Brooklyn Love and Preservation Stuff

Andrew J Lederer mourns the loss of Roll-n-Roaster, but puts it into perspective:

Roll-n-Roaster is charming and has good food but it will not be a tragedy of the highest order to see it go.

I would gladly have traded it for the protection of that mid-19th century dry dock in Red Hook that's to be supplanted by an Ikea.

And let's scale back that Ratner/Gehry project in Prospect Heights.

And develop Coney Island in way that respects its glorious history.

For those things, I can give up a Roll-n-Roaster san-a-wich.
