lupa…another of my favorites.
i’m not sure the city’s own billionaire mayor has ever been to ft. greene, much less your friend, grammar “lady.”
I’ve haven’t been so impressed by Park Slope restaurants. And whoever said it was a wasteland 5-7 years ago is right. My family ate so-so Chinese delivery for years and years.
FG/Grammar Lady: TMI! TMI! No one cares who your richie friends are, or that they loove FG.
