Celebrate Passover With Atlantic Yards Themed Haggadah!
Gothamist
Sure, Gothamist is just linking back to us, but we've got to keep up with those other guys. Besides, it's a funny post.
Forget being cast out of Egypt; this year Jews all over Brooklyn can sympathize with the families being evicted from the Atlantic Yards and have a topical Seder with this Atlantic Yards themed haggadah!
The youngest at the table can ask such questions as, "Why is it that in all other projects, the developer dips only into his own budget, but in the Atlantic Yards project the developer dips twice—$100 million from the state's budget and $100 million from the city's budget?"
Then once the kids find the afikoman, everyone can sing "Had Bruce Ratner only given us the Atlantic Center Mall— Dayeinu! It would have been enough!"

Curbed, Next Year at Atlantic Yards: While everyone else has been busy…
While everyone else has been busy trying to eat as much bread as possible before sundown, one Atlantic Yards obsessive decided to create an Atlantic Yards-themed Passover haggadah. There are four new questions, such as: "Why is it that Brownstone Brooklyn consists of unleavened low-rise buildings, but at Atlantic Yards Bruce Ratner wants to building seventeen high-rise buildings?"
