Here To Stay, For Now
Tex-Mex favorite Lobo closed its doors Monday to renovate.
The sign says it all. Like a fool, or a bad restaurant reporter (however you choose to look at it) I didn’t go in to get the full scoop, but word on the street is that they’ll be closed a month or so (reopen date was cut off [...]
A Different Kind of Dive Bar …
Let’s get something straight. Despite the glowing neon sign that would lead one to believe otherwise, Montero’s Bar & Grill does not serve food.
(Unless, of course, you count the small bags of chips for sale behind the counter and the lime wedge you may or may not get with a bottle of Corona.) And that’s [...]
They Sure Ain’t From Buffalo
A month or so ago, I reported on the opening of the new Smith Street Atomic Wings located in the former home of the Boerum Hill Food Company.

I’ve ordered Chinese take-out from Sichuan Garden before. They make fantastic steamed [...]

Brownstoner reports that the perennial Cobble Hill Tex-Mex restaurant, Lobo will close for one month starting March 23rd. We’re hoping their temporary closure for “renovations” doesn’t really mean something worse.
This would be a true shame as they mix one of the best margaritas in the city – made with chipotle peppers – and one of the [...]
DUMBO BBQ & Brunch
To some, brunch is a way of life. A Sunday privilege…no, a Sunday right, if you will. To me, brunch is a four letter word. To start eating eggs at noon or later and waste 3 + hours sitting in a restaurant and spending considerably more money than necessary for what I’m eating doesn’t make [...]
