Tuesdays with TT: Char No.4

Back at the end of August, my favorite deals site, Blackboard Eats, came out with a special prix fixe deal for Char No. 4 in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. In addition to hearing good things about the restaurant since it opened, CT’s Sister and Brother-in-Law moved to the neighborhood just a couple months ago. You may remember the delicious pizza they treated us to when we helped them move from South Brooklyn Pizza. So amazingly enough we offered to come to the wilds of Brooklyn to visit ML and get a bite to eat. As we walked from the subway, we [...]

Junior’s Cheesecake

I’m a lucky, lucky girl… via food blogging, I’ve made so many lovely friends.  I recently battled a case of depression (and no, it’s never over completely), and without the support of those around me, I wouldn’t be able to sit here with a goofy smile on my face like I am right now (mostly from listening to a goofy song); instead, I’d probably still be on the couch, or in bed, just miserable and unhappy.  But I’m not – I’m almost through to the other side (I can admit that there are some days that I start to backslide, [...]

P.J. Hanley’s/South Brooklyn Pizza

CT & I have been back for from our Panama trip for a little while now and already have a bunch of NYC based posts for you. Rather than let them get “stale,” we are gonna have a couple bonus posts at 12:15. Stay tuned tomorrow at 2:15 EST for the start of our Panama posts. Enjoy! Recently CT’s Sister and Brother-in-Law(ML & TL) closed on their first apartment in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. Congrats! As such, along with CT’s parents, we graciously offered to help them with the move and setting the new place up. CT and I were responsible [...]

Nyonya

Though I’m still firmly within my Restaurant Hiatus, sometimes you can’t say no.  My darling friend MD/PB, whose name you may recognize from my many travels (Argentina, Greece, Turkey and Spain, for starters), took the leap and accepted a job in San Francisco.  During her last month here, our crew tried hard to meet up, but with everyone’s crazy schedules, some people met up at times and other people met up at other times… I managed to only be able to go have lunch with her the week before she departed on her cross-country drive, so I broke my hiatus [...]

Meatopia 2011

Writing here has its perks. So it was last weekend when The Feisty Foodie tapped me to represent at this year’s Meatopia, a celebration of carnivorous gluttony with an eye toward locally-sourced, organic meats. TT went last year, so I took one for the Feisty Team this year. Actually I took a lot of photos, so this is one long post of meaty indulgence! Held on the not-yet-opened Pier 5 at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the wide expanse of concrete helped space out the booths and limit the lines. If only it wasn’t so hot and humid! But no matter, I [...]
