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

1. The eight month Clark Street subway station closure is more than just a small inconvenience for the small businesses that operate on its upper level. While they will remain open during the closure, business owners say they rely on the station's foot traffic, and many of their customers are commuters. The MTA isn't their landlord so they aren't able to offer them any special assistance. Lara Birnback, executive director of The Brooklyn Heights Association, said that her organization will make an effort to attract customers during the closure. (Brooklyn Paper)
2. A condo in the swanky Brooklyn Heights Quay Tower is set to be the borough's most expensive sale this year, at an asking price of over $10 million. (The Real Deal)
3. Restaurant owners see them as a vital lifeline for their industry. Residents and community groups feel otherwise. Outdoor sheds have become a New York institution since the start of the pandemic, and now a controversial zoning modification seeks to make them permanent. (NYC Patch)
