“I always thought that intersection needed something,” Paco Abraham said. Thousands of commuters pass through the subway entrances on these corners every day. You’ve got students walking to schools on Bergen and customers heading to the restaurant row on Smith. They’re all contending with traffic that tends to accelerate on the excessively wide Bergen as drivers to make the light at Court Street.

Video: Brooklyn’s Illegal Urban Beekeepers Are Ready to Make Honey [serious eats]
Remember those three Brooklyn beekeeper dudes? Well they’re covering up the leg tattoos (just briefly) to put on real head-to-toe beekeeper suits—it’s time for their first illegal honey harvest! Using a special tool called a “scratcher,” they picked off the tops of the comb and got really science labby with a centrifuge to apply some centripetal force on those honey frames.

Brooklyn Calexico Rocks [a Brooklyn life]
Oh Carroll Gardens food friends, the day has come. The day I thought I’d never see. The day when I can *walk* to a sit-down restaurant with great tacos, make that mind-blowing tacos. On the West Coast, they would be merely great tacos, but New York City being bizarrely inadequate in the burrito and taco (nay entire Mexican food) category, Calexico achieves mind-blowing status.
The carne asada (the jewel of the meats in my opinion) is…

mysterious brooklyn pharmacy to host goat roast
On June 20 from 2-9 p.m., a group of ambitious young farmers called The Greenhorns will host an event called the Goat Spit Summer Throwdown at the old pharmacy. A lot is planned for the day: a rough cut of Severine von Tscharner Fleming’s Greenhorns documentary will be projected on a wall. The operators of a 6,000-square-foot rooftop garden in Greenpoint will lead a workshop, as will Sam Comfort, whom Greenhorns coordinator Patrick Kiley describes as “the most radical beekeeper in the Hudson Valley, possibly the world.” Mayoral candidate Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping will make a musical appearance. Both the custom sound system and the goat roasting spit will be powered by bicycle, and Captain Lawrence beer will be served. Bitter green salad, light snacks, and espresso, too. Admission is $5 and includes a free beer.
