JUNE 29: A STOOP-ID TALE, with Kimber VanRy

Few things better evoke the poetic pleasures of a Brooklyn summer than drinking a beer on the stoop on a hot evening. Just one little thing, though: it's ILLEGAL! So Kimber VanRy found out last summer when he received a $25 summons for the nefarious act in his home hood of Prospect Heights. He could have just paid the small fine--but where's the fun in that? Hewing closely to his generation's mantra, Mr. VanRy decided instead that he would FIGHT FOR HIS RIGHT TO PARTY!! Nine-months in, after numerous court cases and a New York Times profile, Mr. VanRy is ready to give us the full tale, just in time to kick off a summer of Brooklyn Brownstone Stoop-endousness!
