We just had a great dinner on Franklin Ave at the pizza place mentioned in the introduction of this article—we need to make more of an effort to check out the places in Crown Heights proper, because they seem great.

CR: No.

After leading my block association in the UWS and seeing how political these groups can get, however, flying solo is not a bad way to do it…I’ve designated myself a one-person team that manages the tree pits, litter, and weeds along my entire side of the block. No community board meetings necessary.
