Re: “The Best Stores in Brooklyn”
This is such a through listing of the borough but you really neglected to check out and mention anything in Prospect Heights/Crown Heights, where there is so much happening right now. I hope to see this updated soon.

Where's the shared Google calendar with this stuff??
Re: “50 Great Outdoor Events in Brooklyn This Summer”

Re: “50 Great Outdoor Events in Brooklyn This Summer”
Ugh, there's no point in posting about Solange if it's already sold out. *sigh* :( I guess I'll just go stand outside of the park and listen (no point in buying a badge--I get back from vacation literally just in time to run to McCarren)...
Re: “What to Expect When You're Expecting Butt Sex”
Losing my butt-cherry (to a tall, cute crossdresser) did not hurt at all. It's the best sex I've had so far. I can't understand why more pretty boys don't come after my well-maintained booty!
Re: “8 Great Brooklyn Artists Under 30”
Any chance you could highlight '30 great artists under 8'?
Re: “9 Brooklyn Bartenders Talk Booze”
Yeah, who's the third interviewee? Y'all didn't identify who he/she is or where he/she works.

Re: “9 Brooklyn Bartenders Talk Booze”
Given that my signature drink to order happens to be the apparently-dreaded LIIT, I'd wager that the *real* reason these guys and gals revile it is that, put bluntly, half of them wouldn't know how the Dickens to make a proper one. When I ask for one, and either get a weird look (as if I'd just made a lurid proposition), or see her/him reach nervously for some dog-eared notebook, I hold up my hand and switch to a G&T. Really, guys, I'm not here for coolness points - I just want a drink.

Bartender #4 has no name or bar....?
Re: “A Traveler's Nightmare: Couchsurfing in NYC”
i host many couchsurfers and rarely give keys or let people stay while im at work. get real Peter Geoghegan.sometimes i have time off as i am a commercial fisherman and tree cutter so i have the luxury of being able to show my guest the area, but to arrive with the attitude that your article implies, is ridiculous indeed. as a frequent host and an occasional guest i think you sound like someone i would possibly invite to keep on your merry way after the second night. couchsurfing is not a hotel, hostel, resort, or welfare program. pitch in, make conversation, food, bring drinks, ask questions, etcetera.... if you don't like where your at do some typing and find another host. doubt your old lady will be around next time as she has probably realized you are an inadequate planner as well as a whiner and a self entitled kook.
Re: “Ranking the 13 Most Livable Neighborhoods in Brooklyn”
@The Truth: Sorry, kiddo, if you think Manahatta is the living end, you haven't been here long (or perhaps you're just terribly impressionable). As a Manhattan-born expat, the island was happening about two decades ago. Brooklyn stole that thunder a while back, but I cringe at the encroaching Manhattanization going on here.
Re: “Ranking the 13 Most Livable Neighborhoods in Brooklyn”
People, you are Funny and very, very critical! I say love it all and it is a must to work towards making every area of NY a better place, having Brooklyn being one of them! Chill with Love!

Re: “The 50 Best Blocks in Brooklyn”
Changes are happening don't know if it's for the best, but one thing I will always have in my memories is growing up there in the 1950s and 1960s where the neighborhood was like a family. But with these changes it will never be the same.

The person who wrote this is probably some transplant from the Midwest.
Re: “Celebrating 10 Years: The Institutions of New Brooklyn”
