BAY RIDGE COURIER Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, & Fort Hamilton

ay Ridge’s community appeal is a powerful vehicle for lucrative business opportunities, and its hometown newspaper — the Bay Ridge Courier — is the forum of choice to fortify brands. Residents of Bay Ridge — named for its proximity to the Narrows Bay and its glacial-era high ridge — know their neighbors, schools, and merchants. They attend civic meetings together and unite at community fundraisers. The small-town ambience offers big potential for advertisers desiring solid community coverage.

“Through our 10 years here at The Pearl Room, CNG and the Bay Ridge Courier have been instrumental in helping us grow. The Courier’s marketing skills, ad designs, and dining stories have helped us expand our customer base through the entire borough of Brooklyn. Even as hectic as it can be in the restaurant business, they have always been willing to work with us very closely to make sure we make all of the special edition deadlines. The personal touch is what makes working with them so great.”
