Brooklyn Heights, NY 11201

Wine bars are often thought to be pretentious, stuffy, and expensive. They’re often cold and employ a staff that thinks they are superior to you because they know about wine, and you’re ordering pinot noir (because you’re a big fan of Paul Giamatti), and you can’t properly pronounce [...]

I have found my death row meal; should I be on death row in Brooklyn; but isn’t the point of a death row meal to have anything you want from anywhere? But I digress. Henry’s End is located smack at the end of Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights [...]

Pete’s Waterfront Ale House

Pete’s Waterfront Ale House
155 Atlantic Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11201-6724
(718) 522-3794
www.waterfrontalehouse.com
Walking into Pete’s Waterfront Ale House reminds me, somewhat of walking into an old Ground Round restaurant. It’s grimy. The smell of free, hot, salty popcorn permeates the air. There’s a bar to the right playing Nascar on the TV. We seated ourselves at a cramped table next to a half-wall [...]

I’d Walk (About) A Mile for Mile End

Mile End
97A Hoyt Street
Brooklyn

www.mileendbrooklyn.com
As a Jewish kid from the suburbs of NYC, I naturally grew up eating Kosher deli. When I moved to Smith Street about 8 years ago I was saddened to see that none was available in the area. Sure, I could go to Williamsburg, Crown Heights, or the Lower East Side, but [...]

Brooklyn, NY
Mile End, the Montreal-style Kosher deli (featuring a real Québécois owner) is set to open tomorrow for lunch. Eating Brooklyn will be on the scene to sample the fare, and hopefully get in a word or two (in English) with the proprietor himself, Noah Bernamoff.
