Speaking of good food – Gothamist has details on this Sunday’s TASTE Williamsburg Greenpoint event, which brings together many of the best restaurants and bars in North Brooklyn. The event is a fundraiser for Northside Town Hall, the conversion of the former Engine 212 building on Wythe Avenue into a community center.
Open Wide for a Taste of Williamsburg & Greenpoint
The Brooklyn Restaurant Awards
The L Magazine presents its list of best restaurants in Brooklyn. Plenty to choose from, and to agree or disagree with (I’ll have to try Maison Premiere again – first time around I was very underwhelmed by their oysters, in particular their ability to properly shuck them).
Presumably, the L’s readership is hip enough to know where all of these great restaurants are – the article omits addresses.
Fushimi on Driggs
Fushimi, the Asian Fusion restaurant with branches in Staten Island and Bay Ridge, is getting ready to sling sashimi in a new, 7,200-square-foot space on Driggs Avenue in Williamsburg. The restaurant revealed on its website that it plans to serve its Japanese specialties in an open bar under a 30-foot glass-enclosed ceiling, promising a “family-friendly, yet stylish setting that will appeal to upscale, late-night crowds, as well as families and hipsters alike.” LOL!
Fushimi* = Asian fusion, get it?
Coming soon to 475 Driggs, the new condo at the corner of North 10th.
