Nab Hook’s last feral dog

Carroll Gardens: The last feral dog along the changing Red Hook waterfront has been caught, signaling the end of wild times on Ikea’s new home turf. Comment.

Crossing the Hudson

Carroll Gardens: Detectives got to take a field trip last week — and this collar was certainly worth the gas money. Comment.

Carroll Gardens: It’s the beginning of the end: A slice of pizza has hit $2.30 in Carroll Gardens — and the shop’s owner says it’s “just a matter of time” before a perfect storm of soaring cheese prices and higher fuel costs hit Brooklyn with the ultimate insult: the $3 slice. Comment.

Chuck Schumer ate his way into the fight to save the Red Hook food vendors, grabbing some delicacies last Saturday and saying the city should abandon a plan to sell the group’s vending permits on the open market — a scheme that many believe will lead to higher permit fees for the mom and pop vendors and competition from deep-pocketed corporations. Comment.
