🌱 DUMBO Coffee Shop Closes + Meet The Original Brooklyn Bridge

Morning, neighbors! It's me again, Dashiell Allen, your host of the Brooklyn Heights-DUMBO Daily.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny. High: 56 Low: 44.

Here are the top three stories today in Brooklyn Heights-DUMBO:

1. Lauren Bush Lauren, an influencer business woman and former model, announced the closing of her coffee shop, Feed Shop & Cafe, in DUMBO, after five years. Revenue from the cafe had gone towards providing free meals to over 1 million children in Brooklyn and the world, according to Bush Lauren. (WWD)
2. You may have heard of the Brooklyn Bridge — but what about the "Breukelen Bridge," in the town of Breukelen, The Netherlands? No, it's not a joke. The residents of this town pride themselves on being home to the original bridge, which was first opened (albeit in a previous iteration) over 700 years ago. (Brooklyn Paper)
3. The subways are busy rerouting themselves this weekend, with no Manhattan-bound A train service at High Street, and no C service in either direction. See the full transit update here. (Brooklyn Heights Blog)
