Amazing. GF took me here for my birthday on Fri and I know one of the sous chefs so I let him know we were coming in. We almost had to be rolled out, it was amazing. As soon as we sat he sent us the Crunchy Rice Cakes and Crispy Shrimp. Crispy shrimp is your basic rock shrimp tempura, which I love, and it was great. The rice cakes were amazing. They were topped with minced spicy tuna. Then...

what a great time and steps away from my home ate some great food, drank some horrible wine, but the 20 + brooklyn breweries made up for it great music and all smiles all around did anyone get a chance to go over the weekend?

Place is awesome, view amazing. Took my dad out there for lunch last Friday.....got a $25/person lunch menu, includes one appetizer, one entree, & one dessert. The apps alone filled us up..... Had the following: Appetizer Guacamole del Barri Roasted pineapple & mangoes, red onions, jalapeño, avocado and traditional crispy plantain chips

So i've been going here for a while now, since its usualyl the only spot in Williamsburg that is open late.....and its great for a late night fix, but the food isn't really that great. the meatballs are bland and tasteless, and i don't believe its simmered in the sauce you ask for. The meatballs @ Subway taste better imo.

The other night after basketball I was looking for something fast to eat, and I stopped at this place around the block from my apartment on Austin Street. I am not really one of those Organic types but I was in the mood for a burger ( something unhealthy) after running around for two hours. I got an ostrich burger, sweet potatoe croqs and a root beer. I never drink soda but I was thirsty...

I often get asked, How does one boil water? For many years I have taught a class on this and charge top dollar for this information. So I decided to share this information to you the NCC community for free. You too can boil water in just 6 easy steps (1) Choose a pot that's large enough to hold the amount of water you want to boil, and has a lid that fits. (2) ...

anyone ever been?

found it on the intrewebs My 3-step HEALTHY crispy skinless baked wing recipe! Step one - Bake chicken wings with the skin on in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes (or just until the wings are completely cooked through and the fat has started to render) Let cool until you can handle them without burning your hands and remove the skin. This is best done while they are still a bit...

What does everyone use?? Got the grinder built in to ours and I usually just go with 8 o'clock bean regular or Columbia whole beans...Been using it for a while though may wanna try something different.

Went for first time over the weekend and tried the pork belly and the fried oyster baus. Pretty good, but not as great as I expected. If you like baos (steamed pork buns, you'll probably like there. Cheap and good for on the go.

Been wanting to go here for a while. NO reservations, and they open at 5. Lucky wife got out early and put us on the list early. Had a great dinner there Friday which included the best sliders ever made. Started with some cocktails. Had the Pacquiao Punch, which was Kraken Dark RUm (favorite rum) and a bunch of other shit. For appetizers had these pretzel skin pork dumplings that were off...

Few places around the city. Healthy food. Just tried it today, pretty effing awesome. Anyone else try this?

Hey all. It's been a really long time. I've still been traveling the world. I remember when I first announced it on here that I was about to travel. Just about three years from today is when I left. In the last three years, I've been developing a bunch of different things that has kept me on the road. My latest project that was approved today by Apple is called Eat The World. It’s an app that...

Omg, I go thru a can in like 4 days

I just started a new job this week and I don't want to spend a fortune on going out to lunch every day. I need (different) ideas on lunches to bring to work, per favore. :silly

Bad news for people who thought they’d found their dream diet — Nutella is not a health food. Ferrero, the makers of the creamy chocolate and hazelnut spread, has settled two class-action lawsuits with consumers who sued over the company’s advertising claims that it was a good-for-you treat. The company will pay out over $3 million to consumers in California and nationwide. Shoppers were...

New favorites: Turkey Burgers Turkey Jerkey Spicy Shrimp Baos Pork Shumai Party meatballs (comparable to the ikea meatballs, lol) Low Sodium Vegetable Juice Trail Mix - dried mango, almond and cashew

I believe there are several in the city. Usually not a fan of thick crust, but had a signature slice (artichoke, cheese, a little bacon, I think) from here on Saturday and it was out of this world. They only serve 3 types of slices (margherita, the artichoke, and I forgot the third). SLices are huge. 1 is a meal unless you are super hungry or just a fat bastard. Def worth checking out.

Pretty much the FU to the ban of the orig 4 lokos. 1 squeeze = eqiv of a red bull. Don't add to booze on the label lol OK

Possible the best forkin' restaurant in Brooklyn. Had dinner there Friday with another couple on Friday, and everything was amazing. We had: Seared Pork Carnitas -parmiggiano-herb tuille, cayenne-roasted peanuts, chipotle creme fraiche, watercress, jicama Roasted brussel sprouts salad - bacon, arugula, poached egg, caesar dressing, parmiggiano Zucchini Bloom filled with manchego...

Hey guys, Quick question to my Bay Ridge crew on this site, what would be a good restaurant to hold a 40/50 person post baptism/1st birthday lunch on a Sunday afternoon? Preferably a place with a private room and good food. Thanks!

Pretty dope Japanese Tapa, SUshi Bar in Williamsburg. Good saki selection, too. We had the fluke carpaccio, tuna tar tar, pork belly with wasabi and the party bomb (assorted sushi). All were fantastic.
