Hi, neighbor!
I’m Laura Stewart, an independent journalist based in the Fruit Streets of Brooklyn Heights.
Pineapple Street covers local news and civic affairs in Brooklyn Heights — the people, places and things that shape our community.
I’ve worked as a reporter in local and investigative newsrooms, covering everything from neighborhood events to statewide government programs. I’m just as interested in a neighborhood dog show as I am in a landlord’s wrongdoing.

I work hard to get every fact right. When I get something wrong, I’ll fix it promptly and add a note to the story explaining what changed. If you spot an error, please send an email to tips@pineapplestreetbk.com.
