    Pony Boy taught us that nothing gold can stay, and that holds true for Boatel, The floating boat…read morecampground has been moved to the opposite side of the marina this year, in much more cramped quarters. Our beloved boat, the New York, New York, no longer occupied a spot with an amazing view of Jamaica Bay -- it was crammed in between the larger Nancy Boggs and the communal grilling area. Last year, the boat bar was covered with a tent, open till 2 AM, featured a DJ and offered several charcoal grills for guest use. This year, the bar was closed and the dock that formerly served as the ersatz movie screen now contains an upholstered Victorian sofa and one gas grill which all Boatel guests must share. This also pushes the heavy-partying contingent right into the heart of the sleeping area, making trying to sleep at Boatel at any point during the dark hours like trying to sleep in a frat house the night after finals are over. Finally, there are several really nice boats in the Marina this year, and I guess to protect them a huge, prison-like security gate has been erected at the entrance to the Marina. The gate is kept closed at all times. The only way to open the gate is with a remote attached to a hubcap. The hubcap is held closely by the very hard-to-find Boatel staff. There is no buzzer or cell phone number any other way of alerting anyone inside you would like to get in, and if you want to leave it is equally hard to find someone to let you out. We liked Boatel because it was a nice place to get away and spend some time on the water. There was always a lot of youthful exuberance, but it was also possible to be a little separate from all that. Now, it's really best just for large groups of people looking to party all night long. The excessive media coverage seems to have attracted a different and more-annoying crowd as well.

She is knowledgable about history, past and present. Her knowledge of the culinary scene of NYC and it boroughs was so interesting. What a great way to spend an afternoon in Brooklyn and it's many new and old culinary venues. We will do another tour(s) with Liz.

She met us outside with fresh baked muffins (delicious) and explained the history of the different buildings we visited. Much of the Meatpacking District was, at one time, the center of production for the National Biscuit Company (aka Nabisco - see, you've already learned something). She also had great connections with many vendors and I learned more about fine cheese than I ever expected. Excellent experience for out-of-towners or locals looking to explore the city and it's food in a different way. Would definitely tour with Liz again!

    Before today, my review would've likely been glowing. The artwork in that's been associated with…read morethem in NYC is almost always spectacular and a welcome addition to the city-scape. Unfortunately I found out recently that they're actually quite shady and manipulative. They don't actually create or curate the art in Little Italy - they pretend to support it, plaster it on their social media, and try to profit from it. At the expense of the actual artists that create the art they're showcasing. They've gotten into legal action with artists over marketing rights for the art that they claim to "support", but essentially want to mooch off of and shake down for $$$. A lot of the gorgeous art, such as the Audrey Hepburn picture on Mulberry St, are examples that they claim to be big endorsers of - but have actually fought the artists over, to win sole rights to commercializing posters etc. They've tried to destroy murals & privately commissioned public art without consent or notification to the artists themselves. Again, mostly for the chance to bring in new art and profit from online sales of merchandise / picture rights. And they're more than happy to block/ban/remove you from any of their social media if you even think of leaving a vaguely negative comment (even a politely-worded one). A word to the wise: good, wholesome, community-minded organizations NEVER block or throttle people into silence because they might disagree with them. And they NEVER treat artists like they're disposable sources of income. This organization does not represent Little Italy in the slightest. Be very, very careful if you're ever asked to work with them. Better yet, stay clear of them altogether.

I'm just a huge fan of graffiti. I love the color it adds to the city. I love the smile it puts on my face. I like the happy feeling I get inside when I see it. I also like the legal authorization of the activity. For many years it was an offense to express yourself and your artistic talent in this manner. I'm glad Little Italy has embraced this organization and the art they promote. Please Visit Little Italy and keep your eyes open for the murals. They are here, there, and everywhere! I'm posting photos I've taken in the past couple years. I hope you enjoy. I can't wait to return!

    I went to the Tastes of Brooklyn event along Franklin Ave. The festival offered ticket sales online…read moreand I appreciated that you could buy tickets without any service fee on top of the ticket price (~$10/taste). Ticket pickup in front of Cent'Anni was easy once I knew where to go, and I found it so helpful that there was a map and list of what each spot was offering. That list was useful in planning what I wanted to try. In the future, I'd recommend that the event hosts try to confirm these listings with participating restaurants a bit closer to the event date, because some of them were inaccurate. One place listed as offering "sliders" served only a single (scrumptious) slider, and another spot listed as offering a "choice of two tacos or a margarita" informed me when I arrived that they weren't offering the margarita after all. I thought the offerings were pretty fair, just wish the list had been a bit more accurate. While I wouldn't recommend Tastes of Brooklyn to someone looking for a "good deal", it wasn't a bad way to share a walk and various foods with a friend while supporting Seeds in the Middle.

    I think it was fine, but probably overpriced. Sure, it was for a cause but a lot of the…read moreparticipating vendors were very inconsistent. Some places did food and booze as one stamp, while others made it two separate ones. Some portion sizes were gigantic, while others didn't even give a full slice of pizza. And a few closed up shop early because they were so popular (we ended up with extra tickets that we just spent on half slices of pizza because nothing else was left). The ticket pickup station at the Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club was also a bit of a hassle. Not the most centrally located, and their ticketing system was a mess. A lot of manual handwritten notes. That said, I appreciated all the businesses that participated (some of which I've never been to before!), but I wish it were better organized.
