Beetlemania ends!

Invasive Asian longhorned beetle banished from city

By Scott Enman Greenpoint Gazette

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. continued on page 3

More than 200 people temporarily shut down Greenpoint streets on Sunday for the 26th annual Get to the Point 5K race, which turns a friendly competition into a party for the community.

What started as a unique way to raise funds for St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Academy back in 1992 ended up a neighborhood tradition that rivals competitive races held by professional running clubs around the city.

“I like to think that here, a group of families, parents, volunteers can come together and I think we put a pretty good show on,” said Frank Carbone, director and co-founder of the race.

This year’s competition brought 224 runners down Driggs Avenue through McCarren Park, over to Kent Street and back across Manhattan Avenue before finishing at Humboldt Street and Driggs.

Sammy Gotts, 27, finished in first at 16 minutes and 43 seconds. Marie Barnett, 32, took home the trophy for the fastest female time, at 18 minutes and 14 seconds.

But while most events put the attention on the 5K, the St. Stan’s crew wanted about 85 children who participated in pre-race dashes to be the highlight of the show.

“Yes, the numbers are bigger on the 5K, but we want to feature the children because they’re the future runners,” Carbone said. “At some level, we want to inspire the kids to go on to bigger and better.”

Nine-year-old Anthony Puk helped fulfill that vision, participating in not only the 50yard dash, but his first 5K run. The bystanders on the sidelines cheering him on helped lead him to the finish line, he said.

Beetlemania ends! Invasive Asian longhorned beetle banished from city

Officials planted a tree in McCarren Park in honor of the end of the Asian longhorned beetle scourge in New York City. continued from page 1

“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.”

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.”

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.”

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 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.”

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.

Gourmet grocery store Brooklyn Harvest Market coming to site of old Williamsburg White Castle

By Ned Berke

Greenpoint Gazette

East Williamsburg is getting a gourmet grocery store where drunk men with beards once greased their stomachs with tiny, spongy meat circles debatably categorized as “hamburgers.”

Brooklyn Harvest Market — a high-end supermarket with three other locations — is coming to 781 Metropolitan Ave., the site of the old Williamsburg White Castle, dealmakers announced Thursday.

“This new East Williamsburg location is perfectly situated to meet the needs of the constantly changing neighborhood,” said Garry Steinberg, executive managing director of Lee & Associates NYC, who represented the chain in the sale.

The new location joins Brooklyn Harvest Market’s other locations in such “constantly changing” neighborhoods as Williamsburg, North Williamsburg and north-ofNorth Williamsburg (otherwise known as Astoria).

The 10,000-square-foot space will have a butcher, seafood counters and madein-Brooklyn specialty foods.

The White Castle shut down in 2014, having been open since 1992. The property was purchased in 2015 by a company called Adam America for $23 million, though it had changed hands in 2013 for $6.7 million.

Despite rumors that a luxury high-rise would be built on the lot, only 65 of the 81 units in the eightstory building are luxury units — the remaining 16 are affordable housing.

Brooklyn Harvest Market is expected to open in mid2020 with a 20-year lease.

White Castle fans, meanwhile, will go on missing the two-and-a-half star experience of the Metropolitan Avenue location, forever memorialized

by Yelp reviews like this one from Monique R.: The location feels a little seedy, especially with bullet proof glass windows and restooms [sic] that require buzzing in and out from staff.

The staff hate their jobs. But i would too if i worked there.

To enjoy a meal here, you need to be plastered. Then, and only then will you enjoy it… only to remember when you are gripping the sides of your procelain [sic] bowl, that you should never ever eat there again.

But you always manage to get wasted and end up here. Its [sic] a vicious cycle.

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. For the full story, visit brooklyneagle.com.

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. 

ADAMS, AT CROWN HEIGHTS VIGIL, DECRIES VIOLENCE

CROWN HEIGHTS — Borough President Eric Adams on Monday was one of several local leaders who spoke after a vigil to mourn the four victims of a shooting at an illegal gambling club on Utica Avenue in Crown Heights, according to CBSNewYork.

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. 

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.

See southern Brooklyn on a stroll down 86th Street

Eye on

— 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.

REAL ESTATE

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.”
