Next El Bulli Menu
Eater just released the menu. http://chicago.eater.com/archives/2012/02/08/nexts-elbulli-menu-revealed-in-spanish-and-english.php The number before each dish refers to the year that dish was on El Bulli's menu, but does anyone know what the numbers after each item refer to? I hope it's not the calories. Thanks!
vodka dinners in brighton beach??
So even though Tatiana sells vodka, they don't mind if you BYOB? That would save a lot of $$!
1920s cocktails
Monkey Gland. A little unusual but still a crowd pleaser and very 20s.

Favorite Brewed Coffee in Park Slope
Sit and Wonder in Prospect Heights serves Stumptown - it's on Washington and St. Marks... can't think of any in Park Slope offhand.
PANCAKES! in Park Slope Area.
Cheryl's on Underhill right by Grand Army Plaza has amazing pancakes with bananas and real whipped cream... just had them this morning. Definitely a walk from 4th and 10th though.
Cotaldo Pizza on Vanderbilt
Haven't tried the pizza, but the fried calimari hero is delicious! I agree with ginsbera though, canned mushrooms would be a turn off.
Favorite Rays Pizza
The Ray's on 6th and 11th is still great as long as you stick to a plain slice. Chewy crust, slightly sweet sauce, lots of cheese. Everything else there sits for a while and is awful.
fish tacos?
Yes! But a little fancier. Batter fried with cabbage, a slice of avocado, cilantro, radish, and some aioli at the bottom. Had one again today...
fish tacos?
Just had the fish tacos at Cabrito on Carmine. I think they're even better than Mercadito, and only $3 at happy hour.
Brooklyn Fare now open
I stopped by today to see how it looked. I don't know if they're not fully stocked yet, but I was pretty disappointed by the grocery selection. It didn't seem any better than a Gristedes. I guess I was expecting something more similar to Whole Foods with brands like Satur Farms and Ronnybrook. The cheese, meat, and fish looked good though and I'm glad to hear the prepared food is tasty. I'll have to go back and try it.
Best Burrito in NY?
Taqueria de los Muertos on Washington between St. Marks and Prospect in Prospect Heights has a quite good, though not entirely authentic SF style burrito. The beans and rice taste right and the meat is moist if not quite as flavorful as some of the best in the Bay. They put their tortillas on the grill instead of steaming them, and they don't wrap them in foil, but other than that... pretty damn tasty. Proportions good, not too goopy with sour cream and guac. I think the owner and the cooks are from California. Definitely better than La Taqueria and Rachel's in Park Slope (WHO PUT LETTUCE IN THE BURRITOS)
Trader Joes 14th St- when is it not a madhouse?
It's usually pretty dead after 9 on Fridays and Saturdays. People with lives aren't at TJs. That being said, the one in Brooklyn is never that crowded.
What's up with Noo Na?
It's the same owners, but they're changing it to a bar called Cornelius. I read a blurb about it in TimeOut. Said it will specialize in whiskeys and have food. I'm excited as I live a block away. I liked NooNa, but I feel like I will go to Cornelius a lot. I think it actually might be opening tonight.
