THE LEDE: Happy Friday! We take a staycation in Manhattan Beach, North Brooklyn restaurants aren’t worried about the L-train shutdown, and the official state author and poet both have Brooklyn ties. Plus, the borough’s second-most expensive home is a Bay Ridge villa, a Japanese-French restaurant is coming to Crown Heights, and Martha Stewart will host an event in Prospect Park. Finally, Bushwick has a parking problem, we recommend the 25 best cocktail bars in the city, and there’s fireworks tonight at the Coney Island Brewery.
