    The Old Stone House - A house that is alive

    Knowing my fascination with the Revolutionary War's Battle of Brooklyn (also known as the Battle of…read moreBrooklyn Heights or the Battle of Long Island), my son surprised me with this historical gem. The Old Stone House is located in the Park Slope neighborhood near the boundary with Gowanus. It sits adjacent to Washington Park. The house itself is a reconstruction of the original structure, which burned & was excavated. It uses some of the original stones and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. An important site in the defeat of Washington's troops, it headquartered the British troops in the first major battle after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The Old Stone House was even the earliest headquarters of the Brooklyn Dodgers. I continue to mourn the fact that they were moved from Brooklyn, having followed the team in my childhood with my Daddy. He instilled in me the love of baseball. Today the house is a wonderful museum with displays and exhibits of the Battle of Brooklyn. Most impressive is the large exhibit of miniature soldiers as they were positioned during that 1776 assault. Whether or not you're a Revolutionary War Historian, you'll learn much about the area and its place in history by visiting the Old Stone House.

    Pretty cool small and free museum in Brooklyn. People were nice as well. Definitely worth visiting…read moreduring their limited hours.

The…read morelocation is great, the drinks are solid, and it has that older New York, cozy-but-lively vibe that's getting harder to find these days. They've only got two bocce lanes, so just a heads up, if it's a busier night or you're going during peak hours, you might be waiting a bit. But on normal weeknights, it's totally doable to walk in, grab a drink, and play without any stress. It's very laid-back in the best way. Downstairs, they host comedy shows and other performances, which makes it such a fun multipurpose hangout. People usually grab a drink and chill upstairs while waiting for their show to start, and it creates this really nice, social energy without feeling chaotic. Overall, Union Hall is a quaint neighborhood staple, great drinks, fun games, and a little bit of that old-school local charm. Perfect for a casual night out or something a little different from the usual bar scene.

    I used to love it here for years, but it's gotten too popular and lost the charm it had for me…read more The popularity is great for the museum itself. It's experienced an undeniable glow up. People I could never get to step a toe in a museum now beg me to come with them to see some trendy exhibit they heard about. Marketing has improved immensely. They've expanded their reach beyond geeks and schoolchildren to a wide variety of people, and that's good. It keeps the museum alive. It's just no longer one of my favorite places personally. What I miss the most are the old First Saturdays that no one knew about. I'd look forward to them all month like a child looks forward to Christmas. It felt like Brooklyn's best kept secret. Now you have to preregister to get sardined. I'm not much of a noisy crowd person, so I end up leaving early the rare occasion I attempt to go. I do enjoy the salsa parties. Those are fun. Staff can be rude as all else. I've never personally had an issue, but I've seen some uncalled for behavior towards other patrons, especially if they give touristy vibes. The littlest thing can set someone off. It's completely uncalled for.

    This past Friday I went to the grand opening party and premier gallery exhibit - what fun! Amazing…read morefiber art exhibit curated by Joetta Maue (who also teaches classes at the center.) It was such a beautiful evening I just have to start from the beginning. I walked up with my friend (who had a piece in the show) and was immediately WOWed when we saw the beautifully lit large windows showcasing tons of happy, supportive, exciting people looking and talking about fiber art. Yes, I've been to galleries before but something felt really good in that space, positive vibes from the get-go. We were greeted by a lovely lady asking for donations. For $5 you got a raffle ticket and free tote bag or scarf. The raffle prizes were all at least $100, well worth a $5-$20 donation, let alone the rest of the evening which I am about unravel to you. Works ranged from gigantic detailed creatures hanging from the ceiling and spilling to the floor, gorgeous intricate embroidered illustrations, very cool sculptural/costume-like joined head piece, large scale portrait quilts, intriguing fabric films.. everything I saw was a FEAST for the eyes, and completely different, yet connected. Cutting edge indeed. I was super impressed and got to meet many of the artists there that night, including Joetta. Although it was crowed (which is SO great for a gallery opening!) the atmosphere was completely positive. The live brass band added a bouncy background to conversation, and later an impromptu dance party/congo. There was lots of delicious savory finger food and darling 'textile arts center' cupcakes. Plenty of complimentary wine and cold craft beers. Bathrooms were spotless, well lit, brightly colored and stocked with essentials. One of the more inspiring NY events I've been to. The current exhibition is up Sept 17 - Oct 11, even without the party it's absolutely worth checking out. The facilities are gorgeous, and class listings are on their website.

Our class was a random assortment of ladies of different personalities (how PC is that ;), but Natalie was very attentive and always sweet. She shared all her tips and techniques and helped guide us to create some unique creations. Of course, none of our work really looked as good as Natalie's, but maybe in time. :-/ The intensives also come with a week of free studio time, but it's really quite a schlep, so I didn't get to take advantage of it. Nice little bonus though!

It is located across from the Peter J. Sharp Building ( where I usually see movies) and next to Whole Foods, housed in the L10 Arts and Cultural Center. I was greeted by the kind employee and he instructed me to go to the 2nd floor to see my film. I entered and two engineers or project managers? were speaking and I stated " Wow, this is really cool!". They smiled and said "This is Day 3 of the cinema opening". I was in a popcorn and soda mood, picked my snacks up at the Concession Stand and walked to my movie room. I walked down a sleek hall with round leather "pouf" orange ottomans; perfect to sit and wait outside for your movie to start. I love the movie theaters that are small and sleek... oohhh what have we here? Leather seating, leg room, big screen and less crowds!" The popcorn and soda were fresh and delicious. The entire staff were wonderful and courteous. BAM is surrounded by cool restaurants like Olea and Miss Ada, Apple for shopping, and nearby Atlantic Avenue Mall. I haven't been a regular moviegoer as I used to be, COVID unfortunately impacted that habit. However, when I do go to see a movie or actor that really motivates me to patronize movie theaters, BAM is now on my top 3 movie theater venues. See ya at the movies!

The theater reminded me of what it used to be going to the theater. We were in Theater 3 and the entry was arched and the theater was ornate. There was so much seating, at least 150 seats, and there is not reserved seating. The seats do not recline , but do have cup holders. Leg room was a bit tight. Sound was excellent , it is surround sound and the screen was clear. A great place to watch a movie.
