Brooklyn’s tallest skyscraper is on the rise. The Bridge launches a podcast series. A Brooklyn company makes body armor for U.S. troops. Afropunk goes global. Surf schools become a stand-up business. The Blue Apron of dog food has investors drooling. Paloma is a chatbot that can relate to you. The new Nets star talks trash. And a swanky rehab center is coming to Dumbo.
