Hey JBR, near BAM I like Bati for Ethiopian, Café Lafayette, Frank's Cocktail Lounge and Greenlight Bookstore.

nothing good right in the vicinity but franny's and Romans are the two best italian joints in the city and they're each within a 15 minute walk

max, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:09 (nine years ago) link

Also kaz an nou is a great French Caribbean place sorta nearby on 6th and dean. Haven't been in a while but food was great as of 18 months ago.

max, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:10 (nine years ago) link

show didn't get out until pretty late but ty for the recs and i will keep them in mind for next time (also franny's rules).

Interesting if true

caek, Thursday, 11 September 2014 09:42 (nine years ago) link

franny's is dead to me tbh. haven't tried marco's yet.

dmr, Thursday, 11 September 2014 09:45 (nine years ago) link

marcos is like a less good romans. no situations where frannys wouldnt be preferable.

max, Thursday, 11 September 2014 10:31 (nine years ago) link

Anyone else been to colonia verde?

caek, Thursday, 11 September 2014 11:11 (nine years ago) link

I had a pretty good dinner there once

max, Thursday, 11 September 2014 12:29 (nine years ago) link

hey guys Locanda Vini e Olii on Gates is really nice too. but it can get pricey it's true.

chinavision!, Thursday, 11 September 2014 12:59 (nine years ago) link

frannys is good but pretty over priced for what u get imho

lag∞n, Thursday, 11 September 2014 15:25 (nine years ago) link

i read about this new Senegalese place in Crown Hts in the Times yesterday that sounds p dope

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 11 September 2014 15:27 (nine years ago) link

u know what place in cr heights is fn bomb that jamican restaurant the islands, the food is super legit and its like a handmade boat inside

lag∞n, Thursday, 11 September 2014 15:30 (nine years ago) link

what else is really good as far as caribbean food around there thats more contempo but also v chill and not very pricey is gladys, gladys is bomb

lag∞n, Thursday, 11 September 2014 15:34 (nine years ago) link

frannys has always been overpriced but I was willing to do it because the food was good. but I had a middling to bad meal there the last time ... not feeling their new space either.

co-sign the islands and kaz an nou

also chuko & bar chuko (across street from each other on vanderbilt) are both v good

dmr, Thursday, 11 September 2014 18:35 (nine years ago) link

never had a bad meal at franny's which is priced right with the rest of Brooklyn restaurants... Too expensive but not more so than its peers imo

max, Thursday, 11 September 2014 20:06 (nine years ago) link

Love islands but it's way too far from bam to be worth it as a pre or post show meal

Chuko and bar chuko are probably close enough and both good. I've never eaten at chuko without a 45 minute plus wait tho

max, Thursday, 11 September 2014 20:07 (nine years ago) link

jbr already went to bam yesterday, I thought we were just riffin now

although last time I went to bam we went to bar chuko first

havent had trouble with long waits at chuko but thats mostly cause we eat dinner freakishly early now with a kid in tow

dmr, Thursday, 11 September 2014 21:21 (nine years ago) link

hot bird in Brooklyn after 5pm PS it will be well after 5pm IMO bit hey I'm only a tourist what do I know

fedora, wherever it may find her (darraghmac), Friday, 12 September 2014 14:33 (nine years ago) link

I mean probably, I do have to do some shopping this arvo but I'll try to get there and secure a table and someone better join me before my phone dies.

Orson Wellies (in orbit), Friday, 12 September 2014 14:57 (nine years ago) link

Or I run out of Candy Crush lives, whichever comes second.

Orson Wellies (in orbit), Friday, 12 September 2014 14:57 (nine years ago) link

yeah, after 5. ie, by 10. jeez, ppl...

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Friday, 12 September 2014 15:05 (nine years ago) link

probably can't make it, but maybe

arvo!

mookieproof, Friday, 12 September 2014 16:25 (nine years ago) link

we'll be toddling along but prob not there til after 6ish

fedora, wherever it may find her (darraghmac), Friday, 12 September 2014 20:36 (nine years ago) link

awful bunch

fedora, wherever it may find her (darraghmac), Saturday, 13 September 2014 03:54 (nine years ago) link

hope you and the missus are having a good time in NYC -- did you get to go to San Gennaro downtown at all?!?

had a ball thks

walked thru the neighbourhood mid St gennaro setup and got a flavour but not the festivities themselves alas

fedora, wherever it may find her (darraghmac), Sunday, 14 September 2014 03:35 (nine years ago) link

I have four days til the dripdrip starts again, if anyone wants to drink after work tonight

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Friday, 26 September 2014 16:22 (nine years ago) link

don't drink but will pour one out for your chemo being manageable dude. bon chance.

the other song about butts in the top 5 (forksclovetofu), Friday, 26 September 2014 18:38 (nine years ago) link

Not imbibing either, but where will you be, on the offchance I am in that part of town?

Dear Catastrophe Theory Waitress (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 26 September 2014 18:47 (nine years ago) link

We haven't decided? And I haven't showered or left the house yet anyway.

Cherry Tree? Clinton Hill? I'm not very imaginative.

Orson Wellies (in orbit), Friday, 26 September 2014 18:49 (nine years ago) link

Clinton Hill is too far off the beaten path for me. I could do 4th Ave or Flatbushy or something Slopey like Commonwealth.

(that Lavender Lake place requires a little too much hiking tonight too)

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Friday, 26 September 2014 18:52 (nine years ago) link

Okay Cherry Tree then. At 6.30?

Orson Wellies (in orbit), Friday, 26 September 2014 18:53 (nine years ago) link

i can, even prob 6:15.

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Friday, 26 September 2014 18:56 (nine years ago) link

I'm here, they have no cider of any kind. Waiting for Morbs at which time I will suggest moving to 4th Ave across the st.

Orson Wellies (in orbit), Friday, 26 September 2014 22:21 (nine years ago) link

Going to richline by mccarren in an hour

calstars, Friday, 26 September 2014 22:48 (nine years ago) link

three weeks pass...

can anyone recommend a dentist in downtown and surrounding brooklyn (ft g, boerum, cobble, clinton) or manhattan below about 34?

must be ok with british teeth, UHC insurance.

caek, Wednesday, 22 October 2014 02:28 (nine years ago) link

i was directed to matthew lieberman of park slope by max and have not been disappointed

mookieproof, Wednesday, 22 October 2014 02:33 (nine years ago) link

you both have beautiful teeth so that is good enough for me

caek, Wednesday, 22 October 2014 03:01 (nine years ago) link

caek, Wednesday, 22 October 2014 03:02 (nine years ago) link

lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 October 2014 03:58 (nine years ago) link

lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 October 2014 03:58 (nine years ago) link

caek, i hope you got my invite to World Series FAP last night; i thought it was fitting after you suffered through minor-league Leprechaun Night in Coney Island.

this horrible, rotten slog to rigor mortis (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 23 October 2014 16:26 (nine years ago) link

caek, Signature Smile in Brooklyn Heights is pretty good -- nice clean office with very up-to-date equipment and the staff are nice. Don't know if they take UHC or not.

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Thursday, 23 October 2014 16:28 (nine years ago) link

i got the invite thanking u but i have been snowed under at work lately.

i have an appointment at max/mookie's dentist next month. 😁

caek, Friday, 24 October 2014 04:03 (nine years ago) link

he takes my insurance although he mentioned paperwork being an issue sometimes with them so we'll see. signature smile is next on the list.

caek, Friday, 24 October 2014 04:03 (nine years ago) link
