That’s right, we’re holding a raffle, and it’s going to be the best one Brooklyn has even seen. Why? A year ago this month, Brokelyn emerged from its primordial blog ooze and started bringing you all you need for living big on small change, and received some mighty fine accolades along the way). To celebrate our first year, we’re all going to live even bigger, just for one special night before the carriage turns back into the G train. On June 10, we’re having a party at Night Owl in Williamsburg — and we’re going to raffle off the best that Brooklyn has to offer.
This ain’t going to be some Stephen-Baldwin-DVD and hamster-grooming-gift-certificate door prize bunk.We’re talking the kinda stuff you might buy if you weren’t stuck contemplating creative new income sources. Our Brokelyn elves are busy rustling up the loot, but we want to know what you want for our birthday! Since you’re the ones who are going to be coming to the party and buying the raffle tickets (or else!!!), you tell us: what fine Brooklyn goods and services would you like to win in THE RAFFLE OF THE CENTURY?

More of those beer books that sold out so quickly!
We just might go into the Brokelyn vault and find one Josh. BTW, I want an Elvis haircut at the new Graceland salon. Or Woodley & Bunny.
I’ve actually always wanted an unlimited metro card. Those things sound like some faaaancy living.
big gift cert to A Di La?
A hair cut and color done by, you know, someone actually being paid to do so…with some training. I’m not picky.
FOOD. More than anything, that’s what I wish I had more money for. Gift cert for Robertas or Buttermilk Channel or even something like The Meat Hook…swoon.
fistfuls of cash would be great
A brownstone in Park Slope!
Massage + facial + pedi at D’Mai Urban Spa — bliss!
A bike! A new spiffy one for girls…with a basket! I’ve been coveting a spiffy one for years. Yes, years.
if you can find a way to fit a Park Slope brownstone in a prize tote bag, maybe we can include it in the RAFFLE OF THE CENTURY
The ability to cut the lines at all the free summer concerts.
yes! a brownstone (neighborhood of choice), a nice haircut (no woodley and bunny, those guys are rip off artists) and an unlimited metrocard all sound nice. i also wouldn’t turn down the cute bike option.
but also maybe a huge gift certificate for the new barneys coop? or for some cute boutiques around town?
Here’s a short list:
*Arecibo gift certificates
*BAM Cinema membership
*Robicelli cupcakes subscription for a year
*LOVE the unlimited metrocard idea @Tim
*Celebrate Brooklyn VIP tix
A Cab ride home after getting blasted! Does that come in gift certificate form?
Stay-cation to one of the swank Victorian B&B’s in Ditmas Park.
If I was not a “certified Brokester” I would love the ability to give a large dinner party for friends. So maybe the space, table, and money to do that!
And a dog. Can you get someone to donate their dog for a day? The benefits of pet ownership without the long term responsibility?
When I dare to dream, I dream of sampling the wares of Brooklyn’s indie fashion and jewelry designers.
And, hey, isn’t Gilt Group based in Brooklyn? I need clothes.
A new bicycle, not from Craigslist but from an actual bike shop, would be aces! And a gift certificate to Buttermilk Channel = not too shabby. How about a shopping spree at OAK? Then lots of cash for daily cappuccinos from Gimmie Coffee so I can chuck the grimy go-mug I’ve been sporting for so many years.
what about Nets exclusive box seats? Does anyone have Jay Z’s number?
I thought of one more obvious splurge I would love to win in a raffle. ipad.
I’d love a Motorino gift cert. Still haven’t been there since it was anointed “city’s best.”

– Tokens for Brooklyn Brewery
– More of those beer books

– I love the idea of a stay-cation at a B&B in Brooklyn
NuNu chocolates (the caramel salt ones…mmm….)
Food that Brokesters can’t afford:
Cheesecake from Juniors
Pizza from Grimaldi’s
Steak at Peter Luger’s or Mortons
Love the unlimited Metrocard idea… never had one of those. And the B & B staycation is cool, too.
–A REAL vacation. Out of town and everything. Staycations are the only thing I can afford already.
–Shopping. Please turn window shopping into real live shopping.
–A facial, or something silly like that. Something where people prod your body and make it beautiful.
a new bike and a plane ticket out of brooklyn (is that beside the point?). a job!!!! gift certificates to anything that helps out a broke ass brooklynite.
Yo, pleeeeeeeease- Jonathan Adler and some Hayden Harnett!!
GC to a kitchen store like Brooklyn Kitchen or Whisk. GC to Trader Joe’s, a booze store like Dandelion, Greene Grape or Brouwerij Lane. One of those unlimited movie passes from BAM.
re: dog for a day…
please god. someone come take him. Cute, adorable, sweet as pie, cuddly small white dog for rent (by rent I mean TAKE HIM) for a day. Guys- you WILL meet girls with this dog. He does tricks. He is adorable. He gives tons of kisses and is not vicious, yippy or obnoxious. I would love to be able to spend an entire day in the city without being riddled with guilt.
