‘Battle of the Boroughs’ at Onderdonk House
A group of plucky Brooklyn
amateurs ventured into Ridgewood on
Aug. 17 to challenge a band of Queens
rivals for the inaugural Arbitration
Rock Battle of the Boroughs.
Gladiators young and old journeyed
to the hallowed turf arena beside
Arbitration Rock — a historic boulder
now at the historic Onderdonk House
in Ridgewood, but which once marked
the boundaries of rival Long Island
townships Newtown and Bushwick —
to represent their beloved boroughs
in a battle of wits and skill.
The contest took the form of various
competitive challenges — including a
babies-only diaper dash, a hula hoop
challenge, pie eating, egg-spoon relay,
limbo, two dance-off s, and two Tugso
War.
In the end, the Kings County
underdogs emerged victorious, forcing
the vanquished foes from Queens to
swallow the bitter pill of defeat.
Even so, the organizers were pleased
with how things turned out.
“It was the fi rst time we did it and
we had a nice turnout,” said Virginia
Comber of the Greater Ridgewood
Historical Society. “We might make it
an annual thing now.”
