Our Clean Team got a refresh, check out the new uniforms in our signature blue 🧢. The Clean Team helps us care for our district on Atlantic Avenue and on our charming side streets. FYI, our BID boundaries are from the waterfront to Fourth Avenue and a block north to State Street and south to Pacific Street. For a small team we cover a lot of ground!
The team does it all: servicing tree pits, sidewalks, building exteriors (via graffiti removal), storm drains and more. Did you know our clean team picks up nearly 60,000 pounds of trash monthly? Huge shoutout to our incredible Clean Team for their hard work seven days a week. Make sure to say hello and thank you when you see them 👋😁.

Today we celebrate Juneteenth! Did you know that our district is proximate to so many important sites from the abolitionist movement?
♦️The Plymouth Church of the Pilgrims, entry is at 75 Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights, was built in 1849. It served as a prominent location for antislavery sentiment and was led by minister, Henry Ward Beecher (brother of Harriet Beecher Stowe).
♦️Though Old Bridge Street Church at 311 Bridge Street in Downtown Brooklyn is now NYU’s Wunsch Hall, it was also where the first Black Christian congregation in Brooklyn met. The African Wesleyan Methodist Episcopal Church bought the Bridge Street building in 1854. The church also provided sanctuary before and during the Civil War and during the Draft Riots of 1863.
♦️The Friends Meeting House at 110 Schermerhorn Street in Downtown Brooklyn was constructed by the Quakers. The Society of Friends (the Quakers) were significant advocates in the anti-slavery movement in Brooklyn.
In observance of the holiday, the BID office is closed today and we will reopen on Monday, June 22nd. 🖤

We recently wrapped this season of our popular Arab and Muslim American walking tours 👏. We launched these specialized tours last spring and the response has continued to be overwhelmingly positive. Here’s just a brief snapshot of the tour 📸.
We are glad to have been able to bring this program together and share it with the community thanks to the generous funding from @cmrestler.
These tours emphasize the long history and deep roots of the Arab and Muslim American community throughout the district and on Atlantic Avenue, starting from the late 19th century and is present to this day❤️.
Thank you to @asadfromnyc for leading the tours and making the experience an enriching one!

In the lush backyard of @sottocasaboerumhill , we chat with Mariarosa, Mari for short. The concept for Sottocasa began with Luca Arrigoni with the support of Antonio Capone, but it was not long before Mari joined the team as co-owner and manager, and the restaurant opened in Brooklyn in 2011.🍕
Mari first came to the USA to visit a close friend in Buffalo, but after visiting New York City, fell in love with the energy and the notion of reinventing herself here. “I said, I’ll go back to Italy and I’ll sell everything I have. I’ll grab Zorba, who’s my cat, and I’ll come to New York. Everyone was like ‘You’re crazy! You don’t speak any English! You don’t have a job!’” Things worked out: Mari has now been a New Yorker for 16 years, and still has Zorba.
Mari is partial to the Neapolitan style pizza, but has come to love New York style pizza. “I was very skeptical at the beginning. But then one day after the gym, I tried a New York slice, and I was very satisfied about it. Pizza is universal.”
“I’m a big fan of the Mariolina, because I created it after me because when I was little, they called me Mariolina, so I created the Mariolina: pickled jalapeno, spicy honey, and spicy capocollo. I’ve been having pizza almost every day for the last 16 years. I never regret pizza.” Mari is proud to say that Sottocasa’s secret is consistency and always using high quality ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes, Farina Caputo, and mozzarella fior di latte.
Mari recently hired artist @biancadoesnyc 🎨to beautify the entryway of Sottocasa with a new and vibrant mural for the community to enjoy, “It sums up our being Italian and proudly Brooklynite.” Looking back, Mari says, “When I moved to New York, I changed so many things and I think that taught me that change is good. I understood my true self had value no matter where I am. That’s the great education that New York gave me.”
Make sure you visit Sottocasa this summer and try their authentic Neopolitan style pizzas and delicious spritzes!
Open Monday to Thursday from 5-10PM, Friday from 5-11PM, Saturday from 12-11PM, and Sunday from 12-10PM.
📍 298 Atlantic Avenue
