Welcome to Carroll Gardens Patch

Thank you for visiting Carroll Gardens Patch, also covering Cobble Hill and Boerum Hill.

Carroll Gardens Patch is an invaluable news and information source for the neighborhood. We'll be here seven days a week, reporting on the latest restaurant openings, new BQE and Gowanus related developments, local politics and much more.

Here's a bit more about what exactly Carroll Gardens Patch has to offer:

NEWS

Our news section is divided into several categories. We'll report breaking news as well as civic and social issues and developments in the schools. Of course, we'll also keep you on top of trends in shopping and nightlife.

We'll cover Brooklyn's unique arts scene and we'll give a platform to both local political representatives and area residents in our Opinion section.

DIRECTORY

Our extensive directory is where you'll find everything you need to know about the businesses right around the corner. We'll give you addresses, phone numbers, hours of operation and maybe even some history in each listing.

EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

Want to know which coffee shops and book stores in the neighborhood regularly hold book readings, or when the next community board meeting is? Check our daily Events section. From civic group meetings to charity events and volunteer opportunities, this is where you'll find out what's going on in the neighborhood.

We invite you to be a part of Patch and upload your events right to the Web site as well. We want to hear about the important happenings going on in your life.  If you're getting married, graduated, won an award or honor, post it in our Announcements section. You can honor a loved one with an obituary there as well.

Carroll Gardens Patch isn't just about telling you about what's going on in the neighborhood. We want to hear from you as well. We want your comments, opinions, announcements and ideas. If you think there's something that we should cover, let us know. You can email me, Editor Georgia Kral, at georgia.kral@patch.com.
