Those young, fresh-faced and immensely talented singers, the Harvard Kokodriloes, faced the corrupting influences of the demon rum on their second night in Brooklyn. Or, if not rum, then beer, which a good half of the group is still too young to imbibe legally. However good the cause. And it was a good cause. The North Brooklyn Angels’ Food Truck was the beneficiary of the Kroks’ Williamsburg-Greenpoint show at Brooklyn Brewery. For months now, the North Brooklyn Angels Food Truck has made regular stops in Greenpoint, Bushwick and Williamsburg to provide free hot lunches to all comers, an acutely vital service in light of how much the development that has created opportunities, has also raised the cost of living all over Brooklyn, but especially in North Brooklyn. On hand representing the

Angels were Special Projects Director Felice Kirby and Food Truck developer Neil Sheehan. Food Trunk volunteer server Kathleen O’Boyle brought her sister, Tara O’Boyle. “They’re working on a way to get me involved,” Tara O’Boyle explained. “She works long hours, so it’s complicated,” sister Kathleen interjected. “But what a great cause,” Tara continued. “I really want to do my bit.” Tonight’s session is far more casual, and perhaps for that reason, more intimate than the previous night’s Heights Casino appearance. The Kroks’ set list is essentially the same. As Brooklyn Brewery is a bottling plant and nightclub, its acoustics aren’t as spot on as Heights’ squash court. But they’re not bad, either. The extra square footage provides an enhancement of their sound—which is also being amplified by way of a single microphone. continued on inside front

‘Stoopdreamer’ Is a Story About the Old Neighborhood: Windsor Terrace The Original Play is Park Slope Filmmaker Jay Cusato’s Newest Production By John Alexander INBrooklyn

“Stoopdreamer,” a new drama by Patrick Fenton, deals with the lingering effects of gentrification in Brooklyn. The story takes place 70 years after Robert Moses began a massive roads project that displaced 1,252 families from Windsor Terrace in 1945. Moses, a well-known public figure, was known as the “master builder” of roads and bridges during the mid-20th century in New York City. The play deals with the aftermath, as three of those displaced local residents gather to recall their vivid memories of the past at the iconic Farrell’s Bar & Grill, the last remaining Irish saloon from that era. In “Stoopdreamer,” drinks are poured, stories are shared, and secrets are revealed as this trio of Brooklynites imagine a future that might have been. Fenton calls this production of “Stoopdreamer”

A new Brooklyn play by Pat Fenton.

a dream come true. After a successful run in 2015 at Cell Theater in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood, Fenton dreamed about a performance in the neighborhood where the play takes place. Around that time filmmaker Jay Cusato had started pre-production on a documentary about Farrell’s, which has been described as the quintessential American bar. Cusato’s film will seek to answer why this bar has stayed open and in almost the same condition since 1933. Because Cusato would need assistance from area residents and frequent visitors of Windsor Terrace to tell an accurate story of this neighborhood staple and its owner Eddie Farrell, it became the hope of Fenton and Cusato that bringing “Stoopdreamer” to Windsor Terrace would raise awareness for the documentary.” Cusato, an award-winning independent filmmaker, was born and raised in Brooklyn. He is the executive producer and one of the creators of Park Slope Films and has over 60 film projects to his credit, ranging from feature films to short films,

Farrell's owner Jimmy Houlihan sketch comedy, commercial work, live shows, music videos and documentaries including “When Broomsticks Were King,” about the history of stickball on the streets of Brooklyn. Cusato told the Brooklyn Eagle, “I have been working on this Farrell’s project for sometime and one of the people helping me with research for the bar is playwright Pat Fenton. Pat grew up in Windsor Terrance, grew up drinking in Farrell’s and wrote ‘Stoopdreamer,’” Cusato and Fenton’s goal was to present the play in Windsor Terrace. “Pat and I thought if we put the play on in Windsor Terrance a lot of people who know about Farrell’s, the owner Eddie Farrell and the history of the neighborhood would come out to see ‘Stoopdreamer,’ said Cusato. “We also thought that if we made it part of a fundraiser for Holy Name Church it be an added bonus to the neighborhood.” Cusato next brought director Aimee Todoroff on board to develop the live stage readings of “Stoopdreamer.” Todoroff has been a part of several Obie Award-winning productions, performing in the Peculiar Works Project’s “Off Stage — the East Village Fragments” and directing “Green” for the Metropolitan Playhouse’s 2010-2011 Season. “Working on ‘Stoopdreamer’ has been a revelation,” said Todoroff. “Discovering the history of this vibrant neighborhood, and how the people here were divided by the expressway in 1953, brings to light how much character and resilience exists in

special communities like Windsor Terrace. Fenton was born in Windsor Terrace on St Patrick’s Day. After working eight years as a cargo loader at New York’s Kennedy Airport, Fenton quit to take a civil service job as a court officer in Manhattan’s courts, and to continue a freelance writing career as a journalist. This led to his work being published in magazines and books, including The New York Times, New York Newsday, the Daily News, New York Magazine, and the Irish Echo. His writings have also appeared in numerous literary anthologies including, “The Irish, a Treasury of Art and Literature,” and the “Book of Irish Americans.” In addition, he has also worked as a New York City taxicab driver, bartender, and radio host. “Stoopdreamer” show times are Saturday, Jan. 13 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Jan. 14, at 3 p.m. at Shepherds Hall at 245 Prospect Park West in Windsor Terrace. A majority of the proceeds from the ticket sales will go to Holy Name Church. Cusato said that the production would not be possible without the help of Jimmy Houlihan owner of Farrell’s Bar & Grill, Holy Name Fundraising Committee and Mike Coyne, who were all instrumental. “This play is about memory and loss,” said Todoroff. “But it’s also about hope; hope that dreams come true, hope that you can become who you want to be, hope that you can go home again and there will still be a place for you at the bar.”

‘Stoopdreamer’ Is a Story About the Old Neighborhood: Windsor Terrace Hot, smart & celebrated world-wide, singers begin 2018 tours in Brooklyn Continued from page 1

The Harvard Krokadiloes, one of the most popular and celebrated a cappella groups in the world, lead off their 2018 US tour with three Brooklyn concerts benefitting local charities. In the summer they will embark on their world tour. Each year they perform more than 200 concerts, and have, since their founding, visited more than 100 countries around the world. The first concert in Brooklyn will take place Friday, Jan. 5 at the Heights Casino to benefit the Brooklyn Heights Association. Saturday night they perform at Brooklyn Brewery to benefit the North Brooklyn Angels Mobile Soup Kitchen. Sunday midday they sing at River Cafe luncheon to benefit the Dodge Y, founded in 1854 as the Brooklyn Central Y, one of the oldest in the U.S. The Kroks will begin their Brooklyn tour on Friday evening with a warm-up concert in the wonderful acoustics of the Heights Casino Doubles Squash Court (each year they praise the extraordinary sound of that space). Patrons will enjoy drinks and hors d’ouevres during the warmup concert. At 7:15 the Kroks Actors toperform readings from will adjourn the Governors Room for a formal concert, to be Pat Fenton’s “Stoopdreamer.” followed by more food and mingling with patrons in the beautiful bar area overlooking the tennis courts. Patron tickets are $100 per person. A Friends of Kroks ticket ($200) gets all of the above, plus stay and enjoy a full seated dinner mingling with all of the Krokodiloes in the Heights Casino formal dining room. Proceeds to benefit Brooklyn Heights Association. The benefit concert at the Brooklyn Brewery on Saturday, January 6th will begin at 9pm to benefit North Brooklyn Angels mobile soup kitchen. The evening will include pizza and all the beer you can drink. In these bitter, brutal, cold days of January, the gift of a hot meal makes a big difference. “Come and support ‘neighbors serving neighbors’ and hear one of the best a cappella groups on the planet”, said Felice Kirby. “The $40 ticket price will serve ten meals to your neighbors in need.” The Harvard Krokodiloes will round out their Brooklyn tour at the River Café for a concert and brunch on Sunday, Jan. 7. The concert will benefit the prestigious and historic Dodge Y, originally founded as the Brooklyn Central YMCA in 1853. Patrons will hear a concert on the enclosed River Café terrace and then mingle with the Kroks in an inimitable River Café Brunch. “This is a great chance to get the best of everything: one of the best a cappella music groups in the world, one Br of the restaurants oobest klyn in the world, all to benefit one of the best Y’s in the world,” said Alexa Eccles, chairman of the Dodge Y Board. Originally founded in 1853 as one of the oldest YMCAs in the U.S., theLet Dodge enjoys one next of the event! richest histories in Let us us Yhost host your your next event! New York. By the turn of the century, the Y dedicated a new building “the largest YMCA in the world” on Hanson Place. Early funders included John D. Rockefeller and the Pratt family. As vital as its early years were, the central branch suffered loss of support through the Depression and the post war flight from Brooklyn of many families. Kept alive by a dedicated few, the central branch operated from a storefront in Brooklyn Heights at the turn of the New Century. In 2005, however, the branch was reborn in its current home on Atlantic Avenue and thrives today thanks in part to a significant grant from the Dodge family foundation. The Harvard Kroks were founded in 1946 as an offshoot of the famous Hasty Pudding Club (founded in 1770). For the past 71 years, the Kroks have performed in more than 100 countries around the world, and each year they give more than 200 concerts. The Kroks are the oldest a cappella group at Harvard University, and in March 2016 celebrated 70 years of harmony. Since the BAchelor group’s inception, the Harvard Krokodiloes & BAchelorette partieshave been performing popular music of the Great American Songbook, as well as more traditional aires, in front of audiences across the country and around the world.

The other day we went looking for icicles — and found them on Valentino Pier. We wanted to snap photos of winter scenes in Red Hook. Louis Valentino Jr. Park and Pier, with its killer views of the Statue of Liberty, was the ideal place to start. Spray kicked up during Buttermilk Channel’s high tides had deposited a fringe of icicles on the grillwork of the fence along the pier — and on nearby park benches, too. Numerous rocks along the shoreline were ice-coated. They resembled gigantic ice cubes. After what seemed like an endless stretch of Arctic temperatures, the sun decided to grace Brooklyn with its presence last week. The sight of those blue skies made a good long walk in Red Hook seem irresistible. The window of opportunity for an outdoor adventure was tight. The forecast promised just two days of sunny weather before the arrival of the bomb cyclone. There’s no better place to be on a bright January day — even when it’s 22 degrees outside — than Red Hook. The endearing neighborhood has massive New York City Housing Authority complexes, artists’ studios, grimy industrial buildings and a picturesque working waterfront. Sunlight streams down on Civil War-era warehouses, old-fashioned rowhouses and classic cobblestone streets. Red Hook is located on a peninsula, so there’s water, water, every where, to borrow a line from Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “Rime of the Ancient Mariner.” Shoreline sites like Valentino Pier are suitable for solitary strolls during January’s deep freezes. There’s nobody around except for the occasional Red Hook resident walking a canine companion or two. You can avoid frostbite with a balaclava and sheepskin boots. Wear two pairs of gloves, layered one on top of the other. When it’s time to duck indoors to recharge your phone, warm up with hot chowder at Red Hook Lobster Pound or quiche made with jalapeño peppers at coffee shop Baked. At IKEA, the Swedish home-furnishings megastore, a warm cinnamon roll costs one dollar.

Lehigh Valley Barge #79 and the Queen Mary 2

There are many must-see spots during a winter stroll. Here are just a few: • A few blocks away from Valentino Pier, the shoreline next to the Merchant Stores Building is worth a look. The historic 1870s-vintage brick warehouse is at 175 Van Dyke St. Neighboring Pier 44 Waterfront Garden’s boardwalk also affords a view of this shoreline.

The day we were there, ice covered the underside of the New York Water Taxi dock that’s behind the grocery store. Nearby, the red paint on Lehigh Valley Barge #79 added a fiery-bright spot of color to the scenery. By the way, the barge is also known as the Waterfront Museum. • A few blocks away, on Beard Street, gantry cranes cast reflections in the waters of Erie Basin Park. If you turn and face the shoreline, you can see the World Trade Center. If you listen to the winter silence, maybe you’ll hear the ghostly echoes of workers’ voices from Todd Shipyard. It stood here. The gantry cranes were part of it. IKEA constructed a megastore on the site of the demolished shipyard — and was obligated to build the park. • Henry Street Basin’s waters serve as a mirror for the iconic Red Hook Grain Terminal. The mirror works well in the winter. The spot where you stand to see the vacant grain building is in Red Hook Park — which was deserted the day we were there, except for one woman and her friendly dog. • We spent two days walking around Red Hook because there’s so much to see. On the second day of our visit, the Queen Mary 2 was docked at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, which is right next to Red Hook’s NYC Ferry landing. Cunard Line’s super-sized ship is 1,132 feet long and can carry 2,691 passengers. Its height is limited because it was designed to pass beneath the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. Even so, when it’s in port in low-rise Red Hook, the Queen Mary 2 is visible to pedestrians who are several blocks away.

Here’s the King & Sullivan Red Hook Townhomes development, where houses are selling for big bucks.

Seen in Erie Basin Park: Where are all the sun worshippers? Oh, right. It’s 22 degrees out here.

Ka-ching! The rowhouses Sanba Partners have built across the street from Red Hook’s elementary school are selling for big bucks. At the King & Sullivan Red Hook Townhomes, as they’re called, the median price for 2017 house sales was $2.63 million, a December report from PropertyShark.com said. According to city Finance Department records, a sampling of specific transactions includes Murray Butler and Maryanne Butler’s purchase of 84 Sullivan St. for $2,723,818. Also, Andrew Deitchman and Heather Baltz paid $2,698,362 for 121 King St., Finance Department records show. The addresses of the development’s 22 rowhouses are 109 to 125 King St. and 72 to 84 Sullivan St. The King & Sullivan development is across the street from P.S. 15, the Patrick F. Daly Magnet School of the Arts. The school at 71 Sullivan St. is named after a beloved principal who was caught in the crossfire of a gun battle in 1992 while he was searching the neighborhood for a pupil who had left school in tears. Three teenagers involved in the gun battle were convicted of murdering Daly.

Several other recent Red Hook property sales also caught our eye: • Renovation is underway at recently sold 371 Van Brunt St. The three-family house is being converted to a two-family home, city Buildings Department records indicate. According to Finance Department records, an LLC with Frederic C. Duchac as a member purchased the house for $2.3 million. • The new owner of 192 Coffey St. plans to convert the two-family rowhouse to a single-family home, Buildings Department records show. The house belongs to Britton T. Winterer, who purchased it for $2.1 million, Finance Department records show. Winterer is an executive at publicly traded Gramercy Property Trust, which owns and manages industrial real estate. • An LLC with William Amenta as general manager paid $2.075 million for 80 Pioneer St., Finance Department records show. The three-family house is on the corner of Richards Street. • According to Finance Department records, Fox Management NY Inc., whose president is Lior Raviv, bought 127 Pioneer St. for $1.075 million.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM

MYBROOKLYNCALENDAR.COM Calendar Events January 11-17 Arts Leslie Kerby’s The World Contained Leslie Kerby’s work employs a variety of media to explore how identity and social narratives are constructed personally and collectively. “The World Contained” investigates the multivalent uses of boxes: as containment vessels within global trade and as temporary materials for low-cost housing. Through the course of the animation, Kerby creates a universe punctuated by shelters of boxes perpetually in flux. The collages of rectangles rotate in an orderly line while the cut-outs of hands and feet haphazardly navigate the matrix of structures under construction. The individual body parts move through the network that they create, intrinsically linked to the boxes and to themselves as they struggle to establish a sense of place against the stark background. When: Through Jan. 29 Where: Fort Greene/BRIC Arts (647 Fulton St.) Please Don’t Spit in My Garden Bryan Martello explores themes of queer generativity, paternal instincts, indulgence and aging through the construction of a makeshift garden. His garden acts as a queer space of opportunity where heteronormative standards are suspended and hierarchies dismantled. The work thinks of alternative ways to continue a lineage and prevent it from being lost. When: Mondays-Friday through Jan. 19, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Where: Sunset Park/NARS Foundation (201 46th St.) Soulful Creatures: Animal Mummies in Ancient Egypt Drawn from the Brooklyn Museum’s collection, this exhibition features examples from among the many millions of mummies of birds, cats, dogs, snakes and other animals preserved from at least 31 different cemeteries throughout Egypt. Animals were central to the ancient Egyptian worldview. Most animals had connections to a particular deity. After death, mummified animals’ souls could carry a message to a god. When: Wednesday-Sunday, through Jan. 21, 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. Where: Crown Heights/Brooklyn Museum (200 Eastern Parkway)

“Soulful Creatures: Animal Mummies in Ancient Egypt” will be on exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum through Jan. 21.

When: Thursday-Sunday, through Jan. 28, 1-6 p.m. Where: Crown Heights/Five Myles (558 St. John’s Place) Frank Morrison: Urban Restoration Exhibition This exhibit explores the reclaiming of discourse surrounding urban environments and the voices that narrate, advocate for and profit from their existence. The ever-increasing social cache of “street art” into contemporary “fine art” spaces is evidence of the allure of new narratives that highlight everyday people who are often misrepresented. The core of the city has an incubative nature that has birthed hip-hop, the culture that narrates a collective journey of resilience through survival. When: Saturday and Sunday, through Jan. 28, 12-7 p.m. Where: Bedford-Stuyvesant/Richard Beavers Gallery (408 Marcus Garvey Blvd.) Watermelon Punch A group show featuring four artists who have been variously buddies and partners: Caroline Cox, Tim Spelios, Jude Tallichet and Matt Freedman. They have shared a long friendship and a history of collaboration. This, however, is their first four-person show together.

Using the events of 9/11, the 2003 Northeast Blackout, Superstorm Sandy and other severe weather events as examples, the exhibition reveals the critical role that mass transit personnel play in preparing for and responding to natural and manmade disasters. Through a vibrant display of objects, photographs, media and personal accounts, the exhibition highlights the technical and professional skills needed to restore public transportation service and get New Yorkers moving again after crisis strikes. When: Tuesday-Sunday, through February (Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.; Saturday-Sunday, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.) Where: Downtown Brooklyn/New York Transit Museum (Boerum Place and Schermerhorn Street) Until Everyone Has it Made: Jackie Robinson’s Legacy On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson broke the professional baseball color line when the Brooklyn Dodgers started him at first base. Seventy years later, on April 5, 2017, Brooklyn Historical Society was proud to open a new exhibition celebrating this seminal moment in American history. Featuring a wonderful array of archival materials, photography, programs and memorabilia, the exhibition tells a story that continues to resonate today. When: Wednesday-Sunday, through June 30, 12-5 p.m. Where: Brooklyn Heights/Brooklyn Historical Society (128 Pierrepont St.)

TWO KISKADEES LLC

The night’s Harvard alumni were represented by Laselo Seress, ’14 and Paul Sagawa, ’85, who join in to help render that most traditional Krokodilo standard, “Johnny O’Connor.” “Some of you may have heard,” Tour Director Angus Woods announced just before the group’s finale, “that you can take a Krok home with you tonight for just $20.00.”

He holds up a CD. “And, for tonight only, you can have two for the very special price of $40.00!” Okay, okay … but in all fairness, proceeds go to support the group as they continue their North American tour. Next stop is Vail, Colorado, then Los Angeles, where daytime highs were reported to be in the mid-seventies. Given the contrast with Brooklyn’s recent temps, it seems only fair to help them on their way.

Josh Cohen is an Owner, Partner in 10 North Brooklyn Restaurants & Bars They Include Anella, Lilia, Jimmy’s Diner, Chez Ma Tante, St. Vitas and Casa Publica “While still young, Josh Cohen has a history of supporting efforts to feed the vulnerable, poor and displaced of North Brooklyn. He does whatever is asked of him. He is the perfect ally for North Brooklyn Angel’s Mobile Soup Kitchen.” Neil Sheehan prepared me for the Josh Cohen I met at the handsome 130-year-old parish, Mount Carmel Church, on North 8th Street. We spoke where Josh is most comfortable, the kitchen. Josh is an owner and partner in ten North Brooklyn restaurants & bars, including Anella, Lilia, Jimmy’s Diner, Chez Ma Tante, St. Vitas and Casa Publica. His businesses have their share of rave reviews and accolades. Another owner-operator might just sit home and eye the proceeds, but Josh does business differently. He’ Brooklynborn and raised, and all of his interests are almost within walking distance. Beyond personal business, Josh takes on sometimes tiresome, but important responsibilities in the neighborhood: Community Board 1, North Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce and the Open Space Alliance. Oh, and then there’s home life in Greenpoint, with life/business partner Blair, plus their three young children. Josh’s “brag?” Project Hunger — the soup kitchen at the Church of the Ascension on Kent Street, and the North Brooklyn Angels. Project Hunger ran on Saturdays at the Church of the Ascension, serving up to 100 meals weekly. Josh cooked also mentored a group of young kitchen volunteers. According to Father John, pastor at Church of the Ascension, Josh wanted to see improvements in feeding people in need: more often, more regular, more meals. These conversations with Father John and Neil Sheehan helped ignite the idea of a mobile soup kitchen. Josh Cohen cheered on a “hare-brained scheme.” According to Father John, Josh promised, “If you build, it, I will do whatever I can to help”.

Josh Cohen Josh has been true to his word, cooking, planning, ordering materials and setting up systems in the church kitchen, which is also now the local commissary, dedicated to help the Mobile Soup kitchen. Josh prepares about 1,000 meals a week. At the end

of this interview, Josh summed up his volunteer involvement exactly as expected from such a humble and unassuming man. “Helping is not something I think too much about, it’s instinctual. Feeding people is a way to show them we care.” He added,

“Really this is the medium through which I can be of the most service.” Service is the key word; his desire to be of service to the community makes Josh a North Brooklyn Angel.
