[VIDEO] We Do Things the Old Way

The video highlights Brennan & Carr, a beloved, long-standing American restaurant in Brooklyn, known for its iconic roast beef sandwich. Owner Eddie Sullivan emphasizes their commitment to traditional methods, from butchering prime top round beef in-house daily with José Lopez to slow-roasting it and preparing their famous "broth" from the meat's natural juices. The restaurant also prides itself on cleanliness, fresh ingredients—including daily fresh rolls from Bread Plus in Midwood—and genuine hospitality, with staff like head server Richie (Chi Chi) Egan fostering a family-like atmosphere. Customers enjoy various dipping styles for their sandwiches, from a light "dingle dangle" to a fully soaked "K.F.J."

[VIDEO] Flatbush Avenue Redesign - Everything You Need to Know

This video details the extensive redesign of Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, a major thoroughfare with nearly 400 years of history that serves over 130,000 daily bus riders. The project, expected to be completed by Fall 2026, aims to address decades of traffic congestion and slow bus speeds (averaging 6.8 mph, under 4 mph during peak hours) by implementing center-running bus lanes with physical concrete boarding islands. The redesign from Livingston Street to Grand Army Plaza will also include 29,000 square feet of new pedestrian space, 11 dedicated loading zones for businesses, and 14 new bike parking areas. The video outlines the four construction phases and highlights driver concerns about reduced lanes and potential traffic backups, particularly given Flatbush Avenue's direct connection to the Manhattan Bridge. Additionally, the city is undertaking a separate proposal to transform Grand Army Plaza from a confusing and dangerous traffic circle into a wide, open pedestrian plaza, directly connecting the iconic Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch to Prospect Park. The MTA's official website provides additional information on transit services, while Grand Army Plaza is managed by NYC Parks.
