Photo via Madison Estates Sotheby's International Realty by Susan De Vries Our picks for open houses to check out this weekend are found in Prospect Heights, Dyker Heights, and Madison. They range in price from $874,999 to $3.199 million. All of the open houses are scheduled for Saturday, so they should be proceeding despite the big storm predicted to arrive on Sunday.

The views from the sunken living room and the bedroom (which has three closets) are south-facing and the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Public Library, and Prospect Park are basically right outside. The floors are a lovely blond parquet, and the kitchen has been recently renovated with stainless-steel appliances and quartz countertops. There's a dining alcove just outside the kitchen with a nicely sized foyer as a flex space.

Gertie is back, making a move from Williamsburg to Prospect Heights, and version 2.0 transforms what the beloved "Jew-ish" spot was known for into a modern, New York-style bagel shop and delicatessen with loads of neighborhood charm. The new location at 602 Vanderbilt is counter-service, offering hand-rolled bagels, latkes, deli favorites, homemade baked goods and specialty drinks. Nate Adler opened Gertie back in 2019 to much acclaim, and recently debuted nearby Gertrude's with wife Rachel Jackson.

Gertie - the Williamsburg Jewish diner and deli that closed in June - is coming back in full force in a new Brooklyn neighborhood this month. Gertie 2.0 will open in Prospect Heights at 602 Vanderbilt Avenue, near St. Marks Avenue, on Friday, November 21.

James Guimaraes was on mile seven of his last training run for the New York City Marathon when he got sucked into a bidding war. The Corcoran broker's clients had an offer in on something, and it was the sellers' agent calling: Was there any way to up the bid? Guimaraes spent the next four miles of his run trading off on calls between his clients and the other agent.

A 55-year-old pedestrian was fatally struck during a hit-and-run overnight in Prospect Heights, according to police.
