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 [...]
Dine in Brooklyn is Here!
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 [...]

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 [...]
Who Makes The Best Red Velvet Cake In Brooklyn?
Last Friday I had the distinct pleasure of being a judge in a Red Velvet Cake competition as part of the Red Show held at the Brooklyn Historical Society. Other judges were Deborah Schwartz, President of the BHS and Marty Markowitz, Brooklyn Borough President. The event was sponsored in part by New York Creates.

Henry Street Ale House

On a random Sunday I found myself walking through Brooklyn heights with my friend Andy when we stumbled upon the Henry Street Ale House. It looks simple and understated from the outside, which was what we were looking for. Actually, I had a craving for a burger [...]
A Walk and a Bagel
Last Saturday morning, Kristina and I decided to get up and out early, and start our weekend off right with a long, healthy walk.
I put on shorts and a sweatshirt and my gym sneakers, grabbed my wallet in case we should stop for coffee (smart idea #1), and left my phone and camera on the [...]
Brick Oven Bummer
For the record, just because Italians are serving and preparing your pizza doesn’t automatically make it great (or even good). And just merely having a brick oven won’t make your pizza delicious, either.
I say this because La Pizzetta, one of the newer additions to the Brooklyn Heights side of Atlantic Avenue, has both the Italians [...]
The Only Kobe I Care For
For the record, Kobe beef has nothing to do with Kobe Bryant. However, they do share one thing in common: excellence. The Bryant variety is arguably the greatest basketball player on the planet. (Chill, LeBron fans, I said arguably, didn’t I?) The Beef, meanwhile, is arguably the greatest, well, beef on the planet.
That said, one [...]
