Dear GayRidge – Happy Pride 2025! (Plus Map)
On Sunday, June 8th, GayRidge will hold their fourth annual Pride Celebration at Owl’s Head Park on 68th Street and Shore Road from 12:00 – 5:00 pm.
Congratulations to the organizers of this event! Work is being done at Owl’s Head Park, but they still made it work for the event. Here’s the map on how to get in:
Our area has seen hate towards people in the LGBTQ in the last few years with the burning/removal of pride flags and the destruction of the memorial Pride bench repeatedly on Shore Road. These acts of hate send the wrong message to children and teens.
We hope Pride 2025 is fantastic and we appreciate your advocacy in Bay Ridge!
We Also Appreciate These Bay Ridge Businesses for Acknowledging Pride Month:
1) Caffe Cafe at 8401 – 3rd Avenue is celebrating Pride Month with an updated logo:
Caffe Cafe has a special espresso for Pride Month!
2) Classic Impressions at 9008 3rd Avenue also shared Pride and their new storefront has Pride and Father’s Day items.
3) Regina di Dolce Bakery is giving out free rainbow cookie donuts.

Robbery at a Nail Salon in Bay Ridge
Last weekend a customer was robbed by a thief who ran into Magnolia Nails at 8312 – 3rd Avenue (this used to be Le Charme Nail Spa).
While the salon has a buzzer for the door, the door was propped open because of the warm weather.
A masked man entered the salon and walked to the back to use the restroom. When he was walking out, he grabbed a customer’s purse. The purse was found later without the money.
There has been an uptick in robberies of patrons at Bay Ridge businesses (not only salons, but a bar and laundromat as well). Keep your purse close or change to another type of storage for your money/ID.
There was a GoFundMe for the mother, but it was removed.

The Shomrim Help the NYPD Nab Three Jewelry Thieves in Brooklyn
Pic from Shomrim’s video
On Sunday, May 27th, the Borough Park Shomrim saw people robbing a person using a “hug-and-snatch” tactic.
The perps used fake jewelry to steal real jewelry from people. The Shomrim contacted the NYPD and three people were arrested.
Watch this video:
From the video, you can see the arrest took place outside of St. Bernadette’s Church on 13th Avenue and 82nd Street in Dyker Heights.
Are these the same people who were robbing senior citizens in Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge last Summer? This should have been a story that made it to our local papers, but it didn’t.
Thank you to the Shomrim for taking action and getting these thieves arrested!

Senator Chan Was Hanging Nets at The Park
Everyone knows Senator Steve Chan is very present in the community.
Yesterday, he was hanging nets at the basketball court at Lieutenant Joseph Petrosino Park on 70th Street and 16th Avenue. The courts are ready for the community to enjoy! Amazing!
Senator Chan also shared a photo of the pages of notes he made about how he was voting for 70 bills in the Senate this week. Many must be terrible because Senator Chan wrote a Republican governor was needed to veto 90% of these bills!
