Before Tuesday’s meeting began, both sides clashed on the street in front of the Swingin’ 60s Senior Center, wav- ing banners and shouting at the other side. Inside, the meeting itself remained tense. “This zoning action asks you to approve a no-bid land giveaway … before you have had even the opportunity to consider the other planning options,” said Councilwoman Diana Reyna (D-Bushwick), a former Lopez staffer who has turned against her mentor over the controversial rezoning. “We deserve an open process where all ideas are consid- ered.” Luis Garden Acosta, who says his non-profit El Puente was snubbed when the city shaped the plan, demanded that the board vote down the proposal (though the board vote is only advisory). “You are the guardians of good government,” he said. “If you allow all of these other vested interests to get be- tween you and your office and your mission, then we don’t have a community that can actually drive its own future.” Those arguments seemed to resonate with board mem- bers who expressed concerns about the lack of public hear- ings and the no-bid disposition of land. But supporters of the plan declared that the means jus- tify the ends. “Yes, the process is very important and it should be trans- parent or whatever, but there are hundreds of families — 50 percent of them from CB1 — who will have an oppor- tunity to have a roof [over their heads],” said CB1 member Rabbi David Niederman, who leads the United Jewish Or- ganizations of Williamsburg, one of the non-profits that given dibs to develop the land. “If we say no, what that means is going back to the draw- ing board,” added Niederman, who recused himself from the close vote. “Let’s not come back 25 years from now and still see the blighted area at the Broadway Triangle.” When it came time to vote, the board supported its com- mittee’s earlier caveats, which sought a cap on the amount of affordable housing built off-site, guarantees of a “trans- parent” process to eliminate no-bid contracts, a fund to help relocate affected businesses, and a promise that open space will be created in the area. But the contentious meeting didn’t end with the vote — it continued in the senior center lobby! After the decision, CB1 member Simon Weiser — who re- cused himself from the vote due to his past affiliation with the United Jewish Organizations of Williamsburg — and Broad- way Triangle opponent Roberto Solano exchanged heated words until they were separated by concerned onlookers. The Broadway Triangle plan will go before the borough president, the City Planning Commission, and finally the City Council — where the city’s proposal has a foe in Reyna, but a friend in Councilman David Yassky (D-Brooklyn Heights), in whose district the triangle sits.

EJBSZ The rum was bad and the people were godless. But who cares what Jasper Danckaerts thought of early Brooklyn — the would-be Dutch de Tocqueville only spent seven days in our still- farmland borough in 1679 (pictured). Danckaerts’s entire diary of his expedition to find a place for his re- ligious sect is on display at the Brooklyn Histor- ical Society — but the parts about Brooklyn are, obviously, the most interesting. The place was a freakin’ Garden of Eden! “It is impossible to tell how many peach trees we passed, all laden with fruit,” he wrote. “You could not put your foot down without trampling [it].” Still, he had choice words for the local hootch — and the non-believers who (718) 260-2500 July 17, 2009 made it. The Breukelen Paper’s essential guide to our ancestral home Danckaerts did not end up staying in Brook- lyn, choosing Maryland as a home for the La- badists (good riddance). But he did leave a great treasure trove of facts about early America. “It’s basically a travel journal and a lot of peo- ple can relate to the experiences he encounters,” said Kate Fermoile, vice president for exhibits and education at the Historical Society. “The Breukelen Adventures of Jasper Danckaerts” at the Brooklyn Historical Society [128 Pierrepont St. at Clinton Street in Brook- "NTUFS%"./ lyn Heights, (718) 222-4111]. — Shannon Geis We’re high on this sin-sational city for a weekend 4)011*/( By Our Amsterdam Bureau The Brooklyn Paper .BSLFU

EPOF How to paint the town in Amsterdam

By Mike McLaughlin The Brooklyn Paper

MSTERDAM, THE NETHER‡ LANDS — Rustic Breukelen is " an ideal destination for a relaxing holiday, but the art museums of Am- sterdam are a worthy daytrip from the tranquil small town south of the vice- ridden metropolis. Already vaunted for its institutions dedicated to the masters from the Dutch Golden Age, like Rembrandt, and more modern paint-spatterers like Vincent Van Gogh, the city recently opened a new outpost of the Hermitage Museum to great fanfare. The museum draws its collection of Russian art and history from the orig- inal Hermitage in St. Petersburg, and its opening exhibit — “At the Russian Court” — is a fine retrospective of hun- dreds of years of the Romanov dynasty told through portraits, wardrobe and 6ˆ˜Vi˜ÌÊÛ>˜ÊœÌœ>“ÃÌiÀ`>“\ Like this classic Van Gogh self-portrait? other possessions used in daily life ar- Get to Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum. rayed in a gigantic restored 300-year- 278 FIFTH AVENUE, BROOKLYN old home for the elderly. seemingly endless renovation has put mon with the Dutch masters from two 718.369.9527 It’s also pretty dull. much of the museum off-limits and the centuries before him than just nation- On an overseas trip with limited full riches of its collection out of sight. ality.
