Partly sunny and milder. High: 62 Low: 46.

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

1. A man climbed up the cables of the Brooklyn Bridge Thursday morning at around 7:30 a.m., temporarily closing down two lanes of traffic. Luckily bystanders were able to convince him to come down before he got hurt. (New York City Patch)
2. Meet Ashley and Gautier Coiffard, the bakers of adorable "tiny Croissants." After selling their baked goods and confections on Instagram in 2020, the newly-wed couple plans to open a brick-and-mortar store in Brooklyn Heights in the near future. (Zagat Stories)
3. A man who shocked Brooklyn Heights residents last year by driving a car onto the Heights Promenade, appeared in court this week. Luckily nobody was killed in the incident, but since then protective barriers have been put in place to prevent anything similar from occurring in the future. (Brooklyn Daily Eagle)
