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.

Interesting if true

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
