The Best of Brooklyn

The Atlantic Yards fight has scored a few spots in the Brooklyn Downtown Star's The Best of Brooklyn.

Best Place to Hear Free Music and Meet a Protester: Freddy's Bar
6th Ave & Dean Street
Prospect Heights

Most Annoying Place to Try and Park a Car: Tie: Park Slope* at Night, DoBro Daytime
* Don't worry, Bruce Ratner says attendees of arena events will take mass transit.

Most Daring and Visible Solo Protest While Reporters and Developers Hobnob At Buffet: Patti Hagan, Across Atlantic Avenue From the 3rd Floor of the Atlantic Mall During Forest City Ratner's Unveiling of New Designs for the Atlantic Yards Project
Prospect Heights

Biggest Power Couple:
Senator Chuck Schumer**
DOT Commissioner Iris Weinshall
Park Slope
** Schumer is a big booster of Atlantic Yards, but what do you expect from the senator who "reeled in $1.8 million from the real estate industry during his first term" (see NY Sun, 05/18/06).
