It's perfect if you just want to wander, try a few different bites, and chill for a bit. This is the second time I come to visit for the hot sauce expo. I got lucky with parking right under the train station. It was Sunday, so it was free! Next time I'll definitely give myself even more time to explore, because I want to visit every shop!

'Industry City is a 6-million-square-foot business and innovation hub in Brooklyn's Sunset Park,…read moretransformed from the historic Bush Terminal into a dynamic campus for manufacturing, tech, and creative industries, alongside a popular destination for dining, shopping, and special events.' I have been a huge fan of IC since Morlene, several years ago became Brooklyn Elite CM, highlighted it. Back then IC had a few shops, restaurants and some events. Today, IC has exploded for a variety of reasons. Let's take a closer look shall we? A. Dining/AKA Food Hall When I first started patronizing this huge space, there was Japanese Village, Sunrise Mart, Sahadi's, Colson Patisserie, End's Meat. Now, there is an eclectic variety of the most wonderful eateries. Here are a few Fawn faves: 1. Burger Joint: my newest obsession. The impossible burger is out of this world. Don't let the name fool you; these burgers put the Capital G in gourmet. Is it possible for an impossible burger to be heavenly? Yup! 2. Table 87: put that frozen Table 87 pizza back in the freezer, leave grocery and proceed to Table 87 in IC. The pizza is fresh and the dough is flying..The mushroom slices are out of this world! 3. Japan Village: I still have to dine inside but the California Roll to go is always fresh and delicious. Sunrise Mart inside JV carries the most delicious frozen treats, pocki, earthenware, fresh fish and more! 4 .Sahadi's: Breakfast Saj Sandwich is a Fawn Fave that consists of Eggs, Grilled Halloumi, Harissa Aioli, Greens, Arugula salad.. scrumptious! Brunch served Saturday and Sunday 11-3. 5. Taco Mix: taqueria serving scrumptious tacos, I love the street tacos. B. Shopping: Here's a few Fawn faves: West Elm outlet was the big draw for me when I started patronizing IC. The rugs and home decor have been schlepped from IC to Bay Ridge time and time again! The service is outstanding and WE was so popular it left Building 2 and relocated to s bigger beautiful space. Brooklyn Candle: attended an Elite Event this past winter and the variety of candles and scents are amazing! I purchased the Brooklyn and Maui scented candles and they smell out of this world. Daiso Daiso offers a one-stop-shop experience with over 100,000 products ranging from Japanese-inspired home decor to stationery and food. The offerings are plentiful and the service is very friendly. C. Special Events: IC has a monthly calendar that features a wide range of events to attend. From pub crawls, karaoke, pottery and crafts, you can find a plethora of activities and events to participate. Sahadi's in the past would host mini live concerts in their Al fresco dining area. As you can see, Industry City offers something for everyone! Industry City 220 36th Street Take R to 36th, 5 minute walj

After our tenant of 15 years moved on, we turned to Peter, whose deep knowledge of the local market helped us price and position our newly renovated apartment perfectly. He created professional photos and an excellent video, then marketed them broadly, generating strong interest right away. Peter carefully screened candidates, met them in person, and kept us informed every step of the way. The result: a great tenant, a smooth process, and the confidence that we had a true professional (with great style) in our corner.

I'm finding myself difficult to write this as I know this will blemish the amazing 5 star record…read more But my experience is SOOOOO awful it should not go without telling. James Lola is a horrible individual. And when you recall stories of despicable brokers, he embodies ALLLL of that. This perspective comes from a renter interested in a home James has exclusive rights to. This apartment is located on Hoyt St and I feel terrible for the homeowners he represents. The one major issue was the ability to get into the home. Due to the fact that there were current tenants residing in the space, access was limited. This is very understandable to myself and all. I followed up with James for several days until he responded with an option that worked. Sidebar - I had to do all of the follow up. On my final attempt to confirm a time with James, he responded by asking if my partner is coming. Let's put a few things out there. 1) If you're a New Yorker, We all know how cut throat the real estate industry is. 2) It's preferable by brokers that all parties are in attendance for the viewing, but when it doesn't work due to limited access then it doesn't work. And my partner is a doctor with irregular hours. 3) It's not difficult to know right away if an apartment is a good fit or not. And if it is, a second visit is not unwarranted. Back to the story of James. James responds with "we require all adults who will occupy to view together, at least the first time. We can't rent an apartment to people who haven't seen it, and whom we haven't met." Now, I personally have seen an apartment without my partner. He has done the same. And we do understand this is a preferred option but given the difficulty of being able to get access because of the current tenants, the very limited viewing hours, attempting to see the place for a week, and the fact that my partner also has a hard schedule due to his career, I would have HOPED there would be some flexibility since I could see it on Wed and he could see it on Friday if I felt this would be a great fit. After James response, I decide to immediately call him and have a conversation. And THIS is where sh*t hits the fans!!
