IT'S GREAT to have so much ink made available to Clinton Hill & Fort Greene businesses and people. However, as a long-time resident and lover of the neighborhood, I must say I am concerned about the number of articles I’ve seen stating there wasn’t a decent this or that in the neighborhood pre-2000. In fact, back in 1999 I expressed this concern on the New York Times editorial page. That said, here’s the latest yummy press on food & drink in the neighborhood.
It’s Official! Smashburger is coming to Fort Greene. The chain known for offering branch-specific burgers is scheduled to open at 80 DeKalb Avenue | Rockwell/Hudson, in mid-April. And yes, there will be a Brooklynburger.
In case you haven’t heard, Greene-Ville Garden is now open at 373 Myrtle Myrtle Avenue | Clermont/Adelphi.
Chef Eddie Huang will be in the house on February 2 & 3 for a Chinese New Year Celebration at No. 7.
Businessman, author and rapper, Jay-Z, has invested in Fulton Street chicken spot, Buffalo Boss, where fried Twinkies, Snickers and Oreos are on the menu.
Mullanes Bar and Grill makes the cut in Brooklyn Paper’s “Burgers that won’t break the bank.”
WTF gets an extensive shout out in New York Press for it’s coffee and coffeemakers.
And just so you know….The Eat, Drink and Be Literary series starts at BAMcafé beginning January 27. Each evening will include a dinner buffet, followed by a reading, discussion and book-signing.
Cheers! & Bon Appétit!
