Coming Soon: Prime Meats
465 Court St., at Luquer St., Carroll Gardens; (718) 254-0327
New York magazine describes Prime Meats, the forthcoming restaurant from the owners of Frankies 457 Sputino, as “a tribute to great restaurants of the past, and a bid for modern-day destination status. The bar room will open first, followed by an adjacent dining room, an upstairs speakeasy, and a garden.” Eater adds that the space will also encompass “small retail booth around the corner. The dining room and storefront, still under construction now, should be ready to go in the next month… The tap room is now open on the weekends and can be accessed for the time being through Frankies 457.”
Coming Soon: Shwarma
Chowhound wetwax reports: “Just a heads-up that the tiny space on 16th St and PPW (formerly Sariwa and the 16th St Gourmet) is about to reopen as ‘Shawarma.’ The owners are from Egypt and very friendly — definitely will have the usual Middle Eastern fare, and possibly some special regional dishes (Um Ali, maybe?)”
A New Restaurant for Court Street?
Pardon Me For Asking noticed “signs of life at former restaurant Caffé Carciofo at 248 Court Street. Currently, a restaurant/ wine liquor license has been applied for by a certain ‘Bread and Butter Development Group, LLC’. Does anyone know anything more?”
After the jump: Moim‘s recession special, Red Hook’s Home/Made, new Calexico signage, Brooklyn’s best hot wings, table service at Park Slope’s Get Fresh, and some love for the Lovin’ Cup Cafe…
Moim‘s Recession Special
Chowhound famdoc says, “Moim (Garfield Pl. and Seventh Ave., ‘Modern Korean’) has a $25 prix-fixe dinner special on Tuesday and Wednesday nights only. Choice of 3 apps (including the from the Korean tapa menu), 3 mains (including Bi Bim Bop) and 3 drinks (including a tall glass of Hite, Korean lager). Good deal, good food, nice joint, good service.”
Red Hook Furniture Shop Goes Foodie
293 Van Brunt Street (between King & Pioneer), Red Hook; (347) 223-4135
“The owners of Tini are converting their furniture shop Home/Made into a furniture-shop-cum-restaurant, and they joke that someone will be able to buy your chair out from under you. (Hopefully they’ll let you finish your meal first?) There’s already a kitchen in situ and a garden in back, so this new spot—right across from LeNell’s ‘Wine + Likker’—should be open within the next couple of weeks.” [Shecky’s]
Quick Bites
A Brooklyn Life notes that Calexico has replaced the old Schnack signage… Yelpers rate the best hot wings in Brooklyn… The New York Times reports that the Park Slope takeout spot Get Fresh Table and Market has started serving in-house breakfast, lunch and brunch, and will start serving dinner on January 16… The Lovin’ Cup Cafe officially opened on Monday at 93 North 6th Street in Williamsburg, serving “honest American food” until 4a.m., an extensive bourbon selection, and a weekend “Recession Brunch,” with every item on the menu priced at $6, including their signature bourbon French toast.
dirty hipster, I still have my Mike Quick jersey, but it’s boxed up somewhere and I couldn’t be bothered to find it so I dug up my old Bobby Clarke #16 Flyers jersey when I went to an Eagles game this year. At the time, everyone was wearing either Eagles or Phillies shirts, but I received many shout outs from old school Broad Street Bully fans.
I think that’s a collector’s item hipster. Just don’t wear it down in Philly!!!!
Hahaha dave – I still have my green owens jersey, what an ill advised purchase!!
The only place I will wait in line for is Dmitri’s on So. 3rd St. in Philly. But they have a similar deal as cobblehiller explained here…they will call you at the bar across the Street when your table is ready.
Is Frankie’s a BYOB?????
And so goes the full on Manhattanization of Brooklyn. I miss the days when there ware no restuarants in Brooklyn that you had to stand in line for (with the possible excpetion of Peter Luger’s + Patsy Grimaldi’s). It’s just not worth it.
I’m wearing my Eagles hat all week hipster. Haven’t seen any Giants hats!!!!
Hell yeah! Go Eagles!
Is anyone going to any bar Sunday for the games????
I actually went to Essence (cor of Atlantic & Troy)two weekends ago on Sunday but they didn’t open until 5:00. It was a pretty decent place with just a few older guys there. I suspect it gets a younger crowd Fridays and Saturdays though. There’s an area for a band to set up. Food was a cut above ordinary bar food as well.
I think you know where this place is MM. I think I mentioned it once before in asking anyone if they’ve ever been there.
The menu looks good and not expensive. I’m a sucker for a cheese course for dessert.
