Larry Brooks's Profile
Westchester-Hudson Valley Waterfront Fathers Day Sunday Dining?
The title says it all.
The Red Hat is booked. Any ideas? I'm wide open. Thanks...
Where to buy Bourbon in Brooklyn?
If not a restaurant on Smith then for some reason you are excluding Char 4. Why?
They have 150 bourbons!
Can't you just ignore the restaurant and sit at the bar?
If not Smith St, what neighborhood are you looking in?
Court Street Happenings
Anyone know if the new Franks coffee place sells Stumptown beans?
Cube 63 recent disappointment
I love their rolls. The other night was just sashimi, and it was -tiny-.
Cube 63 recent disappointment
I've always liked Cube 63 though I haven't been in a long time. When they first opened I was blown away and though them to be superior to the nearby Osaka. I went in this weekend and was so so so disappointed. I ordered among other dishes ( which were fine, even good) a sashimi platter that was the saddest most uninspired plate I've ever ordered, and for $18 I was a bit po'ed. The size of the sashimi cuts were easily 1/2 of what I'm used to either at Cube 63 or anywhere else. The fish was fresh enough and tasty but the portions were obviosuly feeling th recession. Bummer. I'll never go back.
Don't get me wrong, I know y sushi and I'm not expecting Peter Luger size portions but this was ridiculous.
Five Guys Fries
Gotta agree...normally I don't pipe in for "chains" but 5 Guys Fries are bangin'.
Midtown East/ Murray Hill lunch recos?
I need a lunch spot, any cuisine high end or cheap eats. I'd prefer somewhere I can linger a bit and not be rushed out after my last bite. Classic NYC is a plus but not essential.
Make your own salad in Carroll Gardens?
Nectar is good food but not make your own salad.
where in park slope can I get the tastiest BRAAIIINNS?
if this question is NOT a joke, go South to Sunset Park. Plenty of places have sesos burritos.
Yum!
Matamoros!
Best Sandwich in Slope/Carroll Gardens?
Al,
I can't speak to his being a jerk but probably the reason you got a blank stare is that they don't make hot sandwiches. Only cold, Italian subs. Again, his handling was bad but Joe's doesn't do 'em.

Salt Pork — Where Can I Buy It in Brooklyn?
Check Esposito's on Court in Carroll Gardens or Paisano's on Smith in Cobble Hill.
New Food Store in Downtown Brooklyn?
A multi billion dollar corporation? Are you sure? Whole Foods is a 5.7 billion dollar corporation with 270 stores.
And Boars Head?
Drinks after La Grenouille?
Thanks, I've never heard of Monnell's Wine Bar.
Google hasnt either, not in NYC.
You don't mean Morell in Rockefeller Plaza?
Drinks after La Grenouille?
Going to La Grenouille for a -special- date. Where should my wife and I go for drinks afterwards? It needn't be in the East 50s but plus if it is. I'm hoping for classic NY, romantic and hopefully quiet. And on a Saturday night. We'll be formally dressed so something grown up, please. Money not an option.
Too tall an order?
Boerum Hill Food Co- what happened?
I go in every few months since they opened. Sometimes its better than others, occasionally quite good. A few times, mediocre. This time it was like a 12 year old put the food out. I looked at the dishes and thought, ~are you -proud- of this ~?
Boerum Hill Food Co- what happened?
Did the kitchen change over there? I've been a patron literally since their 1st week. They've had their ups and downs but brunch this morning was a shocker. Friendly service? Yes. New coffee? Yes to Stumptown!
But the food. What happened? Its like a high school home ec class took over the kitchen while the chef was on vacation.
Shame on you guys...
rehearsal dinner crisis -- anywhere in downtown brooklyn?
They think Jolie is expensive, forget Frankie's.
As much as I agree and -worship- Frankie's.
Weekday lunch, any cuisine 100th St and Columbus?
Any cuisine and price range. Hole in wall, classic, ethnic. ANYTHING.
Where to go?
FASCATI CLOSED FOR ONE MONTH :: WHAT TO DO?
Ruby, read the thread and don't made the mistake I did. Fleur wants pizza close to her home. The ones that you and I have suggested are pretty far from her.
FASCATI CLOSED FOR ONE MONTH :: WHAT TO DO?
Oops! My bad.
I was confusing Fascati with the place on Henry and Union- 3 blocks from Marco Polo to go.
Apologies, Fleur.
FASCATI CLOSED FOR ONE MONTH :: WHAT TO DO?
Fleur, I'm surprised.
CH/CG foodie that you are, you should know about:
Sam's, old timer with renewed popularity
Lucali, newcomer with 99% positive reviews
and the sleeper of the year, Marco Polo to go.
Marco Polo to go is 3 blocks from Fascati and I say, is superior.
Good luck!
Seeking venue for small family dessert party
Though they have mixed reviews on this board, I'd say Sweet Melissa on Court.
Not to be nosy, but you have a 1 year old ice cream eater?
WOW!
Best restaurant in Brooklyn Heights?
I'm with you, sad to admit.
Noodle Pudding and Queen get my vote.
The Grocery?
You wanted to go to the Grocery without a reservation? You sure they weren't just closed for you?
; )
Downtown Brooklyn lunch?
Alexa, that restaurant is a good 20-30 minutes away. Nice plug for your own website,though.
Grimaldi's won't be open tonight...
Excellent news.
Now tired has beens resting on their buried reputation can step aside and we can all have some tasty pizza. Elsewhere.
quick dinner neart Court Street movies?
Theres Court Street 12 off Atlantic and the small theater further into Carroll Gardens.
Which one?
And how much time do you have?
Serviceable Brooklyn Italian Delis
Or just skip the hero and get a dozen proscuitto balls from Joe's Perette.
Fuhgeddaboudit!
Anniversary dinner, classic NY
Looking for the fanciest, most classically NY romantic restaurant for a special anniversary. Price not important but I'm after mood more than a price tag. If the atmosphere is there, skys the limit. Private room for 2? Even better...
Been to Gramercy Tavern, One if By Land, River Cafe. TOTG,
Its for later in the year, I want to reserve now and try to hustle "the best table".
