WHAT: Cobble Hill Happy Hour

Cobble Hill residents and their friends get $4 pints and well drinks, and buckets of Miller High Life for $15.

Brownstoner launches an awesome new service. From the site:

bk.ly is a crowd-sourced news site for Brooklyn, NY built upon the locally-branded url shortener bk.ly and locally-specific Twitter hashtag #bknews. Any tweet with either a bk.ly url or #bknews in it will show up in the tweet stream. bk,ly also tracks the most popular local links on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.

This pug waited patiently while his owner celebrated completion of the NYC Triathlon. Congratulations to all participants! What an amazing feat to have accomplished.

Off leash and covered in mud, MC couldn’t be happier.
