DO’s:

After recently closing due to a fire from a restaurant above, Loehmanns finally reopens! If you’re on Emmons Avenue and want to get some shopping done or need somewhere to go to kill time, I suggest you visit Loehmanns. This is a very popular local clothing store, because of its wide array of designer clothes at discounted prices. You might not need that Versace coat or the Gucci belt at 30% off, but you will definitely find something in that store that suits your taste, style, and budget.

DONT’S:

Readers beware! Other might praise this place, but it is like an old broken down bike we hold onto even though it doesn’t work. El Greco is without a doubt a Sheepshead Bay landmark. I’ve heard from long time residents that this diner used to live up to its expectations many years ago. However, nowadays, this could quite possibly be the worst place you can grab a bite to eat. The food is on par with something microwaveable you can get in Pathmark on Nostrand and Y. The only quirk about this diner is that it will most likely be open whenever you need it to be, so you can always rely on El Greco for a cup of coffee when you’re coming home in the early morning from a rough night. Even then, I’d get a coffee from the grocery store across the street.
