Five members of an alleged Brooklyn biker gang face charges of attempted murder and assault following a frenzied East Flatbush gun battle last spring, the Brooklyn District Attorney said Thursday. The bikers turned a residential street "into chaos," Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez said in a statement, "sending bystanders running for their lives."

London's Brooklyn Rep is putting their money where their mouths are with a performance in the real Brooklyn. The company will present a one-night-only benefit reading of Jesse Morgan Young and Matthew Sherbach's The Leads (FKA Glengarry Glen Faggot) November 16 at Life World in Bushwick. Described as "a queer disassembly of a very straight, critically acclaimed play," the work follows the performance of a very masc play that gets co-opted by its unseen characters with off-script ideas.
They filled the dance floor in front of a DJ playing remixes of Bad Bunny's "Nueva Yol," classic New York hip hop like 50 Cent's "Many Men" and Afrobeats. Here at Brooklyn's Paramount Theater, these were the voters who helped power New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's victory. Younger. Racially diverse. And enthusiastic for a new generation of leadership in America's largest city.
The island, which is connected to the mainland only by ferry, was a big change - both geographically and culturally - from Wexler-Waite's hometown of New York and the Democratic campaigns he worked on in his post-college years. Nevertheless, the seasonal nature of politics left him to explore other interests - including pizza. Now, he's turned that into a full-time gig and returned home to open a Brooklyn branch.

Published in the fall of 2025, RentCafe's analysis found that nationwide, the average renter holds onto their lease for 28 months (two years and change). The region where renters stay put the longest is the Northeastern U.S., where the average time someone stays in their rental is 36 months (three years). But that average is significantly higher in one place: Brooklyn, N.Y. The New York City borough has renters staying in their homes for an average of 49 months (just over four years).
A Brooklyn judge handing out cushy positions to connected lawyers proves that corruption is still alive and well in the city court system, despite reforms put in place in the early aughts.

Akaberi, in part, got people talking about him, because of his stunt a decade ago, in which he wore his outlandish get-up to Brooklyn court. It included a "shirt" fashioned from newsprint pages covered in the holy Hebrew writings of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson - and a hat made from a print-out of the original seven commandments given to Noah. Akaberi wore the peculiar outfit as apparent retaliation because he was banned from reading Talmudic quotations at a pre-trial hearing.
