11217 how DARE you put those toxic chemicals and smoke into the pristine cosmic air of park slope! have you no shame? what about the children?
*rob*
Yeah – I hear ya 11217 – Nothing goes better with beer than a stogie.
Have you been to Spuyten Duyvil lately? They expanded their backyard and it’s pretty damn nice.
LOVE Ghenet!!!
Bupe – aha! i wonder if I had one of those “warming drawers” all along as I have been using it to store baking tins!
“as there is no outdoor seating”
That might be be a deal breaker for me…I REALLY like to find places with outdoor smoking areas for when I’m drinking…Franklin Park, Spuyten Duyvil, High Dive, Commonwealth, even Union Hall….these are all places where I can have a drink AND a smoke. A definite plus, especially since I don’t smoke a lot and really want to when I have a beer.
Bupe: I agree…those are all pretty damn good. I might add Moim and Ghenet to that list as well.
Yeah – DB is worth checking out 11217 – prolly better on a cool fall evening as there is no outdoor seating
11217 – i went to draft barn a few months ago…but didn’t get the food. just had drinks. if you like beer, there are lots of options, so definitely check it out. otherwise, i wasn’t all that impressed. i thought it was fine enough, but i wouldn’t go out of my way to get there.
Draft Barn – NICE (and I don’t even like beer that much).
Gem – it’s a little drawer that’s actually standard in most drop-in ranges (people just use it for storage because they don’t read the manual). For built-in ovens, sometimes it’s standard, sometimes optional (ours was one big unit that included oven, the drawer, and a microwave – did I mention that I am not a great cook and having two ovens would have been utterly stupid?)
And I happen to love some places enough to call them spectacular: Al Di La, Applewood, Convivium, Blue Ribbon come to mind…

…was just there Sunday.
ha! so that’s what my dog was barking at in the window. (he always barks at white ladies with long blond hair for some reason)
*rob*
Yes, there IS always Al di La. And they serve brunch now…was just there Sunday. Another new favorite is Convivium Osteria. And I’ve already been to the new hot dog place, Bark a bunch of times. REALLY good.
Haven’t been down to Draft Barn…it hasn’t really been on my radar…should it be??
I do really like Franklin Park, though.
