Here it is: our third and final newsletter for the month of March 2022. Inside, you’ll find events/openings info, a recap of all our recent EscapeBrooklyn.com features, plus an exclusive giveaway to Hasbrouck House to our paid Escape Club members.
If you’re not already a paid member, please consider supporting Escape Brooklyn! Fees keep our website clean of those annoying ads that follow you around, pay our photographers and writers that create original content, and allow our partner hotels and Airbnbs to give us discounts and giveaways that we then pass onto you.
Think of the $6 monthly fee as buying a beer for a friend. 🍻 We are female-led, artist-run, small (tiny) business and 1% goes to combatting climate change.
Cheers & see you in April! 🌼

• New in Escape Brooklyn Design, check out our recent feature on Love Lamb, who creates sustainable and cruelty-free sheepskins using a felting method – no skinning required. The results are beautiful and 100% guilt free.
• Did you see our Real Estate feature this month? We spoke with Robin Jones of Catskill Mountain Houses about the impact of real estate on the environment, and how you can minimize your carbon footprint as a (present or future) homeowner in Upstate NY. We’re including a load of links and resources, too.
• We’re excited to share A Blind Pig in the Pocono Mountains of PA to our Escape Club roster. Named for its speakeasy vibes — back in the day, “A Blind Pig” was slang for a speakeasy — one of the Hideout's two living rooms is accessed by a secret door. Bring your swimsuit for the nearby lake, or shared community pool.
Check out our web feature, with links to our nearby guides, with all the hiking, swimming, shopping and other resources you need to plan a trip.
