“A small intimate venue that has great sound proofing. I had the privilege of seeing Marcus Gilmore and others during Jazz Fest and it was one of my favorite venues. You can choose the floor or upstairs for an arial view. It’s a tight squeeze so make sure to arrive early for a good seat! Highly recommend!”

“I loved visiting the Brooklyn Cat Cafe. Truly a great experience. You get to meet cats of all different personalities! I went twice and ended up adopting a lovely cat. You can tell how much thought and care the staff and adoption coordinator put into making sure every cat is healthy, safe and finds a good home. As a nonprofit, they do so much with the resources they have, and it really shows.”

“They have a huge and very affordable selection of fabrics, leather, yarn, clothing, etc. It's the perfect place for local crafters. There are also volunteer opportunities available on their website.

There is free parking for cars and bikes. I would recommend looking at their instructions on their website. They are located on the 5th floor of Building B. It might not look like you can walk around on the first floor, but you're fine.”

“I’m a little taken aback by the recent negative reviews. My daughter attended the full summer camp session, all 8-weeks. She is a very particular child who sometimes has unrealistic expectations of places, people and things. Her time here however has been well spent. She truly appreciated each and every one of her counselors and spoke very highly of them. She has been fully engaged in EVERY thing HES has to offer her this summer. So much so, she requested for me to register her for afterschool. I honored her request. We had a few hiccups and when we did I would reach out to Mr.Lebowitz. I want to acknowledge him for his efforts to always resolve issues in a prompt and fair manner. Any concerns raised was looked into and handled with professionalism. I just want to add that while this is an educational and recreational facility, it too will be affected by the growing costs of day to day expenses to maintain the facility. I urge parents to express any financial concerns because often times there are solutions. I look forward to having my daughter gain more meaningful experiences and thank EVERY SINGLE INDIVIDUAL who made this summer a feat one for her.”

“Children of Promise are our neighbors across the street. We would not want it any other way. The counselors clearly are dedicated to what they do, and dedicated to the kids. It’s so fantastic to see such a great organization, giving guidance, love, structure to the kids, while their parents are Busy during the day. The counselors clearly know what they’re doing, the kids are always so well behaved, so friendly, and hearing that laughter is joyful, it’s like music. We’re grateful to have such fantastic neighbors across the street and getting future generations ready for what comes next in life. We love them, we glad they are our neighbors.”

“Nice shop in the heart of Brooklyn, fair prices, cute items and best of all, the shop is actually the secret identity of a non-profit that promotes writing among young students (and often publishes it too). It's worth spending a few dollars to support them! (Plus the clerk was super nice).”

“If you enjoy locker rooms where men shower with the curtains wide open while making direct eye contact with every lucky passer by, then this is the locker room for you!

Don't forget to take in the view through the big window on the sauna door—where you should feel free to spreadeagle your towel-less turkey waddle directly facing the window for all to appreciate. Thank you mystery man! Gobble gobble!

While down there, make sure to check out all the octagenarian athletes' impressive balls. A bunch of naked old guys standing around reminiscing—likely about prison showers and 1950s locker rooms— for an hour or two, really makes you appreciate how important it is to stop and enjoy the little things.

But for those of you who prefer a more contemporary view whilst trying to open your locker without accidentally castrating an overly comfortable stranger, don't worry, there's no shortage of (in the)buff Brooklyn bros—who, once they put down their phones and finally find their socks, will take another 20 minutes to decide which foot they go on—to enjoy after a good workout.

Who said there's no more 3rd spaces left in the city? 5 stars is way too low for all that you get. Some clubs charge a $20 cover and you still have to buy drinks! I highly recommend spending the extra few dollars to splurge on the citywide membership.”

“Ok, The BridgeWhat's is a bridge? What is the purpose? Well today I wanted to find out more about the multicultural Bridge and its strong foundation and how it truly connects people in a very unique way with love and understanding as a standard and guiding principle. I had a wonderful experience at this location and I encourage all people to come to this place and attend an event. Mark is changing lives everyday with his efforts. Today I stand with Mark as not only a friend but as a brother.I hope this review was helpful ?”
