You can either stop at Lorimer Street and take the G line (light green color), or stop at Bedford Avenue and walk North. It’s quite a pleasant walk and Williamsburg is an amazing neighborhood to. Head North and follow the map on the previous slide to #UnCover Greepoint. WUHU! Northern Territory: Rooftop Bar and Restaurant (#1) Named after Australia’s north-central federal territory, known for its Outback desert landscapes, Northern Territory (@northernterritorybk) is a super hype Australian rooftop and restaurant, with an incredible view of Manhattan’s skyline! The place was founded by Jamie Toll, a native Aussie, and it quickly became one of our favorite spots! We love going there, especially during the Spring/Summer season! Their food menu is pretty great and they have a curated selection of Aussie beer and some signature cocktail drinks! Don't forget to make a reservation for the rooftop area. It gets pretty crowded and finding a table becomes an impossible task. The staff, as in most parts of Brooklyn, are super friendly, but they’ll be able to do just so much for you during the busy hours…! It’s a great place not only for brunch, but for dinner and drinks! Hours: Happy Hours: ‘till 7pm Monday – Friday: 4pm - close Saturday & Sunday: 11am - close Location: 12 Franklin Street (b/w North 15th and Maserole Avenue) www.northernterritorybk.com Photo Credit: Courtesy of Northern Territory Acme Smoked Fish: Traditional Seafood Market (#2) If you don't live in NY, this might not be as appealing to you. But if you're one of those lucky people that lives in this gooooooorgeous city, then Acme Smoked Fish (@acmesmokedfish) is a low key place to shop for fresh seafood. To start, they are family owned and operated for four generations, since their launch in 1954. The location? Well ... Williamsburg used to be one of the sketchiest neighborhoods in Brooklyn and its waterfront was an industrial zone with huge warehouses, factories and home to some of the busiest loading docks in New York. Gentrification, which started in the 1990s, completely changed the neighborhood. Restaurants, bars, and local retailers started spreading throughout the streets. And, z with that, Williamsburg began attracting more people to it. What to expect going there? Deliciously-fresh smoked salmon, salads, specialty smoked fish, sturgeon, white fish, herring and so much more! Hours: *Note* They are only open to the public Friday mornings from 8am - 1pm, and they are cash only….but, you can expect reduced wholesale priced items! Location: 30 Gem Street (b/w North 15th and Maserole Avenue) http://acmesmokedfish.com Photo Credit: Credit of Acme Smoked Fish Greenpoint Galleries: Art & Culture (#9) The neighborhood is filled with exceptional galleries, some amazing artists, and cool exhibition spaces. Many are walking distance from each other, so it’s a good idea to just take time and visit them all! We decided to focus on 4 galleries that are within 2-3 blocks from each other to make it easier! (We will launch a guide listing all the galleries in the near future!) You can start off by visiting these: Gallery AWA (@galleryawa) “showcase socially relevant art from the under- represented parts of the world.” Their idea is to bring a little bit more of the world to New York City, which is pretty cool, right? Besides being a gallery, they also organize very interesting events with talks, z discussion on themes that are socially relevant, a few lectures and even a space to showcase world cinema! Hours: Monday: Closed Tuesday - Sunday: By appointment only, so be sure to call contact them: +1 (917) 460-6920, [email protected]. Location: 61 Greenpoint Avenue #306, Buzzer at entrance: 934 (b/w West and Franklin) www.galleryawa.com Photo Credit: Courtesy of Gallery Awa Greenpoint Galleries: Art & Culture (continuation) (#4 & #8) Owen James Gallery (@owenjamesgallery) “is a contemporary art gallery focusing on emerging and mid-career artists from an international perspective.

Be sure to check out their event schedule with lectures, publications and film screenings. Hours: Wednesday – Sunday: 11am – 6pm or by appointment contacting Owen Houhoulis at +1 (718)-395-4874, [email protected]. Location: 61 Greenpoint Avenue #315 (b/w West and Franklin) z www.owenjamesgallery.com ———— x ———— The Greenpoint Terminal Gallery (@greenpointterminalgallery) was founded by Brian Willmont and is “an artist run space located in the historic former American Manufacturing Corporation rope factory, on the Brooklyn waterfront.” Be sure to check with upcoming events before your visit!

The gallery is a “small exhibition space tucked away on the second floor of the historic Greenpoint Terminal Warehouse. Its mission is to present emerging, mid- career, and non-career artists in a venue that offers ‘white cube’ presentation with a DIY approach. With just over 300 sq/ft, Calico focuses on inventive exhibits that allow artists to explore concepts and refine ideas.” Hours: z Fridays & Saturdays: 12pm - 5pm, or by appointment through +1 (347) 450-3639, [email protected]. Location: 67 West Street #203 (b/w Noble and Milton) www.calicobrooklyn.com Photo Credit: Courtesy of Greenpoint Terminal Gallery Brooklyn Barge: Restaurant, Bar and Manhattan’s Skyline (#5) With one of the most astounding views of Manhattan’s skyline, The Brooklyn Barge (@thebrooklynbarge), is one of our favorite go-to spots. The place is totally off-the-beaten- track, just like we looove. Getting their (at night) looks a bit sketchy since you need to walk through a long, dark alley, with huge warehouses on both sides and old abandoned cars. We even found an abandoned yellow cab that reminded us of the movie "The Bone Collector". Funny ... The place is quite big, with huge communal wooden tables that accommodate big parties. Drinks are served on a floating deck that looks like a boat. If you pay attention, you can slightly feel the rocking of the platform on the water.

  • Newtown Creek Project Packet
    NEWTOWN CREEK PROJECT PACKET Name: ________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTORY READING: Encyclopedia. “Newtown Creek.” The Encyclopedia of New York City. 2nd ed. 2010. Print. Adaptation Newtown Creek is a tributary of the East River. It extends inland for a distance of 3.5 miles, including a number of canals into Brooklyn, and it is the boundary between Brooklyn and Queens. The creek was the route by which European colonists first reached Maspeth in 1642. During the American Revolution the British spent the winter near the creek. Commercial vessels and small boats sailed the creek in the early nineteenth century. About 1860 the first oil and coal oil refineries opened along the banks and began dumping sludge and acids into the water; sewers were built to accommodate the growing neighborhoods of Williamsburg and Greenpoint and discharged their wastes directly into the creek, which by 1900 was known for pollution and foul odors. The water corroded the paint on the undersides of ships, and noxious deposits were left on the banks by the tides. High-level bridges were built from 1903 (some remain). State and city commissions sought unsuccessfully to improve the creek as it became of the busiest commercial waterways in the country, second only to the Mississippi River. The creek was dredged constantly and widened by the federal government to accommodate marine traffic; the creek’s natural depth was between 4 and 12 feet. After World War II the creek’s importance as a shipping route decreased, but it continued to be the site of many industrial plants. During the 1940s and 1950s, leaks at oil refineries including ExxonMobil and ChevronTexaco precipitated one of the largest underground oil spills in history.

In fact, the opposite is true, according to Elvis Duran, radio’s most listened-to top 40 morning man, in an exclusive interview with Inside Radio. “It makes us radio hosts more important than ever,” says the “Z100” WHTZ, New York-based Duran of the syndicated “Elvis Duran and the Morning Show.” “Even though we have a whole world of music at our fingertips, having a human connect you to the music is still very important. We are the people who add the human connectivity to music and musicians.” Duran also extols digital platforms in the discussion, praising them for giving personalities more ways to connect with the audience. Snapchat is a favorite among his show’s cast members. “It really is as close to the radio experience as you can get with any social media right now,” he says. “It is personable and it is of the moment; it is on and then 24 hours later it is gone. There is a sense of urgency to it.” Duran, who will be inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame Nov. 5, explains how he and his cohosts work product mentions into the show so seamlessly. “A lot of times, we go to the sales department and say, ‘I have found myself using this product more and more.

  • When Being No. 1 Is Not Enough
    A Report Prepared by the Civil Rights Forum on Communications Policy When Being No. 1 Is Not Enough: The Impact of Advertising Practices On Minority- Owned & Minority-Formatted Broadcast Stations Kofi Asiedu Ofori Principal Investigator submitted to the Office of Communications Business Opportunities Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. All Rights Reserved to the Civil Rights Forum on Communications Policy a project of the Tides Center Synopsis As part of its mandate to identify and eliminate market entry barriers for small businesses under Section 257 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the Federal Communications Commission chartered this study to investigate practices in the advertising industry that pose potential barriers to competition in the broadcast marketplace. The study focuses on practices called "no Urban/Spanish dictates" (i.e. the practice of not advertising on stations that target programming to ethnic/racial minorities) and "minority discounts" (i.e. the practice of paying minority- formatted radio stations less than what is paid to general market stations with comparable audience size). The study consists of a qualitative and a quantitative analysis of these practices. Based upon comparisons of nationwide data, the study indicates that stations that target programming to minority listeners are unable to earn as much revenue per listener as stations that air general market programming. The quantitative analysis also suggests that minority-owned radio stations earn less revenues per listener than majority broadcasters that own a comparable number of stations nationwide. These disparities in advertising performance may be attributed to a variety of factors including economic efficiencies derived from common ownership, assessments of listener income and spending patterns, or ethnic/racial stereotypes that influence the media buying process.

This report measures the state of parks in Brooklyn. There are many different kinds of parks — active, passive, and pocket — and this report focuses on active parks that have a mix of amenities and uses. It is important for Brooklynites to have a pleasant park in their neighborhood to enjoy open space, meet their neighbors, play, and relax. While park equity is integral to creating One Brooklyn — a place where all residents can enjoy outdoor recreation and relaxation — fulfilling the vision of community parks first depends on measuring our current state of parks. This report will be used as a tool to guide my parks capital allocations and recommendations to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), as well as to identify recommendations to improve advocacy for parks at the community and grassroots level in order to improve neighborhoods across the borough.

  • Hipster Black Metal?
    Hipster Black Metal? Deafheaven’s Sunbather and the Evolution of an (Un) popular Genre Paola Ferrero A couple of months ago a guy walks into a bar in Brooklyn and strikes up a conversation with the bartenders about heavy metal. The guy happens to mention that Deafheaven, an up-and-coming American black metal (BM) band, is going to perform at Saint Vitus, the local metal concert venue, in a couple of weeks. The bartenders immediately become confrontational, denying Deafheaven the BM ‘label of authenticity’: the band, according to them, plays ‘hipster metal’ and their singer, George Clarke, clearly sports a hipster hairstyle. Good thing they probably did not know who they were talking to: the ‘guy’ in our story is, in fact, Jonah Bayer, a contributor to Noisey, the music magazine of Vice, considered to be one of the bastions of hipster online culture. The product of that conversation, a piece entitled ‘Why are black metal fans such elitist assholes?’ was almost certainly intended as a humorous nod to the ongoing debate, generated mainly by music webzines and their readers, over Deafheaven’s inclusion in the BM canon. The article features a promo picture of the band, two young, clean- shaven guys, wearing indistinct clothing, with short haircuts and mild, neutral facial expressions, their faces made to look like they were ironically wearing black and white make up, the typical ‘corpse-paint’ of traditional, early BM. It certainly did not help that Bayer also included a picture of Inquisition, a historical BM band from Colombia formed in the early 1990s, and ridiculed their corpse-paint and black cloaks attire with the following caption: ‘Here’s what you’re defending, black metal purists.
