Flip-flopperOK, I admit it. I once publicly supported bringing the Nets to Brooklyn. Even then, though, it was clear that I was just being selfish and knew in my heart that the development project was a bad idea.
I’ve decided to just come out and admit that I’d rather not ruin the neighborhood to line Bruce Ratner’s pockets. Even if it means I don’t get NBA basketball in my backyard.
You can help fight this giveaway in the best way possible: by eating at some great Brooklyn restaurants. In the words of The Brooklyn Dodge, “5% OF YOUR RESTAURANT BILL raises money towards legal fees to support Develop Don’t Destroy and the community in our fight for a democratic process in the future development of our neighborhoods, and against Ratner’s land grab.”
I can personally recommend Tom’s Diner (particularly for breakfast), Bob Law’s Seafood Cafe, Prospect Perk, Keur N’Deye, A Table, Liquors and especially al di la, my favorite restaurant anywhere.
Hat tip to No Land Grab, and to Stay Free!, which led me to No Land Grab.
