Live music last weekend was a hit 🎶! The summer afternoon brought people together outside and Hoyt Street was buzzing. Thank you to the talented Fredrix Clark for bringing his original music to our community.

Follow us for the latest news on our events. Our programming is always free and open to the public.

We try to add a little bit of green wherever we can 🌻🪴 for the community and visitors to enjoy! As you may know, a main goal of our organization includes the beautification of the corridor.

Have you seen our planters on Hoyt Street between State Street and Atlantic Avenue? These beautiful additions not only contribute to the vibrancy of the block but also provide protections for pedestrians. The planters act as traffic calming measures (increases vertical visibility, discourages illegal parking, slows turning vehicles) for our Open Street, especially as we are a designated Vision Zero corridor.

Thank you to @thehort, our proactive board member Jack, and the amazing Hoyt Street businesses that help us care for our planters and trees/tree pits! ☀️

Located in Boerum Hill stands St. Cyril of Turau Cathedral of the Belarusian Autocephalic Orthodox Church. The current structure was built in 1902 but it actually sits atop the location of an earlier church built in the 1850s 👷. Atlantic Avenue is, and always has been, a hub. Back then, the area served maritime business, retail shops, and residents which made this an ideal location for the community.

In 1950, about 70 Belarusian immigrants purchased the stunning church. The group then sought to put all of their own time, money, and energy into renovations. The building’s namesake is from a 12th century Belarusian bishop, known to be a writer and poet ✍️. This space continues to be part of the fabric of Atlantic Avenue!

📍401-403 Atlantic Avenue

This summer we are inviting important leaders from City government to Atlantic Avenue to learn about our district’s pressing issues, which often have citywide implications, and hear from our small businesses directly.

Our first guest was @cmshanelth! As Chair of the City Council’s Small Business Committee and member of the Economic Development Committee, we thank her for her time and engagement. 👏

During the visit, Councilmember Thomas-Henry met with Ron Sahadi of @sahadis and Nick Salem of @tripolirestaurant.nyc, both are iconic and legacy businesses. Together they discussed how City government can better serve businesses like theirs, ones that have built and contributed to this community for a long time. Read more about this in our newsletter!

We look forward to more exciting and fruitful experiences like this one! 🫶
