‘Historic’ Book Launch Party
BAY RIDGE — The community’s vibrant past comes to life on the pages of Bay Ridge, Etc., a new book written by leaders of the Bay Ridge Historical Society. The book was unveiled at a special party at Yellow Hook Grille on Third Avenue on Jan. 12. Yellow Hook, by the way, was the original name of the community. It was renamed Bay Ridge in the mid-19th century.
At the reception, co-authors Peter Scarpa and Ted General proudly posed for pictures and signed copies of the book.
“We’re very excited about the book launch,” General said.
