Here are the top 3 stories in Brooklyn Heights-DUMBO today:

1. Sticking around town for New Year's? There's plenty to do if you're planning to ring in 2022 in DUMBO.

2. The MTA has announced some service changes that will impact subway service in the Brooklyn Heights area over the next couple of weeks. Other than the ongoing Clark Street Station closure, disruptions are expected to be minimal over New Year's weekend. However, local residents should be aware that C trains will not run overnight through next week, and there will be no late-night 3 train service in either direction from Jan. 3 to 7. Visit the MTA's website for the latest updates. (Brooklyn Heights Blog)
3. The New York City housing market has had a wild year, with record lows, highs, and monster sales. Multi-million dollar property deals became the norm across the boroughs in 2021, including here in Brooklyn. Just last month, a $16 million combined sale at Front & York broke real estate records in DUMBO. (New York Post)
