Streetlevel: A Name for Brooklyn Freemans?

Now that the news is out about the Freemans is out of the bag, one question remains: What will it be called? Well, we've got a clue courtesy of public filings. According to a liquor license application dated June 27, the name of the business is Vinegar Hill House. Think that's just a working name or the one that'll go above the door? A riff, perhaps, on the Soho House Update: Seems our speculation about this place has been close but not entirely on the mark. One of the partners in the new restaurant is also a co-owner in the Freemans Sporting Club barbershop, but not the Freemans restaurant; nor are the Freemans restaurant owners involved in the Vinegar Hill venture. Got it? Oh, and a name has not been decided upon yet.

I love Freeman's food but the staff can be rude at times and act a little too cool for school.

Still one of my favs.

" Brooklyn's most remote restaurant"

I think another blog said it was going to be called Adamson's Alley, which while a pretty mediocre name, makes sense because Harrison Alley - a private access road for the houses on the north side of Hudson Ave. entrance is around the corner.

oh goodie, more ironic mustaches and fedoras!!

fyi dates wrapped in bacon = devils on horseback. My friend and I got very ill from eating those at Freeman's a couple weeks ago...a 3 day colon cleanse, but damn, their grits are good!

offthegrid-

Guess I'm lucky. I've had at least 20 orders of those. And I don't share.

yeah, anything wrapped in bacon is pretty much a dream come true, except in my case. I forgive the food prep guy for forgetting to wash his hands. It happens.

no need to leave your house, here is the recipe:

1 package bacon... leanest possible
1 package whole pitted dates... you can use the ones with pits but you just have to remove them.
Goat cheese
Cut bacon slices in half
Cut date in half lengthwise - remove pit if necessary
Spread small amount of goat cheese inside date
Wrap bacon piece around the date
Lay all wrapped dates on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven on 400 until bacon is crispy

Janelle... are you suggesting folks should prepare a simple recipe akin to difficulty level of ants-on-a-log all by themselves?!?
