Noted on the Lo-Down:

“The Daily News explores some of the better food offerings along the J Line, near the Bowery Station. Roni-Sue’s Chocolates, across from Sara D. Roosevelt Park, earns high marks for a spring special, truffles with strawberry and rhubarb.”

Eating along the J line: Bruleed Peeps…are must-try treats near this Bowery train stop

Chocolate goddess

City chocoholics likely already know Rhonda Kave, the Roni-Sue of Roni-Sue’s Chocolates. Since she started making sweets professionally 10 years ago — after decades of doing it as a hobby — she’s made a name for confections, truffles, toffees, lollipops and other sweets with a sense of humor and well-sourced ingredients.

From an intrepid gardener:

“Don’t know how many of you have noticed, but those squeaky wheel sounds coming from the garden

after dark will not be fixed with an oil can.  

That is our own native spring peepers….there are several quite tuneful sopranos … They seem to be

mostly located in or around the plant filled pond across from Bob’s ‘greenhouse’ area.  Ah what a delight

it is…..they seemed to be thriving in the [area] that has lots of plant material growing in the pond.  

So, if you want some male peepers ….singing from your pond, add some plant material.  Warm wet

spring nights are their favorites.”

From Bowery Boogie:

Windflower Farms will be holding their first day of the Stanton CSA tomorrow.

On the back patio of the M’Finda Kalunga Garden 1-2pm. Rain or Shine.

Past time to get cars out of the park. Public transportation works for the neighborhood why not for everyone?

It’s time to replace the tree planted with love (run over by a truck in the park) by the LES Prep students and AAFE seniors! The empty tree pit should have a tree in it! Not be part of a driveway for trucks.

Before and After:

If you can’t avoid a stationary tree it doesn’t bode well for someone on a bike, a child running through the park or strolling park users. Cars have no place in this narrow park. It is the # 1 complaint we get.
