Join our chat
A private space for conversation and connection
The CSJ Chat is our private space for paid subscribers, a more casual, ongoing conversation around everything we talk about at Court Street Journal.
Inside, we share neighborhood observations from West Brooklyn, restaurant recommendations, practical tips, cultural finds and the small details that make everyday life feel a little richer. I also post thoughts as they come up, playlists, questions and things I’m noticing along the way.
Think of it as a low pressure exchange. A place to swap notes, share ideas and stay inspired together.
If you haven’t joined yet, I’d love to see you there.
How to get started
Get the Substack app by clicking this link or the button below. New chat threads won’t be sent sent via email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens. You can also access chat on the web.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
