Looking for a bite after an excursion to the Brooklyn Brewery, I stumbled upon Brooklyn Label, a hybrid cafe / restaurant where Franklin Street and Java Street intersect. Coincidentally — or ironically — Brooklyn Label is a coffee house on the corner of Java Street.

When we wrote about Vox Pop a couple of months ago, we weren’t aware of the debt that they had incurred as part of a “legacy debt.” Well, the city was aware of it and the Department of Taxation and Finance has shut down this great cafe / restaurant / bar for back taxes. We [...]

“Are you open” were my first few words uttered as I entered the Park Cafe on a windy night in early November. They were open, and by the time that I had finished only two other lonely souls wandered in for a meal. Should we consider this [...]

On a recent workday I was in the neighborhood on Cortelyou Road to take pictures and soak in the area that is constantly changing. Coming to the end, I was getting thirsty and couldn’t find a Starbucks to get my caffeine fix on. Taking a shot, I walked [...]

McCarren Park. It’s quiet and relaxing, and you don’t have to look far for a pick up game, a food truck, an impromtu yoga class, or a restaurant. On the NE corner of the park, straddling Greenpoint and Williamsburg, lives Five Leaves. The Australian comfort food joint [...]
