Pacifico Is Open…
…and thank Bob for that! Because it seems that the cursed corner that once housed Gravy, Trout, Pacific Pizza, and most recently the dreadful Since 1963 BBQ, and Cafe Bueno is again under construction. One can only assume it will be yet another ill conceived idea ofthe management team behind the successful Pacifico, a restaurant that [...]

Hide the children and pack up the valuables, kids. Dine-In Brooklyn has arrived. In what promises to be the most current Restaurant Week on record (see what I did there?), the old standbys along with some new blood are coming to the party. Some people think of March and get excited for silly things like [...]

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 [...]
Mile End Opens Tomorrow

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.

I often dream about getting the hell out of Brooklyn, out of New York, and moving up the east coast to the Boston area, Rhode Island (specifically Newport), Maine, or NH. And in this dream, for work I open up a small cafe in which we sell strong [...]

How do I begin to describe this train wreck? Well, I guess that explains it. The name is deceiving. WHAT, exactly has been there since 1963? When I moved to the neighborhood 7 years ago the spot was a dilapidated grocery store, or something. It then [...]
My Apartment
Everyone has a “place.” You know, that one restaurant or bar that feels like home, that has the right mix of food, drinks, ambiance, service and je ne sais quoi. (Yeah, what up high school French! Big ups to Mr. Carpenter. But I digress …)
For me and the missus, our apartment away from our apartment is, well, [...]
French! Without the Attitude
I’ve been eating in this neighborhood for a number of years now. (approximately 9) Many places come and go, but there are a few that hold their integrity, their quality of food and ambiance, service, and menu. One of these places is Robin Des Bois Sherwood Cafe. During my earliest years in the hood I [...]

Sunday brunch is by far my favorite meal of the week. I love the leisurely nature of it. I imagine it is what everyday would be like if I was one of those “ladies that lunched”. Sleep in, take my time getting ready while watching Saved by the Bell reruns, mosey on out the door, [...]

There was a point last summer when I’d put on a few extra pounds – not necessarily from lack of exercise or an abundance of Dark N Stormy’s (although, I’m sure they were both partially to blame) – but from that fact that by Labor Day I had the lady working the counter at Uncle [...]
