Residents of this southern area of Smith Street in Carroll Gardens are excited to welcome Brooklyn Habit, a new coffee spot that just opened at 405 Smith Street on the corner of 4th Street. It was very busy when we rode by yesterday! It hasn’t been around very long so only has a handful of […]
We are very accustomed, although saddened, to seeing small businesses close up shop only to be replaced with a Dunkin Donuts or some other chain fast food restaurant. We were not surprised to see Subway open up at 75 Atlantic years ago but still upset as we feel a chain shop puts a dent in […]
Have you stopped by Rita in Red Hook? Mary Ellen Amato who was the former executive chef at Court Street Grocers decided to pursue the solo project at the former home/made spot at 293 Van Brunt. Rita is an inviting space with delicious Spanish influenced items including: Torrijas (Spanish French Toast), La Mallorquina and a porridge […]
The space at 215 Columbia Street was most recently Toby’s Public House, a pizza restaurant with a couple of other locations around Brooklyn and Manhattan that are now closed as well. They were lovely neighbors with delicious pizza and were sorry to see them close up shop. The space was vacant then under renovations for […]

We’ve been so looking forward to the opening of Nitehawk in the old Pavilion theater site at 15th Street in Park Slope, which is set to open this year, and now we have another opening to get psyched about. We just heard that Ample Hills signed a lease at 192 Prospect Park West right next to […]
We love making up our own activities in order to explore Brooklyn by foot and there is no better way during the chilly winter months than grabbing some friends and touring the best spots in Brooklyn for hot chocolate. Now, there are definitely amazing places all over the borough but we had to stick to […]
We were browsing Facebook yesterday and saw this message (also below) posted the day before from one of our favorite Red Hook establishments, Hope and Anchor. We remember many a night grabbing a bite, having a drink or singing our hearts out at Karaoke here and are so sad to see that they’ll be closing […]
The holidays are approaching and by the end of this week many of us will be finished shopping. Many holiday markets have come and gone and now we will only have to think about what tasty morsels we’ll be serving for holiday parties or family dinners next week. Ordering hams or turkeys from places like Whole […]
We love trying new restaurants and, though it took us a little while to make it over to Camperdown Elm on 7th Avenue and 15th Street, we finally tried them out for dinner on Friday night and enjoyed every bite (and sip!). They have been open since late June and have already become a neighborhood […]
