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 [...]

Update 9/18/09 – Provence en Boite has reopened!
Provence en Boite, a small French Bistro on the corner of Smith Street and DeGraw is closed. Whether this is a temporary or permanent closure is to be determined. Today the doors are locked, and there is a sign in the window stating that they have been closed [...]

Sal’s has been a Court Street fixture for long enough to be considered a relic. This was actually the first place I ever ate in Brooklyn right before I moved to the neighborhood. It’s small inside and kind of dusty looking – like a [...]

Back in May, Eating Brooklyn correspondent Holly Rayna Raub was kind enough to report on the newish Carroll Gardens eatery, Prime Meats from the point of view of a vegetarian. I returned last night with my Burger Club to sample some of their namesake. What I found was that they do meat good! [...]
French Is In The Air

Having the best creme brulee does not a French restaurant make. We came to that conclusion one Saturday morning after brunch at Cafe Luluc on Smith street.
Rene and I ordered the cheese platter, the hangar steak, the seared striped bass and shared a plate of pancakes. We made sure we [...]

It’s a typical late breakfast morning — but not quite brunch yet — at Provence en Boite on Smith and Degraw, the ‘French Quarter’ of Carroll Gardens.

A couple Sundays ago I found myself dragging my mom - who loves eating in Brooklyn (and Eating Brooklyn), my dad – who would usually rather be golfing, driving his MG, or napping with his pug, and Kristina – who on a Sunday hates to go anywhere but the diner [...]

There was a series of episodes of the Sopranos during one of the middle seasons in which Tony, Paulie, and Christopher go to Italy. One scene, in particular that stands out in my mind is a dinner scene. They’re all gathered around a big restaurant table, and are served something [...]
You Had Me at Bibb
Why would a vegetarian go to a place called Prime Meats? Obviously, it was not my first choice. After my second attempt at no reservations-Frankie’s 457 was nixed with a get this – a 2 hour wait – hold the phone – where am I living again? It’s Brooklyn, right?
Don’t get me wrong I’m not [...]
Channeling Home
My first attempt to eat at Buttermilk Channel ended abruptly with the pronouncement of an hour and a half wait for brunch.
Although the inclusion of a vegetarian menu was enticing the usual Saturday mimosa call was too loud to be ignored for any length of time. Whoever said these were hard times hasn’t seen the [...]
