Jehovah’s Witnesses Sell DUMBO Development Site at 74 Adams St.

The building on the corner is 74 Adams St., which the Watchtower has just sold to developer Jeffrey Gershon. By Lore Croghan

Brooklyn Heights Press

Another piece of the Kingdom is gone. On Wednesday, the Jehovah’s Witnesses announced the sale of one of the last remaining properties in their once-massive Brooklyn real-estate portfolio. A vehicle-repair garage currently stands on the property they sold, which is 74 Adams St. in DUMBO. The property is zoned for almost 145,000 square feet of mixeduse development, the Watchtower said in its announcement, meaning residential, commercial and retail space can be built. In September, the purchaser, Jeffrey Gershon of Hope Street Capital, applied for a permit to demolish the one-story garage, city Buildings Department records indicate. His name appears on the Buildings Department filing as the authorized signatory of 80 Adams Property Owner LLC. Gershon did not respond to a request for comment about the purchase of 74 Adams St. The purchase deed for the site has not yet appeared in city Finance Department records. So the Brooklyn Heights Press was unable to confirm the purchase price. But The Real Deal reported last May that Gershon had signed

Levin, Other Incumbents Win Big in Local Races By Paula Katinas

Brooklyn Heights Press

Election Day 2017 was a good one for Democratic incumbents in Brooklyn, but a rough one for their challengers as experience won out at the polls. Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, running for his second term in office, easily defeated Republican challenger Vito Bruno and Reform Party candidate Ben Kissel by a wide margin. Adams, a former state senator and retired police captain, earned 83 percent of the total number of votes cast in Tuesday’s election. Bruno came in second with 15.2 percent. Kissel had 1.8 percent. Incumbents also won all of the City Council races in the borough. In the 33rd Council District, incumbent Stephen Levin beat challenger Victoria Cambranes, who ran on the Progress for All ticket. The district takes in Greenpoint and parts of Williamsburg, DUMBO, Vinegar Hill and Downtown Brooklyn. Levin garnered 88.7 percent of the vote, while Cambranes trailed with 11.3 percent.  See brooklyneagle.com for full election results. 2 • Brooklyn Heights Press • Thursday, November 9, 2017

a contract to pay close to $60 million for 74 Adams St. The development site has frontage on Adams, Front and York streets and Fleet Alley. It is located outside the boundaries of the DUMBO Historic District. The Watchtower had owned 74 Adams St. since 1975.

The Towers Recently Soldfor $202.5 Million Until recently, the Jehovah’s Witnesses had a major presence in DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights. But they’ve been selling off their holdings in the two neighborhoods because last year they moved their world headquarters to upstate Warwick, New York. Their former Brooklyn Heights headquarters at 25-30 Columbia Heights now belongs to a joint venture called Columbia Heights Associates that includes the Kushner Cos. The company was headed by Jared Kushner until he stepped aside to become a senior advisor to his father-in-law, President Donald Trump. The former headquarters complex has an iconic red “Watchtower” sign on it that the new owners plan to remove. Kushner Cos. and various investor partners have paid around $1 billion for Watchtower property purchases in Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO. A different investor made a big Watchtower property purchase just last week. Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors bought The Towers at 21 Clark St. in Brooklyn Heights. The deed, which has just appeared in online Finance Department records, indicates that the real-estate investor paid $202.5 million for The Towers. Before the Watchtower owned The Towers, it was an elegant hotel where the top-paid players on the Brooklyn Dodgers stayed during the baseball season. The new owner of the storied property plans to turn it into a seniors-housing complex called The Watermark at Brooklyn Heights.


Arguments in Court Continue as BHA Fights Mayor, Park on Pier 6 Development

Issue: Are New Buildings In BBP Really Necessary? By Mary Frost

Brooklyn Heights Press

Oral arguments continued on Monday in the lawsuit brought by the Brooklyn Heights Association (BHA) against Brooklyn Bridge Park opposing two residential towers the park has begun to build on Pier 6. State Supreme Court Justice Carmen St. George, presiding at the Civil Branch in Manhattan, asked sharp questions of attorneys on both sides as BHA attempts to show that the park is going ahead with the two large buildings — 28- and 14-stories high — in violation of the park’s General Project Plan (GPP). The GPP states the intention of development in the park is “to build only what is necessary to support annual maintenance and operations.” The park maintains that the Pier 6 development is financially necessary and that units of affordable housing planned for one of the towers, which would not bring in revenue, serve a social good and are not expressly forbidden by the GPP. Mayor Bill de Blasio is pushing for the affordable housing component through Deputy Mayor Alicia Glen, chair of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation. This was the second appearance for both sides before Justice St. George, who took the case over in August from Justice Lucy Billings. Billings has been reassigned to be in charge administratively of every asbestos case in New York County. BHA attorney Richard Ziegler stated the community organization’s case during opening arguments on Nov. 2. During that hearing, St. George attempted to broker a compromise between the park and BHA, to no avail. On Monday, as park attorneys David Paget and Haley Stein began arguments, St. George again called the two sides into her chambers. But talks fell through and the arguments continued. St. George leavened the lengthy hearing with dashes of humor, much appreciated by the audience seated for hours in the packed courtroom. When a question about a 9-foot stairway atop one of the disputed towers came up, the judge asked the park attorney Paget, “Stairway to what?”

The proposed Pier 6 development. After a pause, Paget tentatively answered, “Stairway to heaven?” “We all need one,” St. George shot back. “You stumped me,” Paget said.

“It doesn’t happen often,” St. George rejoined. Oral arguments will continue on Nov. 14 at 2:45 p.m. in courtroom 308 at 80 Centre St. in Manhattan.

Selfies with Elves Is Back on Montague St. Family Holiday Tradition Returns to Heights By John Alexander

Brooklyn Heights Press

Selfies with Elves will be back on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights on Saturday, Nov. 25, which also happens to be Small Business Saturday. The elves will be collecting new hats, gloves, scarves and socks to help keep children and families

warm this winter at Bedford-Stuyvesant’s The Family Center. And anyone who donates something can take a free Selfie with an Elf (an Elfie). Last year, The Family Center provided more than 4,000 New Yorkers with hands-on support from health services to legal support. Throughout the day, merchants and businesses on Montague Street will offer special discounts, complimentary treats, holiday cheer and free gifts with a purchase to celebrate Small Business Saturday. “We are so grateful to the Montague Street BID and all Brooklyn residents willing to donate items to keep our children and families warm this winter,” said Ivy Gamble Cobb, executive director of The Family Center. “Over 95 percent of our client families live on incomes below the federal poverty threshold and sometimes, a new pair of gloves is just not in the budget.” Selfies with Elves is a fun way to get into the spirit of the season and the perfect time to take a holiday picture without waiting on a long line for Santa. “The holidays are a time of thanks, giving and celebration,” said Kate Chura, executive director, Montague Street BID. “Selfies with Elves was such a success last year that we hope all New Yorkers will come out again to support small businesses on Montague Street and generously support members of our community in need by donating cold weather gear for the children and families at The Family Center.” So while you are shopping, dining and enjoying the many businesses on Montague Street, you can stop by and visit the Elves on the corners of Montague at Hicks streets between noon and 2 p.m. “Now more than ever, we all need to show each other more kindness,” Chura added. “On behalf of the businesses on Montague Street, we

Theatre for a New Audience Presents Comic One-Acts “Marcel” And “The Art of Laughter” By Lore Croghan Brooklyn Eagle

Comic genius is a wondrous thing to behold. This is another way of saying Marcello Magni and Jos Houben will make you laugh like a hyena and maybe shed a furtive tear. They are preeminent physical-theatre artists — in other words, renowned clowns, as opposed to the creepy kind that populates horror films such as Stephen King’s “It.” Magni and Houben make audiences guf-faw in two comic one-acts — “Marcel” and “The Art of Laughter” — that Theatre for a New Audience (TFANA) is presenting in a double bill at Polonsky Shakespeare Center. The plays opened at this Brooklyn Cultural District venue on Nov. 1. The comic duo comes from Theatre des Bouffes du Nord in Paris, a 19th-century theatre that was reopened in 1974 by Peter Brook, the celebrated British director of William Shakespeare’s plays. Magni and Houben created “Marcel” and Houben created “The Art of Laughter.” They're the entire cast of the two plays. It’s just them lighting up the stage with humor

the midst of its hilarity. People who are getting older will identify with the title character, who’s played by Magni. Marcel is a physical comedian who rehas been summoned to a testing place to re new his clown license. unHouben, who is dressed in black like an un dertaker, plays a dour, sour-faced individual who administers the licensing tests. He gives Marcel tasks to carry out that the clown finds difficult because he’s no longer young. Old age ain’t no place for sissies, as actress Bette Davis famously said. And as it turns out, it’s not such a great place for physical-theatre artists. At some moments, though, Marcel gives the audience glimpses of the agile comedian he must have roubeen in his youth, such as when he does a deft rou tine with a Charlie Chaplin-style bowler hat. It wouldn’t be right to reveal all of Magni’s and Houben’s bits of schtick. Suffice it to say that Magni can turn a cheap umbrella into a laugh-getter. A folding chair is an even bigger laugh-getter in his hands.

A Seminar in Physical Comedy The second one-act, “The Art of Laughter,” is a solo turn by Houben. As if he’s teaching a

seminar, he shows the audience how actors use their bodies to be funny. This play is hilarious and utterly absorbing — whether he’s tripping over his own two feet, imitating a drunk trying to screw a cap on a bottle or pretending to be a chicken looking at modern art in a gallery. Polonsky Shakespeare Center is the first venue where “Marcel” and “The Art of Laughter” are being presented in a double bill. They work really well as companion pieces, adding up to a thoroughly satisfying theatre experience. Also, this is the U.S. premiere of “Marcel.” Italian-born Magni and Belgian-born Houben are long-time theatrical collaborators. They met at Jacques Lecoq’s mime and movement school in Paris. In 1983 Magni was among the founders of a physical-theatre company in London called Theatre de Complicite. Houben was one of the company’s original members. *** Theatre for a New Audience’s 2017-2018 season opens with “Marcel” and “The Art of Laughter.” The double bill of comic one-acts runs through Nov. 19 at Polonsky Shakespeare Center. The theatre is located at 262 Ashland Place in the Brooklyn Cultural District. For tickets, see tfana.org or call 866-811-4111.

“When I was a kid,” Frank Carbone, vice chairman of the board for the Greenpoint YMCA, told the group gathered on the freshly lacquered gymnasium floor, “we came here, to this Y. “There wasn’t any buzzer on the door, so we’d just sneak in past the desk. We thought we were getting away with murder, but the director knew every single time … One time, he caught me trying to sneak out. He told me to bring my friends back — we could form our own basketball team in the Y gym if I’d volunteer to do one thing for the Greenpoint YMCA. “And I’ve been working on their behalf ever since,” he con-

cluded to applause. Greenpoint YMCA board Chairman Paul Pullo concurred: “I played here as a kid. And I’m very happy to get the chance to see it this way.” “This way” referred to the freshly renovated gymnasium, fitness room and spin center — the latter two fitted with the latest in technology, the former boasting new flooring, basketball hoops, scoreboard, benches, light fixtures and newly padded walls — thanks largely to a $250,000 grant from North Brooklyn waterfront developer Greenpoint Landing Associates.

“It’s important to give something back to the community,” explained Marian Klein, senior vice president of the Park Tower Group, of which Greenpoint Landing Associates is an affiliate. “And the YMCA is the center of the community here.” Indeed, just a few weeks prior to the gymnasium unveiling on Oct. 25, families camped out along Messerole Avenue and Lorimer Street to secure spots in the YMCA’s vaunted and reasonably priced day care program. The new fitness room, though not large, doesn’t have that cramped feeling that some do, leaving you to fear a poke in the eye from your neighbor’s next arm curl.

Overheard at the River Café: “This place is incredible! I literally feel like I’m on a boat floating beneath the Brooklyn Bridge.” And let’s see, some words that have been used by online commentators to describe THE RIVER CAFÉ at 1 Water St. are “elegant,” “oldschool in a good way,” “superb,” “classic” and “exceptional.” You can’t get much better than that, and the kudos and praise are from people who’ve visited THE RIVER CAFÉ from all over the world!  Overheard at the Café Chili: “My favorite place on the Court

Street/Cobble Hill strip is CAFÉ CHILI!” Online commentators rave about its “awesome lunch specials,” and the spring rolls and “bags of gold.” Someone actually said that it was one of the “loveliest Thai restaurants in Cobble Hill.” And we won’t disagree. Not only is the food phenomenal at CAFÉ CHILI, located at 172 Court St., but the outside garden is a sight to behold.  Hot Trivia Nights: THE BRAZEN HEAD at 228 Atlantic Ave. hosts a “Trivia Night” every Monday (except the first Monday of each month) and business partner SASHA wants you to check it out.

Well, CHADWICK’S would certainly be one of the places you can count on to find bold names enjoying some of the finest dining in the borough. One online commentator recently said, “I’ve tried steak houses all over New York and I must say the filet mignon at Chadwick’s was by far the best piece of steak I’ve ever had.” Another reviewer boasted, “The T-bone steak is mouth wateringly excellent.” So, whatever choice cut of beef you prefer, chances are CHADWICK’S will serve it up to your perfection.    DAMASCUS BAKERIES firmly believes that food can be both healthy and delicious. Did you know that its pita bread has only 17 grams of carbs in contrast to regular pita bread, which has 33 grams of carbs, and their competitor’s brand, which has 84 grams of carbs? That’s pretty impressive, especially considering how great Damascus breads taste. And Damascus offers the perfect bread for everyone: lavash wraps, paninis, pitas and rollups. Its motto is quite inspiring as well: We know we can satisfy not only your waistline but your appetite as well!    Now here’s something one needs to ponder. FRAGOLE’S website says the “chef won’t stand for restaurant food.” That’s right, every meal at FRAGOLE is an experience. The food isn’t in the style of Italian food; it is Italian food! From the bread to the gnocchi to most of the pastas to the sauces, VICTOR at FRAGOLE insists it is made by hand, in-house, every day. One delighted customer was heard to proclaim, “This is my favorite comfort food. Just like my grandma used to make.” And be sure to check out the new lunch menu featuring meatball panini with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella and basil on a ciabatta bread.

Glamour and Grit in Bushwick By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Glamour and grit. Hispanic haven and hipster haven. That’s Bushwick in a nutshell. You can spend a whole day walking around the neighborhood, which was one of Brooklyn’s original six towns, and tracking down landmarked and landmark-worthy architectural eye candy. Even the neighborhood’s subway stations are scenic. Have you seen the mosaic ceiling inside the Myrtle Avenue L-train station? Bushwick is a foodie magnet, with excellent places to eat Mexican and Ecuadoran food and go barhopping. But real estate nerds are more interested in brewers’ mansions than brew. Instead of writing up bar-crawl listings we’ll point the way to Bushwick Avenue, where beer barons and business tycoons lived long ago.

Brewers’ Mansions on Bushwick Avenue • Catherina Lipsius House at 670 Bushwick Ave. is everybody’s favorite brewers’ mansion. She and her family owned Bushwick’s Claus Lipsius Brewing Company. Her American Round Arched-style mansion has a turret like a small castle. The eye-catching individual city landmark on the corner of Bushwick and Willoughby avenues was designed by distinguished architect Theobald Engelhardt and constructed in 1889

These eye-catching residential buildings are located on the corner of Bushwick Avenue and Suydam Street.

and 1890. The house — which is also known as the Cook Mansion in honor of a later resident — hit the headlines in June 2016 when an upper-floor deck collapsed during a party. More than a dozen people were injured. Since then, the deck has been removed. The only visual hint that it existed is a door on an upstairs floor of the house where you’d expect a window to be. • Next door to Catherina Lipsius House, a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant has been demolished as a prelude to residential development. The site of a former KFC building whose address is 666 Bushwick Ave. also has frontage on Myrtle Avenue and Ditmars Street. The property belongs to an LLC controlled by DSRS Holdings LLC, with Dovie Sperlin as manager, city Finance Department records indicate. The LLC paid $1.4 million for the property, Finance Department records show. According to city Buildings Department filings, a 50-unit apartment building with commercial and community-facility space is planned for the site.

An 1850s Church and a Masonic Lodge • The landmarked Reformed Church of South Bushwick was built in 1853. Its original congregants lived on nearby farms. The church is still in use today. The Greek Revival-style house of worship at 855-867 Bushwick Ave. has a soaring spire. The Landmarks Preservation

This is Catherina Lipsius House, a landmarked brewers’ mansion on Bushwick Avenue.

Commission’s designation report about the building says this type of steeple topped the London churches that famed architect Christopher Wren designed after the Great Fire of London in 1666. • Construction is underway at another city landmark, the former Ridgewood Lodge No. 710, Free and Accepted Masons. It was designed by architecture firm Koch & Wagner and built in 1919 and 1920. The stately Masons’ lodge at 1054 Bushwick Ave. — which had served as a venue for indie concerts in recent years — is being converted into an apartment building. The developer is Yoel Wertzberger, the managing member of an LLC that purchased the property for $2 million in 2014, Finance Department records indicate.  See brooklyneagle.com for additional photos of the neighborhood’s glamour and grit.

Renovations Are Now Underway at Doering-Bohack House in Bushwick Landmarked Wood-Frame House Sold for $1.6M Last Year By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

It’s a standout among Bushwick’s apartment buildings, rowhouses and brick brewers’ mansions — an enormous 1880s wood-frame house with a big lawn, and a garage, too. As a bonus, it was designed by an important late 19th-century architect, Theobald Engelhardt. Doering-Bohack House at 1090 Greene Ave. on the corner of Goodwin Place is a yellow clapboard house with neo-Grec and Queen Anne detailing. It was designated as an individual city landmark in September 2014. Since then, it has been sold — and the new owner is renovating it. The work includes the installation of steel beams and columns, the underpinning of 53 linear feet of exterior walls, the elimination of brick walls in the cellar, a plumbing upgrade and other interior work, city Buildings Department filings indicate. The new owner, Gabriel Check, purchased the property for $1.6 million in November 2016, city Finance Department records show. The Landmarks Preservation Commission calls the property Doering-Bohack House because its very first owners were husband and wife Frederick Doering and Rosa Theodora Doering. Later, supermarket king Henry C. Bohack owned the house for many years. Film buffs are familiar with the Bohack grocery-store chain, which he founded. In “The Odd Couple,” fussy Felix, played by Jack Lemmon, squeezes melons at a Bohack market.

Renovations at St. Barbara’s Church By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Gloria in Excelsis Deo. Preservation-minded Brooklynites rejoice! St. Barbara’s is being renovated. On Oct. 13, the city Buildings Department issued a permit for exterior masonry repairs at this one-of-a-kind Catholic church. The property is located on the corner of Central Avenue and Bleecker Street in Bushwick. When we made a visit to it the other day, sunshine lit up the construction netting that covers the front of the church and made it transparent. Through the gauzy veil, we saw workers up on the scaffolding beneath the netting. For what seems like Biblical eons, there has been scaffolding in place at the landmarked church at 138 Bleecker St. Now the fix-up is finally happening. Why should you care about this church? Because it’s a Spanish Colonial Revival-style marvel.

Spanish Colonial Revival-Style, But Built by German Immigrants We’ve seen photos of the church that were taken when it wasn’t covered by scaffolding. It’s magnificent. St. Barbara’s Roman Catholic Church looks like it belongs in Cartagena, Colombia or some other south-of-the-border city where Spanish Colonial-era architecture flourishes. But here it is, in Bushwick — in a parish that was founded by German immigrants, who were the predominant population in the neighborhood at the time of its construction. The church was built in 1907 to 1910. It is made of butter-yellow brick and white terra cotta. Twin bell towers flanking the front door on Central Avenue, both 175 feet tall, are topped by cupolas and crosses. There are elaborately decorated columns all over the place. On the Bleecker Street side of the building, there’s a beautiful dome. This part of the building is only partly hidden from sight by a sidewalk shed, so you can get a pretty good look at it. The interior is glorious. We took photos of it the other day

— after morning Mass, of course, so we didn’t disturb worshippers. When you’re inside, the dome is dazzling. The arched ceiling is divinely decorated. The altar is a thing of beauty. See brooklyneagle.com for additional photos we snapped.

Helmle & Huberty Were the Architects St. Barbara’s was designed by distinguished architectural firm Helmle & Huberty. It designed many important public structures such as the Boathouse in Prospect Park. According to the city Landmarks Preservation Commission’s designation report about the church, Spanish Colonial Revival architecture was “fairly uncommon” in the Northeastern United States at the time of St. Barbara’s construction. The style is based on the architecture of 16th- and 17th-century Spain. The fact that St. Barbara’s is a city landmark is another reason for preservation-minded Brooklynites to say Glory Hallelujah. It was a Backlog95 building — one of 95 historic sites that languished in limbo for decades on the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s calendar for designation consideration. A couple years ago, the preservation agency was going to erase the sites from its calendar but changed course after public outcry. Instead, the sites were given fast-track consideration. St. Barbara’s had been on the agency’s calendar since 1980. In December 2016, the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) voted to make it a landmark — despite the objections of the Diocese of Brooklyn. St. Barbara’s protected status means it cannot be demolished or have its exterior altered without the LPC’s approval.

Mayhorn views the body as a delicate organ that has the capacity to store energy frequencies of everyday experiences, systemic racism, inequality and generational trauma and is interested in how individuals recalibrate themselves.

But much more than just places of morbid curiosity, the cemeteries of New York City are cross sections of the city’s history and are the final homes of its most significant citizens. This one-session class will give an overview of the evolution of cemeteries in New York City, their place in its history, as well as a look into some of the “secret” cemeteries hidden all around us. When: Thursday, Nov. 9, 8:30-10 p.m. Where: Prospect Heights/Brooklyn Brainery (190 Underhill Ave.)

This band of brothers, under the watchful eye of their father (and bassist) Courtney Panton Sr., dubbed themselves New Kingston to appropriately reflect the combination of their Jamaican heritage and their present lives in New York City.

Suppressing her own identity for survival, Ella is plunged into an unfamiliar world of factory work, machismo and burgeoning militancy — a claustrophobic existence dominated by the fear of discovery and the changing face of authority in a volatile country.

North Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce Holds Fall Orientation in The Brass Factory Greenpoint and Williamsburg Businesses Watch as Door Opens to State’s Largest Chamber of Commerce By Andy Katz Special to INBrooklyn

North Greenpoint Chamber of Commerce President Paul Samulski hustled back and forth within one corner of the cavernous work space, directing the placement of benches and tables, setting out bottles of wine and placing baskets of edibles in a neat row. “It’s easy to explain what we do,” Samulski said, in reference to the North Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. “But now that we have reciprocal membership, many of our people don’t realize what’s available to them compliments of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce.” In March 2016, the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce announced a partnership with the North Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce (also known then as the “Greenpoint Chamber of Commerce”) that would give all North Brooklyn members automatic membership in New York state’s largest chamber of commerce. “The idea,” Samulski went on, “is for us to do this hopeful-

ly quarterly. The Brooklyn Chamber has pages and pages of programs. For the most part, our people aren’t aware of them and don’t know how to take advantage of them.” After guests were seated and the orientation program began on Oct. 25, Samulski introduced himself to the new members, and also introduced Meg Helming, Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce director of membership, and Communications Associate Adam Kilduff, also of the Brooklyn Chamber. “One of the things we’re doing with this program,” Samulski continues, “is to use different locations — to try to show members what commercial and retail spaces are available to them, and also different kinds of working areas.” Autumn’s orientation session took place in The Brass Factory, a refurbished factory and warehouse on Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg. Boasting the largest “co-working space” in North Brooklyn with some 22,000 square feet, mostly contiguous space, brightly lit with large windows and white interior paint, The Brass Factory offers a

single desk for just over $5,000 monthly, or private offices at substantially more. Given its location, it comes as no surprise that basic amenities include indoor bicycle parking, a working kitchen with snacks, coffee, teas and beer and even 1960s-style mod hanging egg chairs for creative rest and recuperation. Kilduff and Helming brought audio-visual aids. “We try to cut down on the amount of white noise members encounter in the business community,” Helm Helming declared. Her presentation net emphasized the Chamber’s networking events. “It can be very intimidating, putting yourself out there,” she acknowledged. She displayed the Chamber’s signature events that include Brooklyn Designs, Brooklyn Eats and the Building Brooklyn Awards. Continued on page 13

“The Chamber advocates for its members,” Kilduff said. “We’ve had members and experts visit legislators, offer public testimony, examine legislative agendas on behalf of other members.” With more than 2,000 members, Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce staff are confident that they have the bases covered in virtually any field of commercial endeavor. “You get out of it what you put into it,” Samulski told the audience. “You need to go to events, you need to meet people. If you say

they [the Brooklyn Chamber] probably don’t do that, they probably do. If you think they probably can’t help you, they probably can.” After the presentations came a call for questions. One prospective member raised his hand: “My building is on a corner very close to here, 12th and Wythe Avenue. Traffic is dangerous. We need a light. People have complained, but we can’t get action.” After referencing the need to address the NYC Department of Transportation with a problem like that, Helming paused: “Give me a call in a few days and we’ll talk about it.”
