Natalie Portman Films New Movie in Brooklyn

Natalie Portman is filming select scenes for a new flick called "New York I Love You" in Brooklyn Heights.

Interestingly, the article reports that the man playing Natalie's husband, a Hasidic Jew from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, quit the film. Being filmed and photographed, with images appearing on the Internet, was against his beliefs. Isaac Abraham, a Hasidic community leader, called him a "little naive."

Brooklyn Bowling...I'm so There

Gothamist has a post on the soon-to-be-opened bowling alley, The Gutter. It's apparently the first bowling alley to open in Brooklyn in a long, long time. I have had a bowling craving for the past few months so this is great timing!

WHO: The Gutter

WHAT: Bowling, Beers & Embarrassing Shoes

WHEN: "Soon" Mon.-Thurs. 4pm to 4am; Fri.-Sun. noon to 4am

WHERE: Greenpoint -- 200 North 14th St

WHY: It's fun, silly!

According to Gothamist, for a group of 4 (or more) it will cost you $48 per hour during the week; $56 per hour on weekends. Bring cash to pay for the game, but your card will work at the bar for drinks.
