    Glow: Out-of-the-Ordinary Thai in Bay Ridge

    It’s no secret that Brooklyn, and New York more generally, is overrun with Thai restaurants. According to Urban Spoon’s data, t

    Pink Pasta at Kiwiana

    (Photo: Sarah Telzak) What: Fettucini with roasted beet and pecorino sauce, rocket and pine nuts Outta Pocket: $16 Where: Kiwiana | 847 Union Street, Park Slope Why: This pile of fuscia-colored, beat-flavored fettucini boasts supple texture and delicate creaminess.  The dish is luxurious without being too rich, and has prominent, but not overbearing flavors.  Mellow waves of beat, hits of bitter pepperiness from the arugula, a coat of salty silkiness from the Italian sheep's milk cheese sauce, and oily pine…

    Whole Foods Is Coming to the ‘Burg

    Brooklyn Whole Foods number one was scheduled to be erected by the Gowanus River years ago.  Well we’ve been waiting patiently (or maybe impatiently), and there’s no oversized grocery store to be found.  Yes, this is annoying and disappointing, but Brooklynites may have reason to perk up.  Yesterday the NY Post reported that a Whole Foods will open on Bedford Avenue, in Williamsburg.  So start looking forward to salad bars with chicken tikka masala, flaky baked goods, and a lovely soup display, at whole (pun intended)…

    Brooklyn Grange Expands Up

    (Photo: The Real Deal) Hmm…for what should 45,000 square feet worth of superfluous rooftop space be used?  Why, an urban garden full of edible glory, of course!  This is precisely what is slated to happen at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.  Brooklyn Grange, currently located in Long Island City, will expand to their namesake borough.  They plan to grow vegetables, fruit, and herbs atop a massive building in Brooklyn’s modern industrial park.  The roof will also host a greenhouse.  Andrew Kimball, head…

    A Refreshing Cheese Sandwich

    (Photo: Sarah Telzak) Gorge on This:  Brie, Apple, and Arugula Sandwich Outta Pocket: $7.50 Go Here: Valley Shepard Creamery |  211 7th Avenue, Park Slope Why: Cheese sandwiches are ordinarily lipid-overkill.  They glisten with grease and leave behind a stream of unpleasant side effects in their wake: an overly full stomach, lethargy, and guilt.  This 'wich, however, entirely avoids those consequences.  Layers of millimeter thin slices of tart granny smith apples, and spindly, peppery leaves of arugula counter the richness…

    Updated Bagel n’ Lox

    (Photo: Sarah Telzak) Gorge on This: Pesto Cream Cheese Lox Outta Pocket: $9 Go Here: Lokal | 905 Lorimer Street, Greenpoint Why: Brooklynites love eating modern adaptations of traditional immigrant foods (i.e. Mile End and Zito's Sandwich Shoppe), and this delightful brunch treat wholeheartedly embodies this penchant. It's a thoughtful (and very delicious) adaptation of the classic Ashkenazi boiled bagel and smoked fish speciality. This updated rendering features a soft, toasty plain bagel, which is schmeared with garlicky, basil flecked…

    Perfectly Constructed Yogurt

    (Photo: via Sarah Telzak) Gorge on this: Key Lime Pie Yogurt Outta pocket: $4.25 Go Here: Culture: An American Yogurt Company | 331 Fifth Ave, Park Slope Why: You'll be hard pressed to find yogurt better than this.  A veritable key lime pie in low-cal yogurt form, this frozen treat will make any citrus fan, yogurt enthusiast, or dieter damn content.  Upon the very first spoonful, the palindrome of ingredients produces a cohesive swirl of rich, tart, and sweet.  First…

    The Perfect Drunk Man Noodle

    (Photo: Sarah Telzak) Gorge on this: Drunk Man Noodle Outta Pocket: $10 Go here: Spice | 61A 7th Avenue, Park Slope Why: It’s hard to go wrong with a Thai noodle dish.  Savory noodles, your protein of choice, and a charming sauce, rarely lead to dining dissatisfaction.  Sometimes, though, a noodle dish goes above and beyond, and Drunk Man Noodle is a case of just that.  It’s got rich, yet supple broad rice noodles, three leading proteins that hail from both land…

    Sushi: Bizarre Blossoms Into Delicious

    Gorge on this: Blossom Roll Outta pocket: $10 Go here: Yamato | 168 Seventh Ave, Park Slope Why: Oftentimes sushi rolls that contain more than three major ingredients don't completely work; there's just too much happening.  The Blossom Roll, however, is one gigantic exception.  The filling features a hunk of shrimp enclosed by buttery tempura batter, a cube of tangy mango, and a dollop of cream cheese.  The roll is then topped by a sliver of avocado and a slice of sweet, succulent…
