Come check out over 45 makers, artists, and small businesses this Saturday at the launch of FAD Market on Montague!

FAD Market is thrilled to return to Brooklyn Heights after many successful markets at the former Brooklyn Historical Society-now Center for Brooklyn History. You'll enjoy two blocks (from Clinton to Hicks Street) of hand-crafted jewelry and apparel, bath and body care, tableware, home furnishings, and artisanal packaged food.

In addition, be sure to visit our many wonderful brick and mortar stores, especially Books are Magic who will be hosting their second annual Pride Fest with readings, activities, and panels for all ages. In the morning, listen to a story-time event and grab some giveaways from the Brooklyn Book Bodega and the Lesbian Herstory Archives. In the afternoon, join in for a game show with booksellers and book writers and an engaging discussions about queer books with YA and adult authors.  Read all the details, including how to buy tickets for some events, on their website

This will be a busy day, so please remember to move your cars by 10am so that the vendors can set up and we can accommodate everyone who wants to enjoy this special day!

Did you know that each helicopter produces 950 pounds of carbon dioxide per hour?

As we have seen this week, climate change is here, and impacts all of us. It's more important than ever to support efforts to ban nonessential helicopter traffic over New York City. 

We are grateful to our elected officials, led by Representatives Jerry Nadler and Dan Goldman, for their recent powerful letter sent to Governor Hochul and Mayor Adams, demanding an end to the nonessential helicopter traffic from the NYC-based heliports. We thank Congresssmembers Nydia Velazquez, Adriano Espaillat, Yvette Clark, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, and Jamaal Bowman for signing this letter as well.

Stop the Chop has been working tirelessly to advocate for these changes and to continue to drive awareness of the detrimental effects of non-essential helicopters on all of our lives. They are looking for volunteers to help them flyer this month.  Please  sign up if you can help or if you would like to organize a second event in Brooklyn!
