Dear Readers,

2017 was a wild and crazy year. We turned 30 in Bushwick, saw empires rise and fall (restaurants/cafes open and close), watched the neighborhood’s landscape change (pricy new apartment buildings), reported on interesting local figures, news, and so much more.  

With the exception of an incredible events roundup for New Years on Dec. 26, we’re taking next week off. But don’t worry, we’ll be back after the New Year to bring you more amazing content about your favorite neighborhood and everything you might have missed over the holiday break.

So, dear readers, we wish you all the best for the holiday season!
