THE LEDE: Happy Wednesday, Brooklyn! Today, the battle over the names of two Bay Ridge streets rages on as local pols band together for a renewed push. Meanwhile, Councilmember Rafael Espinal aims to repeal the city’s “historically racist and arbitrarily enforced cabaret law” (yes, such a law exists in NYC). A new political era brings new tensions to Brooklyn’s Little Pakistan, and the Dept. of Cultural Affairs is looking to make a rather significant – and whimsical – sale. Do you make sure to buy the “antibacterial” soap at the store? If so, you may want to reconsider…Finally, a (very) young saleswoman corners a market in Cobble Hill, and experiences sweet success.
IMPRINT: Marine Le Pen should have brought her scuba gear to the shoot for the latest cover of the Economist.
