Record electricity usage results in Fort Greene brownout

Starting at about 10:30PM last night, several blocks in Ft. Greene were left without electricity. As of tonight, electricity was finally restored at about 10PM. The venerable deli stalwart, Ralph @ Meat Corp was forced to close early at about 8PM, two hours earlier than usual. Moe's, Cafe Lafayette and Pequena were also forced to close. Let's hope that they all throw out their rotten food instead of serving it to their unknowing customers.
