Where can I get this amazing double oven for small spaces?
I found this one: RICHMOND550DF
but it is a U.K. product. Anyone seen anything similar here? Or anyone know about importing a product like this?
thanks!

sunset park tips
Thanks for all the SP recommendations; have been here for 6 months and am still trying to figure it all out...
I will say this: Pizza by the Park's margarita pizza is one of the best "slices" I've ever had! The rest of the pizzerias are pretty standard. They also seem to have an extensive menu of burgers-including a bison burger! have yet to try...
Restaurants in the Boroughs like Blue Hill at Stone Barns
While Franny's menu is not exactly similar to Blue Hill, they do use all locally grown, sustainable ingredients. I know there are some haters out there, but this is the only restaurant in S. Brooklyn that is consistently good. Everything I try there is fantastic. Yes, the wines by the glass are overpriced.
Applewood, RoseWater, Stone Park Cafe, or Convivium?
Al Di La is better than all three combined.
though Applewood is pretty good.
Sunset Park Recommendations?
I'm moving from Park Slope to Sunset Park, and as silly as it sounds, am nervous about food options. I've scoured this site for recommendations, but can't really find many who have good things to say about restaurants in SP.
Any thoughts?
Thank!
Catering in Park Slope?
Hello!
I'm hosting a very casual affair (square dancing) in park slope and am looking for some cheap catering.
Big trays of pasta is what I have in mind. Don't need staff on site, just need a decent and reasonable place where I can go and pick up some trays of food.
Thanks!
Franny's, I'm over it
I don't think $25 pp is a lot either; in fact, I expect to pay around $40pp with wine, dessert, etc. But if you're getting out of Franny's at under $25, then you are def. not having wine (which begins at $9 a glass and tops out around $12), and you most certainly are not having an app. So, you are right, $25 is not a lot--but it is for a persona-size pizza, tax and tip.
don't get me wrong, i started this post by saying that I have deep affection for the food and wine at Franny's. But seriously ridiculous prices, and as is clear from these posts, they are not responsive to their customers' requests...
Franny's, I'm over it
I used to love Franny's. I was there the first month they opened, and loved how the pizzas changed frequently. I could even stomach the prices for the exceptional quality.
However, while the appetizers have gotten more interesting, it seems that the pizza menu *(the real draw) hardly changes. Well, there was the recent change where they took the very excellent provolone picante pizza w/ roasted onions, and stopped roasting the onions; now they are raw. Not worth ordering.
Further, they used to do fabulous things with pancetta that went way beyond the now-predictable meat pizzas that have been on the menu for ages.
Please, bring the pancetta back--especially the one w/ the fried egg.
ok, finally. Franny's has great wines...but $12 a glass? Some really solid $7-10 options would be much appreciated.
all that being said, amazing pizza and unusual and nicely selected wines...but please, please start listening to your regular customers.
thanks.
