BROOKLYN PET BLESSINGS 2019: It’s said that Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of animals because he took diligent care of many living things. He’s even said to have hosted a donkey and an ox at the ﬁrst nativity scene staged outside his hometown in the year 1220. He preached that protection over all living things on earth is a Christian obligation. So, recently, honoring St. Francis Day, worshipers from across Brooklyn brought many dogs, cats and at least one turtle to church. To promote good health and the general well-being of their pets, parishioners joined in prayers and blessings led by their ministries. For a few worshippers, a sick or lost pet were at the forefront of their thoughts. Siblings Pilar Blanco and Juan Blanco (pictured below) brought an urn containing the remains of their cat ‘Cuqui,’ as they visited St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn Heights, so that the ashes could be blessed.

Heights Median Prices Now Top Million: StreetEasy According to the real estate website StreetEasy, Brooklyn Heights has joined two other Brooklyn neighborhoods (Prospect Heights and Williamsburg) where the median price of homes is now more than $1 million. The median recorded sales price of homes in Brooklyn Heights in 2019 is listed at $1,010,00. Williamsburg and Brooklyn Heights likely broke the threshold “because of their lively atmosphere and desirable location along the East River,” StreetEasy said. Prospect Heights has a significant number of single-family homes and townhouses, which are more likely to nudge home prices upward. While home prices in Manhattan have fallen, they are still much higher than Brooklyn in select neighborhoods, with Tribeca leading the way at $4,100,000 and Soho following at $2,725,00.

Mandatory heat provision period begins, and so do the complaints By Kelly Mena Brooklyn Heights Press

Oct. 1 marked the beginning of this year’s “heat season,” the period from Oct. 1 to May 1 when building owners are required to provide heat during the day and night for tenants. The requirement states that between the hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., if the temperature outside falls below 55 degrees, the inside temperature is required to be at least 68 degrees. At night, from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., the requirement changes to at least 62 degrees. Over the first nine days of the month, as temperatures ranged from as low as 29 degrees to as high as 81 degrees, a total of 2,808 heat complaints were filed across the city. Two days in particular, Oct. 5 and Oct. 8, accounted for 1,547 of those complaints alone. A spokesperson with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, Matthew Creegan, noted that 311 complaints don’t necessarily mean there is a violation or an infraction, such as a heat or hot water outage. The city can’t determine the situation at the property until an inspector goes out to the property to inspect. “If an inspector writes a violation, HPD notifies the owner with instructions to repair the condition within a specific time period — the time period for correcting heat and hot water violations is immediate,” Creegan said. Buildings that do not correct the violations immediately face a fine of $250 to $1,000, according to the mandate. The season has started at a convenient time for some affordable housing developments; tenants at the Cadman Towers in Brooklyn Heights, for example, just received $250,000 in capital funding for four new boilers. Cadman Towers is a Mitchell-Lama development that provides affordable rental and cooperative housing to moderate- and middle-income families. Brooklyn has 35 Mitchell-Lama housing developments, accounting for 18,000 units. The allocation will go toward replacing

boilers that are more than four decades old, according to the Borough President’s Office, which provided the funding. “These homes have been ladders to the middle class for so many people for so many years. Investments like the one we’re announcing today are important, but we need a long-term solution. We need the city and state to take a more hands-on role in preserving these homes for future generations,” said Borough President Eric Adams in a press release. According to a recently released report by Localize.city — a real estate platform that provides data on property across the city — Brooklyn had the most buildings with heat and hot water complaints from September 2018 through August 2019 — more than 67,500 complaints across 11,053 buildings. The violations made up a third of all the complaints in that time span. Brooklyn neighborhoods also accounted in the report for half of the top 10 areas citywide with the most heat and hot water complaints: Crown Heights, East New York, BedfordStuyvesant, Bushwick and East Flatbush.

Beetlemania ends!: Invasive Asian longhorned beetle banished from city By Mary Frost Brooklyn Heights Press

The insect that threatened to wipe out tens of thousands of the city’s trees has been squashed. State, city and federal agencies announced on Thursday that the Asian longhorned beetle has finally been eradicated in Brooklyn and Queens, the last two holdouts in the city. At a celebration in McCarren Park in Williamsburg, cupcakes decorated with pictures of the distinctive black insect were served to jubilant parkgoers and agriculture and horticulture experts. “Today is a great day for our urban forest as we announce the eradication of the Asian longhorned beetle,” announced Liam Kavanagh, first deputy commissioner of the city’s Parks Department. “It was a bleak day for forestry in New York City when this pest was discovered. Half of the hardwood trees in New York State are susceptible.”

Cupcakes decorated with pictures of Asian Longhorned Beetles were served at a party last Thursday celebrating the elimination of the pests in Brooklyn and Queens. The successful eradication was the result of a decadeslong collaborative effort by multiple city, state and federal agencies, non-governmental organizations and private landowners, officials said. These include the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, the state’s Department of Agriculture and Markets and Department of Environmental Conservation, and the city’s Department of Parks. “It’s been a long, hard road,” USDA’s Samantha Simon said. “We knew that if it became established, the Asian longhorned beetle would threaten billions of dollars’ worth of timber [and] the maple syrup industry.” The insect attacks maple, elm, willow, horse-chestnut, mulberry, birch, green ash, sycamore and London planetrees. Since the insect was first discovered in Brooklyn, it has spread to Long Island, Massachusetts and Ohio, Simon said. Assemblymember Joseph Lentol recalled that Monsignor McGolrick Park in Greenpoint was hit hard by the beetle when it first arrived. “We lost every single maple tree,” he said. The Forestry Service “promised to replace every tree, and delivered.”

Specialists hired by USDA inspected trees in Cadman Plaza Park in Downtown Brooklyn over the summer. The final elimination of the beetle in New York City made some officials positively light-hearted. “While this is a celebration, it’s also a bit of a funeral,” DEC Director Steve Zahn joked. “Don’t let the door hit you on the carapace on the way out.” The Agriculture Department’s Christopher Logue said that the agency took an aggressive role — “inspecting, surveying, implementing quarantines.” They also worked to educate local landscapers, which “put more eyes on the ground.” Residents took an active role by opening up their property, he said. “It’s a shining example of success in this area.”

Oﬃcials planted a tree in McCarren Park in honor of the end of the Asian longhorned beetle scourge in New York City.

It’s been 23 years since the invasive beetle (technically not a bug) was first detected in Brooklyn. Experts believe it entered the country on wooden pallets shipped to Greenpoint. The USDA calculated the speckled insect, about the size of a waterbug with antennae as long as its body, has wiped out more than 24,000 New York trees, and 180,000 nationwide. Thursday’s announcement marks the end of a six-year quarantine in northern Brooklyn and Queens. To eliminate the beetle, APHIS regulated the movement of trees, firewood and woody debris and carried out surveys to find and remove infested trees. In total, APHIS removed 5,208 infested trees and treated 67,609 at-risk trees. Ashley Ardilo, with the Department of Agriculture, says people still need to keep their eyes open for the Asian longhorned beetle and other invasive pests, such as the spotted lanternfly. “The more eyes that we have out there, the better,” she said.

A new proposal would ban jails from Rikers. Is it enough to convince jail plan skeptics? By David Brand and Meaghan McGoldrick Brooklyn Heights Press

A City Council committee voted last Thursday in favor of a plan that would forever banish jails from Rikers Island — long the stated intent of an unprecedented land use proposal for building four new detention facilities across the city, but a provision that was never actually codified in the text of the plan. Mayor Bill de Blasio and the City Council proposed a map change — a change in the designation or boundaries of a particular zoning district — that would formally ban jails on the isolated island by the end of 2026. The proposal comes amid growing pressure from progressive opponents of the plan, which would create a new 1,150-bed jail in every borough but Staten Island. Thursday’s vote marked the first time the City Council as a body has put forth a land-use proposal, according to Council officials. As of minutes before the vote last Thursday, however, the proposal had not been made public, city officials said. The text was not included in the City Council calendar or the Land Use Committee agenda; the Heights Press obtained a copy as the vote concluded. The resolution would amend “the City Map so as to establish a public place, with a use restriction on the entirety of Rikers Island,” according to the text of the proposal. The use restriction would prevent “incarceration of individuals after December 31, 2026,” the document reads. Council Speaker Corey Johnson said the “land use action shows our commitment to closing all of the jails associated with Rikers.” “Rikers Island is synonymous with mass incarceration, pain and suffering,” Johnson said. “Advocates raised the need for a guarantee, and we agreed with them completely.” “This is not an expansion plan, this is a reduction plan,” said Councilmember Stephen Levin, whose district would be home to the planned Brooklyn jail, at the hearing. By setting a date “codified in zoning law,” Levin said, “Rikers is going to close.” The city’s borough-based jail plan, which was heading to a full vote in the council on October 17, would construct three new facilities near courthouses in Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan, and a fourth on the site of an NYPD tow lot in the Bronx. The plan’s supporters, including de Blasio and various councilmembers, say the proposal is designed to close the outdated, dangerous facilities on Rikers Island — but that intent never made it into the language of the proposal. “Throughout this process, the city’s commitment has always been to permanently shutter the jails on Rikers Island,” said Alacia Lauer, spokesperson for the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice. The map change proposal demonstrates “a clear commitment that legally says Rikers Island will no longer be used to incarcerate any individual,” JustLeadershipUSA spokesperson Brandon Holmes told the Heights Press. “It gives us a clear date for when Rikers will be closed and not just a clear plan for how we will close Rikers,” Holmes added. “Linking those two things together is important.”

The current Brooklyn Detention Center on Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill, which would be razed and replaced by a new jail. Brooklyn Heights Press file photo by Rob Abruzzese JustLeadershipUSA has advocated for closing Rikers, reducing the city’s jail population to 3,000 detainees and opening two new detention centers rather than four. The city’s current plan and the Rikers map change are steps toward that goal, Holmes said. The map change will now enter the city’s Uniform Land Use Review Procedure. The monthslong process, known as ULURP, includes public hearings, a non-binding vote by Queens’ Community Board 1, which has jurisdiction over Rikers Island, and both the Bronx and Queens borough presidents — the latter of which is a position that may soon open up if Melinda Katz wins the November general election for Queens district attorney. Several councilmembers remained on the fence about the plan and refused to state their position ahead of the full Council vote. But at least two uncertain legislators thought the map change is a positive development. “This is an encouraging step in the right direction as these negotiations continue,” said a spokesperson for Councilmember Costa Constantinides, who is a candidate for Queens borough president. Constantinides has proposed turning Rikers Island into a renewable energy center. Councilmember Donovan Richards, another candidate for borough president, said the map change provides “a real chance right here to send a national message that Rikers Island the most notorious jail in the country, is closing.” Nevertheless, the jail plan’s opponents said the proposal to ban jails from Rikers does nothing to divert city funding away from detention centers and toward community services, education and housing in the communities most impacted by mass incarceration. “Basically the city is voting on a jail plan [this month] and not an actual plan to close Rikers, and it’s very confusing and conflicting,” said William Depoo, a spokesperson for Desis Rising Up and Moving, a social justice organization that opposes building new jails. “The map change does not

change our position … We should be thinking why are we investing in building jails and not our communities, schools, truly affordable housing.” A team of organizers with No New Jails, a prison abolition group, said they had not seen the language of the map change proposal. The announcement was “very transparently a PR move” that would not actually address mass incarceration and systemic violence in detention facilities, they added. “Asking New Yorkers to believe that an 11th-hour zoning amendment to close Rikers or end mass incarceration is like asking Americans to trust that a warning label on guns will stop mass shootings,” the group said. (The City Council voted after the Heights Press deadline on Thursday this week on the city's plan to build four new boroughbased jails. Check brooklyneagle.com for the vote's outcome.)

News From Your Neighborhood LAWYER DIES IN ACCIDENT AT BROOKLYN MUSEUM PARTY

The Brooklyn Navy Yard debuted on Tuesday its first new-fromthe-ground-up commercial development in more than a decade. Dock 72, a 16-story office building, has quite the view: the World Trade Center, the Empire State Building, the Williamsburg Bridge and more. Reporters got a bird’s-eye view of the North Brooklyn waterfront and plenty of iconic scenery during a tour on Tuesday, when the $400 million development celebrated its official opening with popping champagne corks and a drum corps performance.

BROOKLYN MUSEUM — A young lawyer died after he fell trying to slide down a banister at the Brooklyn Museum’s First Saturday party last week, according to Gothamist. Kirkland Dawson lost his balance and fell three stories. He was taken to New York Presbyterian Hospital, where he died the next day. Dawson, a law school graduate of Western Michigan University, worked as a parole officer in Michigan before moving to New York to pursue a legal career.  KENSINGTON — A driver struck and killed a 60-year-old woman on Church Avenue near East Fourth Street in Kensington on Saturday, according to the Brooklyn Paper. Olga Feldman and a companion were struck by a black Cadillac SRX traveling west on Church Avenue. The two were rushed to Maimonides Medical Center, where Feldman was pronounced dead. The Brooklyn Paper reported that there have been 13 crashes on Church Avenue between Coney Island and McDonald avenues since 2016. 

ACTIVISTS SEEK TO FIND CHICKENS, SEIZED DURING JEWISH RITUAL, NEW HOMES

BUSHWICK — In a basement of a Bushwick house, about 100 chickens are awaiting transport to new homes after being rescued, according to NY1 News. Alexa Stone and her friend Rocky Schwartz rescued the chickens, which were originally purchased for a custom called Kaporos practiced by Hasidic Jews shortly before Yom Kippur (see Brooklyneagle.com). The chicken is flung in a circle around one’s head three times while a prayer transfers one’s sins to the bird, which is then slaughtered. However, the pair says, baby chickens are abandoned for a variety of reasons throughout the year in Brooklyn. Schwartz has kept a handful of rescued birds over the years. Most get transported to animal sanctuaries, according to NY1. 

SMORGASBURG TO MOVE TO NEW INDOOR SPACE

WILLIAMSBURG — Smorgasburg, the nation’s largest open-air food market, is moving indoors next month, according to the Brooklyn Paper. It will open at 25 Kent Ave. between North 12th and North 13th streets in Williamsburg. Smorgasburg’s outdoor food fairs will run on Saturdays in East River State Park and on Sundays in Prospect Park until the end of October before it moves to the new indoor venue. Last year, Smorgasburg moved for the winter to the Atlantic Center Mall. 

KOSCIUSZKO BRIDGE TRAFFIC STILL PROBLEMATIC

GREENPOINT — Traffic on the new Kosciuszko Bridge is not much better than on the bridge it replaced, according to NY1 News. In particular, drivers heading from Queens to Brooklyn have seen no improvement in traffic speeds in the morning or evening rush hour, according to a study from the transportation firm INRIX. Things are worse for drivers headed in the opposite direction, NY1 News said. Queens-bound travel in the evening rush hour proceeded at an average of 16 miles per hour on the new bridge. 

GROUP BOYCOTTS FLATBUSH BAR AFTER ASSAULTS ON WOMEN

FLATBUSH — An organization named Equality for Flatbush is hoping to get a Flatbush bar called the Zombie House closed after six women were reportedly assaulted there, according to News 12 Brooklyn. The most recent alleged attack took place when a man approached a woman, poured a beer on her, then knocked her to the ground.

ORTIZ BILL TO HELP LGBTQ YOUTH SIGNED INTO LAW

SUNSET PARK — Assemblymember Felix Ortiz (D-Sunset ParkRed Hook) last week saw Gov. Andrew Cuomo sign his bill that requires employees of programs providing care to runaway or homeless youth to attend training on how to deal with LGBTQ youth. LGBTQ youngsters make up to 40 percent of the population in these facilities. Ortiz contends that staff should be trained about how to address homophobia from other youth and how to deal with challenges specific to the LGBTQ community. “Many of these young people have faced difficult family situations due to their sexual orientation and/or gender expression,” Ortiz said. 

VICTORIAN FLATBUSH HOME BEING SOLD FOR $2.25M

MIDWOOD PARK — A single-family home in the Midwood Park area, built in 1908, is being sold for $2.25 million, according to Brownstoner. The home, at 699 E. 18th St. in the Fiske Terrace-Midwood Park Historic District, was built in the Colonial Revival style and has a hipped roof, bay windows and a wrap-around porch. “With seven bedrooms and four bathrooms over three floors plus a cellar, there is no lack of space,” Brownstoner said. The ground floor contains two parlors, a dining room and a kitchen. Details include wooden wall panels, a parquet floor, a working brick fireplace, built-in bookcas-

B’KLYN STD RATES HIT RECORD HIGHS

BOROUGHWIDE — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released its annual report, which reveals that Brooklyn has some of the highest rates of chlamydia, syphilis and gonorrhea in the country, Patch said. The report ranks Kings County sixth among the top 10 U.S. counties where the diseases are most prevalent and said Brooklyn has the most cases of chlamydia in New York State. CDC Director Gail Bolan said that progress in STD prevention has reversed in the U.S., and that “the resurgence of syphilis, and particularly congenital syphilis, is not an arbitrary event, but rather a symptom of a deteriorating public health infrastructure and lack of access to health care.”

Theatre for Kids and Families Opens in Tri-State Park Slope JAG-ONE Physical Therapy Expands Throughout Area

Unique new Mixx Boutique opens in Bay Ridge By John Alexander INBROOKLYN

Play Nice Theatre has begun its season of lighthearted musicals with positive, life-affirming messages about cooperation and kindness. And they’re looking for their July/August cast, musicians, and backstage helpers. Relocated from Manhattan, this all-volunteer company’s rehearsals and meetings refl ect their of mission Photos courtesy JAG-ONE and message by encouraging its mixed-generation cast and crew (ages 6 to 106) to interact socially and share stories of their own lives on and off stage. In a welcoming atmosphere, the experienced and new Play Nice actors and crew are encouraged to come early and linger after assigned rehearsal slots in order to get to know each other, help each other memorize their lines, do school homework and play games. Some may choose to help with scenery painting or prop-making. All ticket sales from main stage shows ($10 admission) is donated to local charities, a prime motivation for many participants who find it rewarding to help raise money for those less fortunate through donating their time and talent. According to theatre founder Rob Lester, the cast and crew are like a second family. “Working on a show with

friendly people is fun and satisfying,” he says. The Brooklyn Eagle stopped by the new location at 89 Fourth Avenue, ﬁve blocks from Barclays Center, where the two-act musical “The Three Little Pigs Buy a Brownstone in Brooklyn” is running on weekends (2 p.m. Saturdays, 3:30 p.m. Sundays, through July 1). The Eagle is mentioned prominently in the Brooklyn-centric script in Scene 6 and the newspaper is used as a prop as well. The show’s target audience is ages six and up, with plenty of humor adults will appreciate. “Two six-year-olds are among the actors, with the oldest member more than ten times their age, and the family idea is reﬂected literally: the cast includes two brothers who play two of the pigs; a mother and her son have a scene together as an older pig

and hedgehog; two actors are cousins,” we’re informed. Original lyrics are set to public domain melodies including old folk songs and classic children’s tunes. The show, which emphasizes “being a good neighbor,” plus patience, perseverance, and pig puns runs through July 1, will be followed by show after show, starting with the summer musical about kids and counselors at an unusual summer camp, titled “Not a Happy Camper.” The theatre welcomes audition appointments, visits, donations of costumes and supplies, and all inquiries throughout the year. Acting classes, puppet shows, concerts, one-day free workshops, variety shows, and special family events are planned and a fundraising concert on July 20.

FIAO celebrates 38th annual Brooklyn Columbus Day Parade By John Alexander INBrooklyn

It was an absolutely spectacular sunny day on Saturday, Oct. 12, with temperatures hovering around 70℉ for the Federation of Italian American Organizations’ 38th annual Brooklyn Columbus Day Parade. The parade, billed as the longest in New York City, started at 61st Street and 18th Avenue in Bensonhurst and ended at Il Centro on Benson Avenue and 18th Avenue. It all began with a pre-parade Mass at 10:15 a.m. at St. Athanasius Roman Catholic Church at Bay Parkway and 61st Street with celebrant Rev. Msgr. David Cassato. The parade kicked off at 1 p.m. with school bands, elected officials, sponsors and proud Italian-Americans marching along the parade route. This year’s grand marshals were Francesco Genuardi, consul general of Italy in New York; Dr. Salvatore Cumella, executive vice president Lenco Diagnostic Laboratory and president and CEO of Cumella Professional Services; Capt. Anthony Longobardi, commanding officer of the 62nd Precinct; Robert Ciulla, principal at Dyker Heights Intermediate School; and Denise Daniello, director of admissions and community liaison at the Bensonhurst Center for Rehabilitation. “We express a deep sense of pride at today’s parade,” said Genuardi. “I think it’s the highest moment of the year to recognize how important contributions of Italians are to America and to the borough of Brooklyn. And I’m personally proud of all the Italian immigrants who came from Italy to Brooklyn, for what they did, what they’re doing and what they will do,” he added. Elected officials marching in the parade included U.S. Rep.Max Rose; State Sen. Andrew Gounardes; Assemblymembers Peter Abbate, Bill Colton and Nicole Malliotakis; and City Councilmember Justin Brannan. Also attending was Father Michael Gelfant of St. Finbar Catholic Church, who offered the benediction, and former City Councilmember Vincent Gentile, who was recently honored by the members of the New York City Council at its Italian Heritage Celebration. Carlo Scissura, president of FIAO, hosted the event from a reviewing stand set up directly across the street from the federation’s Il Centro headquarters. Scissura thanked the 62nd Precinct for helping with the parade security, welcomed guests and said, “Finally, a Columbus Day with no rain,” to which Gentile added, “God must be Italian.” Scissura asked everybody to turn around and face the Il Centro building. “Do you remember when everybody said we would never build an Italian community and cultural center in Brooklyn? Well, you’re looking at it, everybody. We built it, it’s running and people love it,” he added. Participating groups included the Bikes of Brooklyn and the New York City Police Band, which led the parade. Other marchers included parade sponsor Investors Bank, Tottenville High School in Staten Island, the Junior ROTC from Roosevelt High School, BenBay Kiwanis, the order of the Sons of Italy in America, the Knights of Columbus, Italian costumed dancers from St. Athanasius, and the Dyker Heights Intermediate School Marching Band, which performed the Italian national anthem. Frank Naccarato, past president of the Federation of Italian-American Organizations of Brooklyn, said, “It’s a beautiful day, not just for the Italians but for the entire community. We’re very proud of what we have accomplished through the years and we are counting on the community to support us. We’re already looking forward to next year and just having a great day today.” When asked what the parade meant to him, Lenny Aronica, an active member of Il Centro, said, “It means I’m proud to be an Italian-American and it gives me a thrill to see everybody so happy. I come to Il Centro every day and the people here treat me like a king. I’m just very lucky to be here,” he added.

REAL ESTATE

SICILIAN PIZZA SQUARES AWAIT YOU AT L&B SPUMONI GARDENS

Suburban-style houses line the 86th Street block between Shore Road and Narrows Avenue.

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Call it the Pizza Trail. You can walk from the Bay Ridge shoreline to popular L&B Spumoni Gardens in Gravesend on a single road — 86th Street. On this approximately five-mile trek, you’ll see a slice of southern Brooklyn. The street cuts through Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights, then serves as the dividing line between Bensonhurst and Bath Beach and after that heads into Gravesend — to the metal picnic tables outside L&B Spumoni Gardens. The real estate you’ll find along the way is a vivid mix of suburban homes on large lawns, 20th-century rowhouses with garages and porches, fine old apartment buildings and storefronts thronging with customers. The famous pizzeria that’s your ultimate destination has been in business since 1939. It started out as a factory that made spumoni, which is a type of gelato. I’ll give you more details about this dessert when I get to L&B. Before you start your stroll, here’s what you need to know about the pizza at L&B. Neapolitan-style round pies and triangular slices are available. But you’re walking five miles to have a quintessential Brooklyn Experience, so you really should order the pizza squares for which L&B is famous. They’re topped by red sauce, with layers of cheese underneath and big, bread-like crust on the bottom. Veteran food critic Robert Sietsema says this type of pizza with the cheese below the sauce is sometimes called “the upside-down Sicilian style.” By the way, in his June 2019 Eater New York review, he says, “L & B Spumoni Gardens entirely rocks.” It would be a good idea to go there soon, while the weather is still warm enough for you to sit outside. But if you decide you want to eat there when the weather’s cold, fear not. L&B has a glassed-in porch and indoor dining room.

SHORELINE HOUSES If you don’t live in Bay Ridge, you might want to take the NYC Ferry to the neighborhood stop and stroll down Shore Road to get to the spot where 86th Street begins. The ferry service launched in June 2017. The houses on Shore Road are an eyeful in the best possible way. Many are perched on hilly lawns. Eighty-Sixth Street starts at the corner of Shore Road.

Our destination on this walk is L&B Spumoni Gardens (ABOVE) in Gravesend. The pizza draws locals and tourists INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan to L&B Spumoni Gardens. The houses on the first block of 86th Street between Shore Road and Narrows Avenue are big and beautiful, with ample lawns. On the next several blocks after that, the stand-alone houses vary in size from mansions to homes that look rather small on their street-facing sides but stretch way, way into their deep lots, so they’re really big. Everybody’s still got green lawns, though it’s autumn. The day of my walk, the leaves on the trees were still green, which was lovely. In a couple weeks, they’ll change to their fall colors, which will look wonderful too. Two big, old-fashioned houses at 130 86th St. and 132 86th St. looked especially pretty.

TIME FOR A COFFEE BREAK There’s one more quiet residential block — the one between Ridge Boulevard and Third Avenue — before 86th Street becomes a busy retail corridor. On this quiet block, you’ll see barrel-shaped limestone houses that are probably a century old.

— Continued on page 21INB —

UM, DRAG RACING? Since you’re doing this walk in the daytime, these blocks of 86th Street near the shoreline are tranquil and charming. Nighttime is a different story. Drag racing is a problem after dark. Yes. Drag racing. No. I’m not kidding. But the only thing the city Department of Transportation has been willing to do is paint median-strip lines instead of building concrete pedestrian islands, my colleague Meaghan McGoldrick recently reported. Anyway. Since it’s daytime and you can enjoy the scenery without the roar of illegal drag racers, stop for a moment to look at 8524 Ridge Boulevard, which is on the corner of 86th Street. The red-brick mansion stands on a hill with tremendous trees. Certificates of Occupancy in city Buildings Department records suggest that the house was built in 1926 and a renovation was completed just over a decade ago.

This handsome house at 8525 Shore Road stands at the starting point of 86th Street.

This house stands on an 86th Street corner. Its address is 8524 Ridge Boulevard. 20INB Press/Home Reporter/Brooklyn Spectator/Brooklyn Record/Greenpoint Gazette • Week of OctoberGazette 17, 2019• Week of October 17 – October 23, 2019 20INB •• INBROOKLYN INBROOKLYN— —AASpecial SpecialSection SectionofofBrooklyn BrooklynEagle/Heights Daily Eagle/Brooklyn Eagle/Heights Press/Home Reporter/Brooklyn Spectator/Brooklyn Record/Greenpoint

— Continued from page 20INB — There’s all kinds of great stuff on the retail blocks. Most notably, Century 21, the famous department store with discounted designer brands, is at 472 86th St. The salesclerks don’t allow photos to be taken inside the store, so I can’t show you the vintage Louis Vuitton handbags or the racks of beautiful clothes. Since you’re walking five miles, surely you’ll want a cup of coffee at some point. There are a zillion excellent spots to pick one up. I stopped at Mocha Mocha Coffee at 8602 Fourth Ave. on the corner of 86th Street. They make crepes and the pistachio baklava is really good. They serve loose-leaf Turkish tea in a carafe with a tiny hourglass beside it so you’ll know how long to let the tea steep. The busy retail blocks continue until the corner of Gatling Place, where 86th Street passes over the Gowanus Expressway. You can stand on the sidewalk and watch the rivers of traffic flowing on the highway down below.

LOVELY DYKER HEIGHTS HOUSES After you cross busy Seventh Avenue, you’re in Dyker Heights. On the south side of 86th Street between Seventh and 14th avenues, you’ll find Dyker Beach Park, which includes a vast golf course. The north side of the street is lined with houses. Come back another day for a separate stroll around Dyker Heights. You’ve probably come here to see the neighborhood’s famous holiday lights. The suburban-style houses and big lawns are eye-catching in the daylight, without any yuletide decorations. One of the many lovely neighborhood homes you can see without detouring from your walk to Gravesend is at 1265 86th St. It has a pointy-roofed conical turret and a front lawn full of tremendous trees.

BENSONHURST AND BATH BEACH, SIDE BY SIDE When you cross 14th Avenue, you’re in Bensonhurst or Bath Beach, depending on which side of 86th Street you’re walking on.

This row of old-fashioned houses can be found on 86th Street in Bensonhurst. On the north side of 86th Street, which is Bensonhurst, there are some places with a very suburban feel, such as strip-mall-style retail buildings with parking lots and an Outback Steakhouse on the corner of 15th Avenue. Bay Ridge Chevrolet at 1575 86th St. has a Corvette convertible in the front window that you have to look at. It’s a thing of beauty. I say this as someone who is usually indifferent to the charms of automotive design. I don’t even drive anymore. On the south side of 86th Street, which is in Bath Beach, there are a couple blocks of single-story retail buildings with stone facades and tiny turrets that kind of suggest miniature castles. Near 17th Avenue, on the Bensonhurst side of 86th Street, there’s a beautiful row of yellow-brick houses with rectangular window bays. These homes look like they were built a century ago. They’re so pretty. There are excellent restaurants and bakeries in many storefronts between here and L&B Spumoni Gardens. Of course you’ll want to come back and try some of them when pizza’s not foremost in your mind. I managed to stay out of these tempting restaurants. But I did duck into El Tamarindo, a deli at 1729 86th St. that carries foods from Mexico and Guatemala, to buy a tamarind paleta (which is a frozen fruit bar) seasoned with chile powder. Those things are irresistible.

GROCERY SHOPS AND GRAND BANKS Overhead subway tracks appear above 86th Street where it converges with New Utrecht Avenue. This part of the street is very busy on weekends. In addition to the restaurants I just mentioned, there are lots of grocery shops with home furnishings stores and sneakers stores mixed in. On a couple of corner sites, distinguished bank buildings inject a note of grandeur. For instance, a former Dime Savings Bank is at 1901 86th St. on the corner of 19th Avenue. It has columns and looks like a Classical temple. It was built in 1929. It is now a Chase Bank branch. On the corner of 23rd Avenue, there’s a dignified HSBC branch. Its address is 2301 86th St. The handsome stone building has a dome on top of it that’s visible from several blocks away. A Certificate of Occupancy in Buildings Department records says the bank was constructed in 1926.

ABOVE: No lyin’ — it’s a lovely day on 86th Street in Dyker Heights.

Engine Company 253’s firehouse is a city landmark. Buildings Department records also indicate that in the 1990s, this was a branch of Republic National Bank, which HSBC later acquired. An online summary of Republic’s history says that in 1974 it merged with Kings Lafayette Bank, which had 18 Brooklyn branches. I think that’s what this bank must have been. According to a New York Times obituary of a retired chairperson of Kings Lafayette Bank, that institution was created by the 1965 merger of Lafayette National Bank and Kings County Trust Company. I do not know which of these two banks was the original occupant of 2301 86th St. during the first four decades of the building’s existence. Readers, did any of you have a bank account at 2301 86th St., or work in the area, before the 1965 merger? If so, please let me know what the bank was originally called.

INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan

Limestone rowhouses can be found on 86th Street between Ridge Boulevard and Third Avenue. A landmarked home that’s popularly called Lady Moody’s House and was constructed on land she owned is at 27 Gravesend Neck Road. If it’s late and you want to get home, the D train’s 25th Avenue station is just a few blocks away.

GRAVESEND AT LAST Engine Company 253’s firehouse stands at 2425-2427 86th St. The eye-catching brick building was constructed in 1895 and 1896. The Parfitt Brothers, an important architectural firm of that era, designed the Dutch Renaissance Revival firehouse. When you get to the firehouse, you’re in Gravesend, the maps I brought with me indicate. Some of the things I read about Engine Company 253 say it’s in Bensonhurst. I’d spent so much time taking photos and staring into shop windows that daylight was starting to fade at this point on my stroll. So I picked up the pace on the final blocks of my Pizza Trail. I crossed busy Stillwell Avenue and then Avenue U. On the other side of the intersection of West 11th Street, the sign for L&B Spumoni Gardens appeared. The pizzeria’s address is 2725 86th St. Of course I tried the pizza squares. They were delicious. Feel free to argue the merits of thin-crust pizza versus thick-crust pizza amongst yourselves. As far as I’m concerned, pizza isn’t like political parties. You don’t have to pick a side if you don’t want to. Of course I tried the spumoni. You can get pistachio, chocolate and cremolata in a single serving. It was delicious. As I ate, sunset faded into night. The letters “LB” lit up in neon on top of the restaurant. They’re the initials for Ludovico Barbati, who founded the business 80 years ago. If your stroll to this beloved pizzeria only took you a couple hours and you have daylight to spare, when you’re done with dessert you should walk over to Gravesend’s historic blocks where Lady Deborah Moody settled in the 1600s.

ON OCT. 16, 1912, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “Various opinions were expressed today by Brooklyn surgeons and those familiar with the effect of bullet wounds regarding the strength shown by Colonel [Theodore] Roosevelt at Milwaukee after the bullet fired at him lodged in his breast. The surgeons were generally of the opinion that it was almost miraculous that the Colonel should have been able to keep on his feet, proceed with the delivery of an hour-long speech, and pursue his wonted activity for hours. ‘Only a giant could have done it,’ said one of the surgeons interviewed. ‘There are mighty few instances on record of such a thing. The ordinary man would have dropped in his tracks at once, simply from the shock of such a blow. Viewing it from the information given by the newspapers, I believe that Colonel Roosevelt’s actions, under the circumstances, showed him to be a man of tremendous physical strength. That is about the only thing which could account for his activity, wounded as he was.’”  ON OCT. 16, 1946, the Eagle reported, “Nuernberg — Reichsmarshal Hermann Goering succeeded in cheating the gallows of allied justice by committing suicide in his prison cell a short time before the 10 other condemned remnants of the Nazi hierarchy were hanged earlier today. Despite the fact that an American security guard was supposed to be watching his every movement, the Crown Prince of Nazidom managed to place in his mouth, chew and swallow a vial containing cyanide of potassium. The vial of poison was hidden in a copper cartridge shell. Goering swallowed the poison while Col. S. Burton Andrus, American security commandant, was walking across the prison yard to the death block to read him and the 10 other condemned Nazi leaders the International Military Tribunal’s sentence of death … Goering had not previously been told that he was going to die this morning, nor had any of the other condemned men. How he guessed that this was to be his day of doom and how he managed to conceal the poison on his person is a mystery that has confounded the security forces.”  ON OCT. 16, 1949, the Eagle reported, “Hong Kong (U.P.) — The Chinese Communists occupied the heart of Canton yesterday and pushed south today to the British border, a dozen miles from the heart of Hong Kong. The vanguard of the Red army was drawn up across a flimsy barbed wire fence at the border between China and British territory, where 40,000 British troops were at battle stations. British and Gurkha troops waited with tanks, mobile guns, planes and armored cars ready to repel any invaders, whether Nationalist or Communist. Red troops, pursuing fleeing Nationalist soldiers, reached Shumchun, the village where the Canton-Kowloon railway crosses the border. Shumchun is about 15 miles north of Hong Kong. Communist underground agents took over the border village of Shataukok, 13 miles from the heart of Hong Kong. Shataukok is seven miles east of Shumchun, from which Red troops fanned out along the 20-mile border.”  ON OCT. 17, 1962, the Eagle reported, “With $125,000 riding on every pitch, the whiplash right arm of handsome Ralph Terry fired a pulsating 1-0 four-hitter for the deciding victory which gave the New York Yankees their 20th World Series Championship. Beaten four times in series play before he finally snapped his hoodoo by winning the fifth game, the 26-year-old Terry earned the plaudits of 43,948 fans in wind-swept Candlestick Park with a classic clutch performance. For those mighty Yankees gave him only one run to work with, and with $4,000 a man in series gold as well as the glory which goes with it hanging on every fastball and each curling curve, Terry tossed them to victory.”
