Brooklyn Food & Drink Round-Up

Lobster Pushers Take to the Streets
Brooklyn Flea favorite Red Hook Lobster Pound hired Suzannah Drake of DLAND Studios to draw up this potential lobster cart, “complete with faux lobster tail made from parachute material stretched over aluminum,” says Grub Street. The Lobster Pound is one of the many eateries that are vying to opening a concession stand at Brooklyn Bridge Park… In other crustacean news, the proprietor of Greenpoint’s Underground Lobster Pound has assumed a new identity to peddle his not-quite-legal homemade lobster rolls. Thrillist shares a photo of the Lobster Pusher Man in full regalia, which includes a life-size golden lobster claw medallion (Illustration by DLAND Studios via Grub Street.)

More Changes for Mamary Joints
Jim Mamary’s Lincoln Park Tavern (in the old Fly Fish space at 49 Lincoln Road in PLG) is opening this week, the New York Times reports. The paper also mentions that Mamary closed Pomme de Terre about a week ago (much to the dismay of many Ditmas Park Blog readers), and has “plans to reopen it as a gastropub in late spring.”

More Brooklyn Openings
Sushi Tatsu opens its fourth location on the corner of Bedford and Jefferson Avenues, bringing Bed Stuy its first sushi joint, says Bed-Stuy Blog… The New York Times and Eater report on St. Anselm (355 Metropolitan Avenue, Williamsburg), which will be serving calves’ brains, neck bones, marrow poppers, veal heart steak, deep-fried hot dogs, and other goodies when it opens on April 19… And Hawthorne Street reports that the owners of The Farmers Diner are looking for investors to help them open a “restaurant to be open 24/7, [with] a separate take-out station with prepared meals (a la Whole Foods), and a full bar” at 552 Flatbush Avenue in PLG.

After the jump: Dram, Mission Dolores, a new wine bar for the Columbia Street Waterfront, and Earth Day at Habana Outpost…

Recently Reviewed: Dram
177 South 4th Street, Williamsburg; (718) 486-DRAM
“During a recent visit, the place was almost completely packed with merry imbibers, and the unassuming Chadwick told us about his idea for Dram, which features a different cocktail menu every few days and a rotating staff of bartenders who do time at other cocktail hotspots like Death & Co., Clover Club, and Flatiron Lounge. [Owner Tom] Chadwick sees his role as ‘curating’ the talent behind the bar, and a tiny kitchen area in the corner will soon serve as a ‘sort of DJ booth’ for a variety of rotating chefs.” – Gothamist

Quick Bites
The Brooklyn Paper commends the beer selection at Mission Dolores… Petite Crevette owner Neil Ganic is taking over the Coffee Den (on the corner of Hicks and Union), which will continue serving coffee during the day, but “will become a wine bar at night. This is good news for patrons of the tiny Petite Crevette, which has no liquor license, and has no place to wait for a table other than the sidewalk,” Lost City reports… Habana Outpost is hosting a kid-friendly Earth Day celebration this Saturday, April 17, says Clinton Hill Blog.
