We may be biased because we used to rent an apartment from Andrew Tarlow and Mark Firth (and because an ad of theirs appears at right) but we thought today’s review in The Times of their Williamsburg eatery Marlow & Sons was right on. The two entrepreneurs have exhibited a remarkable ability to create restaurants (first at Diner, then Bonita, then Marlow) that offer pitch-perfect ambience and delicious food at reasonable price points. Nine times out of ten, that’s what we’re looking for when we want to step out for a bite. With the population on the South side of Williamsburg set to balloon in upcoming years, the trick is going to be getting a table at any of these places. Our solution? Showing up at six with the kids in tow. All we can ask for now is for the duo to expand their empire to Clinton Hill. Please!
