The Waterloo Bridge Theatre Company’s recently
acquired performance space in Park Slope is smaller than many
people’s living rooms. The stage has only a few overhead lights
and does not have a curtain. Yet it is in this tiny theater that
some of the liveliest and most innovative Shakespeare you have
ever seen is being performed.

The gift shop in the Salt Lake City airport
is called West of Brooklyn. Did the owner know that there would
be so many Brooklyn-based filmmakers attending this year’s Sundance
Film Festival, down the road in Park City?

Some restaurants open like Athena popping
forth from Zeus’ head - fully formed and ready for battle. Others,
like Grand Central, a restaurant and bar in Williamsburg, take
longer to evolve.

Instead of parking yourself in front of
your TV on Superbowl Sunday with a slice of mediocre pizza and
a beer, why not go to 200 Fifth in Park Slope where you can park
yourself in front of 10 TVs and enjoy an all-night open bar,
the camaraderie of your fellow Brooklynites and an all-you-can-eat
buffet for $40?
