Starbucks: No Air Conditioning, Free Coffee
The Park Slope Starbucks had to close down for the day because their air conditioning is on the blink and, according to one employee, “It’s. like. 102 degrees in there.” So what were two employees doing standing out on Seventh Avenue???

Good Bye for Now to the Greenpoint Food Market
Even in the throes of a major disappointment, a Brooklyn DIY business reaches out to its customers. That certainly is the case with the Greenpoint Food Market, a venue where independent cooks share prepared food with the public. Joanne Kim, founder of the Greenpoint Food Market, just sent out a letter to the Brooklyn media and others, about why she’s calling it quits. For now.
It seems that the food bazaar, which has been open for less than a year, received threats from city health officials because the cooks lack commercial food handling permits.
An event was planned for June 26th but that has been canceled. Over the jump is letter from Kim:
Park Slope Restaurant Alive and Kicking
I’ve been rooting for Bussaco, a lovely wine bar and restaurant on Park Slope’s Union Street, all along and it seems that things are working out. They’ve got a special going right now: Blue Point oysters and a glass of good wine for $16.
Anyone want to meet me over there?
You gotta have compassion for a restaurant that opens in the autumn of 2008. I mean, whoa, the restaurant biz isn’t for the faint hearted even in the best of times.
What’s Going on at Mack’s?
Mack’s on Seventh Avenue is gone. But what’s going in? I’ve seen some lights on in there and some activity — men with measuring sticks, that sort of thing.
Does anyone know what’s going on?

Sheep Station Vs. Black Sheep Pub
It’s funny how my brain works (or doesn’t).
A friend invited me (via Facebook) to a celebration of her birthday on Tuesday night at the Black Sheep Pub. Immediately I assumed she meant a bar/restaurant called Sheep Station on Fourth Avenue at the corner of Douglass Street.
Hepcat and I walked on a very hot night to Sheep Station, a lovely restaurant that is said to have excellent food, including shepherds pie, beet salad, leg of lamb sandwiches and hamburgers.The room is attractive, the light was pouring in and our mouths watered at the site of the tall glasses of beer we saw served to those sitting at the bar.
“We’re looking for a friend celebrating her birthday…” Hepcat said.
Clearly she was not in the restaurant. She was, no doubt, at the Black Sheep Pub.
I asked the waiter if he’d heard of the place…
“This happens sometimes. It’s on Bergen Street near Fifth Avenue…”
The Black Sheep Pub is a tiny bar on Bergen Street between Fifth and Fourth Avenues. It’s very, very dark — like it was invented for people who are allergic to light. There’s a foosball table and a huge video screen that was showing the Mets game.
They serve tasty (and spicy) dirty fries, pulled pork sandwiches and various kinds of beer. They have an amazing juke box selection that is, I believe, free. It said it was stocked by Music Matters, which seemed pretty cool.
Sitting there we heard Springsteen, The Pixies, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs…
It’s no Sheep Station but it is a dark pub worth knowing about.
Funnily enough, my friend, the one who’s birthday it was, had wanted to celebrate at Sheep Station but called it the Black Sheep Pub in the Facebook invite and then realized that she’d made a mistake. When we got to BSP, she told us the story. She’d wanted the beet salad at Sheep Station but had to stick it out at BSP because more friends were on the way.
A good time was had by all.

Effed in PS: Mack’s to Become High End Italian
According to Effed in Park Slope (via a tipster) the owner of Mack’s, the casual bar/restaurant on Seventh Avenue, which opened about six months ago, has teamed up with new partners, who are in the process of turning the eatery, into a high-end Italian restaurant.
Hey, then it will be just like Elementi, the restaurant that was in there previously.
Apparently the owner didn’t even tell the staff. According to the Effed Tipster, in the middle of the night the owner “dragged all the food and liquor out” and “the place has been locked up since Monday with no signs or explanations.”
You heard anything?
My Mistake: Luscious Food is Alive and Well
Phew.
I mistakenly reported that Luscious Food, (delicious homemade comfort food with fresh ingredients) was no longer on Fifth. My bad.
That lovely eatery, which specializes in tasty sandwiches, soups, salads (all homemade) is alive and kicking. So sorry for the mistake.

Park Slope Eatery Set to Open
Par Slope Eatery, a new casual baker/deli is set to open on the fabled corner of Fifth Street and Seventh Avenue, the corner, which used to house La Bagel Delight before its move two blocks south.
Flyers posted on the window say: Apply Now Hiring. And there are menus available outside. The big sign boasts artisan bakery so I’m wondering if they’re going to have great bread.
Maybe.
July 3: Food Films and Food at The Old American Can Factory
On July 3rd Community Markets is collaborating with Rooftop Films, Umami Food and Art Festival and the The (Makers) Market at The Old American Can Factory to screen a series of short artists’ food films on the roof of the Old American Can Factory at 232 3rd St. and 3rd Ave in Gowanus/Park Slope, Brooklyn.
The event will kick off at 8:30 PM with a live concert by the all-original indie rock group, Railbird from Saratoga Springs, hailed as “a great indie band set to break out,” by Billboard Magazine. After the screening there will be a Q & A with artists, and curator followed by an after party with refreshments for sale prepared by Communal Table.
The Umami films include contributions from different cultures and feature a variety of unusual approaches to food, highlighting its unique, multi-faceted nature. Some of the short films to be screened include:
Eggs and Bells (2008) by Annie Lanzillotto Lanzillotto’s fantastic irreverent performances (she sings, dances and writes…) celebrate her Italian American upbringing. In Eggs and Bells she pays homage to her Nonna and to traditional foodways.http://www.annielanzillotto.com/
Chickpea Masala in Four Movements (2010) by Steve Bradley Bradley soaks, sautés, and DJs his way through an aural/visual investigation into the preparation of Chick Pea Masala http://userpages.umbc.edu/~sbradley/
Miss Lucy (2007) by Tami Marks (Tami Ben-Shahar) Marks is an Israeli artist living in Massachusetts. Touching on themes of gender, faith, ritual and perhaps madness, this video follows Miss Lucy as she uses her kitchen as a temple and her oven as an alter. She indulges in sacrifice only to be resurrected as a modern woman. Derived from the sacred and the profane, Miss Lucy is both the name of a Christian saint and of an Israeli hot dog company.
“As farmers market organizers we’re aware and fascinated by the constantly evolving, culturally significant role that food plays in communities throughout New York,” says Rebecca Pedinotti of Community Markets. “Organizing this event with the Umami artists is an exciting way to explore food and eating beyond the market, as an enactment of community, identity and so much more.”
On the ground floor of the OA Can Factory from 6pm to 9pm there will also be a pop up (Makers) Market. The eclectic array of Makers who sell artisanal wares, art and design products every Sunday at the (OA) Can Factory, will be featuring their handmade products for sale before the film screening.

Cafe Martin’s Martin is Droll
In an article in today’s Brooklyn Paper by young reporter Ben Kochman (full disclosure I know this young man) there’s a joke masquerading as news. Cafe Martin’s Martin O’Connell claims he never met his sister, who owns Cafe Regular.
I’d chalk it up to Martin O’Connell’s droll sense of humor. Well, the article in the Paper is good humored, too. Here from the Brooklyn Paper:
It’s a feud so overcaffeinated that a brother now claims that he’s never even met his sister!
The sour sibling spat that split the ownership team of Cafe Regular in Park Slope has boiled over once again, now that Martin O’Connell has opened Cafe Martin — a new joint on Fifth Avenue that’s only six blocks away from the original coffee bar that his sister, Anne, still runs.
“I don’t want to comment about that,” said Martin O’Connell, when asked about his sister’s cafe. “I wouldn’t want to cause consternation for someone I don’t know.”
Someone he doesn’t know?
For years, Martin O’Connell was the popular public face of Café Regular, which is located on 11st Street near Fifth Avenue, known mostly for his wry humor and “life-changing” cappuccino.
But last fall, he and his sister feuded over whether modernizing with wireless Internet and an electric cash register would sacrifice the old-school Parisian authenticity of the café.
One rumor suggested even suggested that the spat occurred after Anne demanded that the baristas wear uniforms!
The tension between the two became so heated that now Martin flatly denies any former association with Café Regular.
“No, I don’t know them at all,” said Martin of his former abode, while he served up customers at his new café on Fifth Avenue and Fifth Street. “I don’t know anyone who worked there.”
Martin has a new cafe in a great new location — on Fifth Avenue between 4th and 5th Streets. It’s a lovely place with pews for seating, an attractive tin roof, a standing room only cafe/bar and black and white photography on the wall.
And the coffee?
Well, Martin is a master barista and the brew is strong and good.
Undomesticated Brooklyn: Blogfest Blacklash
The Blogfest Backlash is in full gear as critics snipe that this was the year the gathering of Brooklyn bloggers sold out to Absolut Vodka, the event’s sponsor.
Controversy aside, for a first-time attendee like myself, it was an opportunity to meet fellow bloggers and to be inspired by the community. Sure, Spike Lee’s chat made it clear he was there to shill Absolut Brooklyn, the new vodka blend “inspired” by Brooklyn. And it was also painfully apparent that he knew nothing about blogging or the purpose of the event.
Still, I appreciated the fact that Spike Lee brought a more diverse audience to the blogfest. And, to be honest, I also appreciated the free entry fee, vodka, and food (and no, I didn’t get a flip camera or a bottle of vodka to take home). Producing an event like this isn’t cheap. Kudos to blogger/Blogfest founder Louise Crawford for helping to make it accessible to all.
Ultimately, the cocktails were not as memorable as the conversations. During the “Blogs of a Feather” sessions where bloggers broke up by subject matter, I got to know fellow food and home bloggers, including:
Carolina Capehart of Historic Cookery, who cooks over an open fire, using the equipment,the ingredients, and the receipts (recipes) of the early 19th Century.
Phyllis Bobb of Reclaimed Home, who blogs about low impact housing and renovations options for thrifty New Yorkers.
Heather Johnston of SoGood.tv, which features videos about wine and food for the home cook.
Susan LaRosa of A Cake Bakes in Brooklyn, who revisits American home cooking in the era before convenience foods became popular.
Chattting about the state of blogging in Brooklyn was fun, but the highlight of the night came after I left Blogfest and I stumbled upon an inflatable couch on the sidewalk outside the Brooklyn Lyceum. It was after 11 pm and the man reclining on the couch was handing out free cookies.
“Want a cookie?” he asked.
I eyed him suspiciously. My mom always warned me about taking cookies from strangers, but it was a homemade orange chocolate chip cookie and he assured me that not only was it safe, but it was gluten free. I couldn’t resist. It was delicious.
He handed me his card. Turns out the cookie man’s name is Scott Alexander. Apparently, he’s a musician who makes friends and contacts by setting up his couch and handing out cookies. He’s got a 24-hour Free Cookie Hotline, 347-829-4YUM and a web site, FreeCookies.Net.
Scintillating conversation with old friends and new, strong cocktails and free cookies. I couldn’t ask for much more in an evening out in Brooklyn.
Undomesticated Brooklyn: My Friend, She’s Fried
My best friend Dori was a foodie before being a foodie was cool. She is the sort of person who phones just to tell you she made the most fabulous Potatoes Au Gratin with Gruyere that you just have to try. When we eat out, she knows where to go and exactly what to order (and how it should be cooked).
When her children were infants, instead of relying on store bought baby food, she mashed sweet potatoes and peas from scratch. As her kids grew into toddlers, Dori insisted on cooking them homemade chicken nuggets since she couldn’t stomach serving them the frozen kind.
Dori always makes cooking seem effortless and fun. Somehow, she manages to whip up dinner for eight with two kids underfoot while still looking as glamorous as a movie star (some see a resemblance to Meg Ryan). Not surprisingly, she has always been baffled – if not a bit irked – by my culinary ineptitude.
After years of rolling my eyes and listening patiently as she recounted her latest success in the kitchen, I finally have begun to take an interest. Now that I’ve begun to cook myself, I appreciate her passion for food and cooking even more. I’m lucky to have her on hand to (well, by phone or e-mail) to answer my questions about grilling, sauteing, steaming, and everything in between.
I’m proud to say that after years of dreaming about it, Dori has finally taken the leap and begun cooking school at the Institute for Culinary Education in Manhattan. She had taken recreational cooking classes there before, but this one is for pros. Of course, I thought Dori already knew everything there was to know, but I’m sure they can teach her a thing or two.
Dori is chronicling her journey on her blog, She’s Fried, which, like Dori, is funny, smart, animated, and always surprising.
In her most recent post, Dori tells of how she took on a lobster — and lost. Well, to be fair, she won (the lobster is dead), but she lost some blood in the process.
Check it out and see She’s Fried for yourself.

Cafe Martin
Yesterday I went into the brand new Cafe Martin on Park Slope’s Fifth Avenue between 4th and 5th Streets. And a lovely place it is run by two Irish gentlemen, one of whom is the barista Martin O’Connell, formerly of Cafe Regular on 11th Street.
It was great to see Martin, wearing his signature blue striped button down shirt, in the big, bright space that used to be the Pink Pussycat. In renovating the space, he and his partner tore down the drop ceiling, which revealed a gorgeous tin roof. They put in a beautiful dark wood floor, added church pew seating, cafe tables and black and white photographs.
Voila. A perfect cafe.
There’s no seating at the coffee bar, just a high counter suitable for standing while drinking a cup of strong espresso, reading the newspaper and conversing with the barista.
And that would be Martin, who, it is no surprise, has a following of sorts. For his coffee, of course. But also for his droll wit and wisdom.
Lucas Foods is Open on Union Street
Union Street is now The Park Slope Foodie Triangle (see below for explanation).
Lucas is the nabe’s new prepared foods shop run by Misty Kurpier (pictured above). a Park Sloper, who’s yummy sounding food offerings include grilled chimichurri hanger steak, gazpacho with grilled shrimp, roasted beets with mustard seed, lentils and onions, as well as pasta and fish entrees. Also available: espresso drinks and drip coffee. She’s also got: mac-and-cheese, Balthazar pastries and Ample Hills Creamery ice cream (made in the shop).
The shop is located at 847A Union Street (between 7th and 6th Avenues) which happens to be across the street from the Park Slope Food Coop and not far from the famed Blue Apron Foods.
I’m calling it the Park Slope Foodie Triangle.
The Mystery of the Missing Martin: Solved
I have fielded SO many questions about what happened to Martin O’Connell, the beloved (by some) barrista at Cafe Regular (on 11th Street just west of Fifth Avenue in Park Slope) and brother of the owner.
I knew there had been a falling out with his sister, when Cafe Regular did a swank redesign and added a north Slope location (on Berkeley Place off of Seventh Avenue).
Mystery solved. Sort of.
The storefront that used to house the Pink Pussycat on Fifth Avenue near 5th Street, is now Cafe Martin, co-owned and operated by Martin.

Dinner at the Bar at Fornino: Brava
Hepcat and I stopped into Fornino last Sunday night after the Fifth Avenue Fair. Suffice it to say the joint was packed and there was a 30-minute wait.
We decided to sit at the bar. The restaurant, owned by Michael Ayoub (pictured above with co-owner Christopher Walsh) is in the old Cucina location on Fifth Avenue between Carroll and Garfield Place, that then became Tempo. It’s a big space with a lovely bar and appealing wall colors, decor and lighting.
The bar has these hanging amber colored light bulbs, which I love. There’s also an interesting black and white glass sculpture hanging that I took to be a bouquet of balloons.
We ordered pizza because pizza is the thing to order and it was FANTASTIC! The bartender, who was friendly, helpful and attentive, gave us a few recommendations. He suggested the clam pizza or the black truffle (the priciest pizza for $45). “I’d actually like to have those combined,” he told us.
I was curious about the black truffle but thought it was a bit pricey so I went with the Vongole with clams, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic, oregano and Hepcat had the Gorgonzola with fresh fig.
Omigod. The pizza was fantastic.
I can’t even describe the crust but it’s a crust revelation. So this is a rave for my first pizza at Fornino. Oh and each pizza cost $14. and it was totally worth it and a delicious and FILLING entree for one. Fornino also has anti-pasta, salads, pasta dishes and MORE—a full menu—and a kid’s menu as if you didn’t know—and lots to choose from plus a great wine list.
Undomesticated Brooklyn: Slacking Off
It’s amazing how quickly I’ve fallen into my old undomesticated habits. Now that I’ve got a job, I’ve been seriously slacking off around the house. There’s a pile of dishes in the sink and while the laundry is folded, I haven’t had time to put it away. I don’t remember the last time I cooked dinner that didn’t come from the frozen foods section.
When pressed for time when something’s gotta give, it seems cooking and cleaning are the first things to go.
Somehow Avo manages to find time to go to the gym, work a full-time job, and cook — even when he doesn’t get home until 8 p.m. Last night, I was prepared to have cereal for dinner, but he was determined to come up with something more nutritional and satisfying. Using the few ingredients we had in our fridge, he whipped up the best omelet I’ve had in my life (no kidding) — eggs, ham, onions, and mushrooms never tasted so good. Or maybe I just appreciated the fact that I was eating a home-cooked meal for a change.
For the past week, I’ve been harboring plans to cook chili. I have all the ingredients on hand, but I still haven’t gotten around to it yet. I fear that unless I start cooking soon, I’ll forget everything I’ve learned (and the meat will go bad).
I’d hate to come this far only to settle back into my old undomesticated life. Sometimes I wonder if there are two types of people: those who cook because they love it and those who cook because they have no other choice. Maybe I’m just not hardwired to cook. What do you think?
New Decor & Menu at Yamato
Yamato, the Japanese restaurant on Seventh Avenue in Park Slope, is celebrating its 10th anniversary and they’ve introduced a new menu and a nice new decor.
Its current location on Seventh Avenue near 1st Street used to be a “doomed restaurant spot. Too many short lived restaurants, too numerous to even remember their names were there in rapid succession. Yamato broke the spell and has been serving delicious food there for 10 years.
I’m a longtime fan of the mostly sushi restaurant. But now they’ve turned a slightly more Pan-Asian direction and their new menus offers dim sum assortment, including pan-fried lobster and spinach dumplings and steamed sea bass and carrot dumplings.
New entrees include: mango chicken and pan-roasted miso Chilean sea bass, complement the modern, elegant ambience — and provide a seasonal touch as the restaurant reopens its waterfall garden.
“We’ve updated in a way that keeps what customers have loved for a decade while adding a new dimension in modern Asian cuisine,” Yamato spokesman Peter Wiegand said in a recent press release. ”
Wiegand called the redesign “romantic chic,” with a nod toward comfortable. I’m glad to report that their food is as good as ever and the restaurant is a much more comfortable place to be. The new sculptural light fixtures are very lovely.
