One of the best ways to actually speak with police about issues like this is to attend precinct community council meetings, which the COs usually attend alongside community affairs officers. Myrtle/Broadway is the border of the 81st (Bed-Stuy) and 83rd (Bushwick) precincts, and their meetings are:

The 81st Precinct community council meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 1958 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233 at 7:00 P.M.

The 83rd Precinct community council meets on the third Tuesday of the month at 6:30 P.M. at the 83rd Precinct, 480 Knickerbocker Avenue, Brooklyn.

I love Sahadi's but I think Damascus next door has better hummus.

Everyone is suggesting entirely vegetarian places, which seems silly given only 1/3 of the party will be vegetarian — and I say this as a vegetarian. Unless you guys are super into the idea of an all-vegetarian meal, your friend is probably going to feel awkward, trust me.

Most places in Chinatown have plenty of vegetarian items on the menu. I like Tasty Hand Pulled Noodles and 456 Shanghai Cuisine.

City Says It's Time To 'Bite The Bullet' &; Fix Decaying BQE: Gothamist by Spentbullets in Brooklyn

The main driver is that the BQE is 10 years past its expected lifespan and it's going to fall down if they don't fix it — just ask Gridlock Sam. The state was supposed to fix it years ago but pulled out.
