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?

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.
