"Pasquale “Pat” Bruno, 77, still lives in the same house on Bond Street where he was born in 1932. For a year or two after he married, he lived a few blocks away, but he and his bride soon returned to the house he grew up in with his two sisters and two brothers in a neighborhood filled with other two- and three-family homes. It was a world bounded roughly by Smith Street, Atlantic Avenue and Nevins Street to the east and Third Street to the south, but he’s not sure what that neighborhood’s called today. “Sunset Park, Carroll Gardens, even I don’t know where that is,” Bruno said with a laugh. “When I was growing up, it was all just plain old South Brooklyn.”"
Mr. Bruno makes a great point about South Brooklyn/Red Hook. He also sounds like an endangered species.
Who is hungry for some crumb buns?
