Underground Signs is your stop for custom and replica New York City subway signs officially licensed by the MTA. We aim to bring NYC urban design to your home or office and share as a gift for friends and family. Our team resides in Prospect Heights, with production offices at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, so we proudly are a local start-up hoping to reach fans of New York City subways, Helvetica fandom, and transit experiences.

Bored To Death is shooting this Tuesday (4/20, cough) in Prospect Hights/Park Slope. This was posted on Bergen St between 5th & 6th Ave in Brooklyn:
People who park here don’t necessarily live on this block & won’t see these signs. They will believe they are legally parked until 7:30am on Tues. If you care as you say you do about inconveniencing the neighborhood you wouldn’t wait until 3 days prior to put up signs. A minimum of one week so people would see it when they parked would be considerate.The people of Brooklyn have an opinion about things.

I don’t want to brag, but I’m pretty sure that I helped bump up the rank by moving here.
Hey. I’ll still be in NY from Thursday-Sunday this week.
If you want to hang out with me, friends&tumblrs&non-creeps, you can come to Soda Bar in Prospect Heights after 10 on Friday. If that’s not good enough for you, you can try emailing me (mollsshewroteATgmail), but I’m thinking Friday’s our night.
See ya, hopefully.
Oh Vandy, you’ve done it again. If it wasn’t awesome enough to walk into my neighborhood restaurant and see this guy behind the bar, the polenta with braised escargot and fried quail egg really sealed the deal.
Not to be overshadowed by snails, the crispy pork belly and lentils du puy were a bit of melt-in-your mouth perfection.
The blurb says David’s is in Bed-Stuy, but we know this joint is in the heart of Crown Heights. Nice!
In the heart of Caribbean Bed-Stuy exists a Jewish deli serving lusciously fatty, fall-apart brisket cooked daily and cut into plump slices, then piled between rye. Don’t forget the gravy. 533 Nostrand Ave between Atlantic Ave and Herkimer St, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn (718-789-1155). $5. Read more here.

Do you know your local history? Did you know that Weeksville was one of the first African-American neighborhoods in the five boroughs, established just 11 years after slavery was abolished in New York state? Check this amazing video that reviews the roots of this community.
