Events: Food Art at the Last Supper Festival in Bushwick Brooklyn

j f grossen / September 19, 2010

I dug around the NYC event sites and the dozens of email blasts for something to do on a waning summer (yes, its still summer damnit!) weekend and found The Last Supper Festival 2010. It purported to feature live bands, DJs, new media artists installations, experimental films, a writing salon, and other random performance art – sounded perfect. Liz and I would find these events throughout SF – many of them being Burning Man derivatives – and have been hard pressed to dig up the same type of ADD-inducing nights in NYC. I’m sure we’re just not in the right crowd.

Events: Randomly drinking a Norton at Pinkerton

j f grossen / July 8, 2010

I chose an out of the way place…a little wine bar name Pinkerton on the corner of ‘where the hell am i’ and ‘this doesn’t look like brooklyn’ street in Williamsburg. The intent was to meet up with a friend of a friend who just so happen to be in the wine importing / distributing biz just to get an idea of what it might take to bring in the delicious wines from Canada to share with our friends here in NYC.

Restaurants: Motorino: Perfect pizza?

liz humphreys / February 25, 2010

After Sam Sifton of the NY Times wrote that Motorino “serves the city’s best pizza” on February 17, I had to give it a try to see for myself. I’d been to a couple of the other trendy New York pizza places – Company, Keste and, of course, Franny’s, which is just down the block from our Brooklyn apartment – so while I’m by no means a pizza expert, I at least had some basis for comparison.

Restaurants: Mermaid Oyster Bar: Urban beach food in the wintertime

liz humphreys / February 23, 2010

I had expected the Mermaid Oyster Bar, on the edge of Greenwich Village, to look more like a ramshackle fish shack. Instead, it reminded me of an upscale Nantucket restaurant, its white walls covered with pictures of beachy-looking scenes and a specials board announcing the day’s oyster selections.

Restaurants: Socarrat Paella Bar: Scrape the bottom of the pan, please

liz humphreys / February 10, 2010

The restaurant is named after the crunchy, slightly caramelized rice that sticks to the bottom of the paella pan. Your server comes back at the end to scrap off the socarrat for everyone to enjoy — and it truly is the best part, crispy with a yummy nutty flavor.

Restaurants: En Japanese Brasserie: En-joyable eating

liz humphreys / January 26, 2010

I hadn’t eaten at En Japanese Brasserie in several years, during a New York Restaurant Week where all I remember is that we were served tastes in a Bento box and we saw Zac Posen. This time around, Jay had just eaten at En the week before and raved about the yumminess of the food, saying we needed to go back – and soon!
