Coming Soon to Greenpoint
Greenpointers shares the news that Paulie Gee’s is getting ready to fire up the pizza oven in the old Paloma space at 60 Greenpoint Avenue. (This bianco pizza photo is from Paulie’s flickr.) Greenpointers also notes that Van Leeuwen is opening an “ice cream and coffee shop with pastries… in the space to the right of the Manhattan Inn…sometime in February.”
More Brooklyn Openings and Rumors
Off the Presses notes that Mission Dolores is set to open corner of Fourth Avenue and Carroll Street “by late January, early February at the latest.” Brooklyn Based says that “Fatty ‘Cue, the Fatty Crab’s Brooklyn barbecue outpost on South 6th between Bedford and Berry… could open in as soon as a month.” BB also notes, “In Bed-Stuy, the owners of Saraghina… are working on opening a new place nearby. The focus? Fish.” On the Williamsburg tip, Eater takes note of a new place on North 5th and Berry called Mode Bistro and a new Uraguayan joint on South 1st & Roebling.
After the jump: New brews at Stinky Bklyn, 500 bottles of beer on the wall in Bay Ridge, the new Frankies cookbook, Katy Sparks news, and Martin Scorcese checks out Moto…
Brew News
Off the Presses says that the owners of Stinky Bklyn “have just gotten a beer license for their cheese shop… They plan to carry a select array of bottles and, if all goes well, the inevitable growlers.” Plus, the new BR Specialty Beer Store (201 Third Avenue at 72nd Street in Bay Ridge) is now offering 500 bottles of beer. All of our beers were rated 95 percent or higher on Beeradvocate.com, owner Dharmesh Chokshi told the Brooklyn Paper.
Quick Bites
You need a hard copy of this month’s Food & Wine to preview recipes from the forthcoming Frankies cookbook, but Grub Street is sharing a few recipes from their online archives… After a month-long stint, Katy Sparks has already left Bussaco, says Diner’s Journal… Dossier notes that Martin Scorcese directed a Chanel commercial outside Moto. We wonder if he was able to snag a piece of that date cake that everyone’s been talking about in our restaurant guide.
that pizzeria will be in the top ten once its open.

I just read that the BR beer guy is going to have Growler service!! No more running to Beirkraft in PS for our Growlers!!
WOOOHOOOO!!!!
What is the shelf life of a bottled beer?
I’d be pissed off if I ordered some fancy $12 beer made by belgian trappist monks and it tasted all skunky and metallic.
That BR place is right around the corner from my apartment. Damn, I picked the WRONG time to cut beer out of the diet!
I’m not sure what the guy from BR Specialty Beer Store is talking about when he says “All of our beers were rated 95 percent or higher on Beeradvocate.com”; beeradvocate.com rates beers on a scale of 1 to 5, and nothing has a composite score higher than 4.75, which is 95% of the maximum score of 5. For example, Westvleteren 12, considered by many to be one of the best beers in the world, is scored 4.62, which is 92.4% of 5. So, yeah, no idea where 95% came from.
mmmmmm 500 different beers. (said a la Homer Simpson)
Van Leeuwen in Greenpoint? Sweet!!
Where’s the red sauce????
I don’t know what that is… but it ain’t Pizza!
