Now Open (and Laptop-Free): The Rabbithole
352 Bedford Avenue (between South 4th and South 3rd Streets), Williamsburg; (718) 782-0910
Gothamist reports: “From the ashes of the beloved Read Cafe in Williamsburg (that space is now occupied by the decidedly un-funky El Beit coffee shop) comes owner Laurence Elliott’s new baby, The Rabbithole… When the full kitchen is running (Elliott says he’s a week or two away on that) there will be breakfast, lunch and dinner; for now you’ll have to settle for panini, sandwiches, assorted salads, espresso and tea.” Elliott doesn’t have a liquor license yet, so can bring your own bottle of wine — but don’t even think about bringing your computer. The Rabbithole doesn’t have Wi-Fi because Elliott “doesn’t like seeing people on their laptops.”

A New Cafe for Boerum Hill?
One Eater reader wants to know what’s up with the space at Pacific and Bond Streets in Boerum Hill. A tipster responds: “apparently it’s going to be a cafe/restaurant, and they plan to start serving coffee in 3 weeks. they’re waiting on some permits, apparently. the space was open this weekend and is really beautiful inside, a complete 180 from its former life as the ghetto bodega with the man on the chair parked outside.”

Los Pollitos Renamed “La Stalla”
499 Myrtle Avenue (near Ryerson Street), Clinton Hill
“A reader tipped me off to the fact that Los Pollitos on Myrtle has mysteriously been renamed! What gives? I’m pretty sure it’s still owned by the Los Pollitos folks, since the Los Pollitos dessert menu is still hanging in the window. Remember how packed LP was when it first opened?! What’s going on here?” [Clinton Hill Blog]

After the jump: Sweet Melissa’s Cremerie opens, the Times hits the Moxie Spot, and the Porkchop Express talks about the new look of the Red Hook ball fields…

Now Open: Sweet Melissa’s Cremerie
276 Court Street (between Douglass and Butler), Cobble Hill; 718-855-3410
The new ice cream shop adjacent to Sweet Melissa opened over the weekend, and Vittles Vamp shares a few (somewhat blurry) shots of the menu. Looks like they’re serving Belgian waffles, shakes, egg creams, malteds, ice cream sodas, and sundaes. Salli Vates confirms the price of their “big Belgian waffles with two scoops of ice cream, homemade whipped cream and your choice of topping” — $10.95.

The Moxie Spot Caters to the Stroller Set
81-83 Atlantic Avenue (near Hicks Street); (718) 923-9710
“With galvanized steel walls, copper-topped tables and waist-high chalk boards, the effect is something like a Chuck E. Cheese for hipsters… The house-roasted Chinese pork can be too sweet and dry, but the Peking duck fares better, tucked into little wrappers with scallions and hoisin for $5.95. Meatloaf comes in a compact portion with good hand-mashed potatoes. Grass-fed beef also shows up as a hanger steak sandwich that is drowned in red-onion relish.” [NY Times]

The Ball Fields’ New Look
The Porkchop Express posted updated info on the status of the Red Hook ball fields. Here are the highlights, in blogger J. Slab’s own words:

• The Red Hook Soccer Field Food Tents will look very different: out with the tents, in with the city-mandated mobile food vending trucks.
• The Red Hook Soccer Field Food Tents will taste the same: as of our interview, each of last year’s vendors is planning on returning.
• The Red Hook Soccer Field Food Tents might expand their days and months of operation: the new permits are valid year-round.
• The Red Hook Soccer Field Food Tents need your support more than ever: the new permits, fees and operating costs have more-than-quadrupled their expenses.
• The Red Hook Soccer Field Food Tents are still not open: we’re hoping for mid-June, and we’ll let you know ASAP.
