Kenny’s Trattoria: Quality Italian on the Cheap
Talk about a hidden gem. Kenny’s Trattoria in Williamsburg not only has some brick oven pizza that rivals Motorino’s, but Italian apps and main courses that are tastier than Bamonte’s. Yeah, I said it. I mean, ambiance-wise, it’s a completely different experience than either of those places– it’s not ultra
The Gibson: $35 Unlimited Oyster Wednesdays & More
If you haven’t heard yet, I have some oyster and lobster roll news. This shit goes all the way to the top. And by that I mean The Gibson— Williamsburg’s most adequately well kept secret. So, sometimes the weekends can be a little crowded, but let’s face it, it’s one
This New Literary Magazine is a Gift to the People of San Francisco
I’ve got some awesome news! We received a grant from the Civic Joy Fund to put out a literary magazine celebrating SF and acting to counter the stupid “Doom Loop” narrative. It’s a gift to the people of San Francisco. And after months of working on this project it’s now available

The other weekend I attended the most drunken brunch I’ve possibly ever been to– or if not the drunkest, the most booze consumed at one brunch. There is one place responsible for this. Namely, Le Comptoir in Williamsburg, which is luckily within stumbling distance from pretty much anywhere in that
Brooklyn Mac: Just Break Your New Years Resolution Already
So remember that awesome coffee place CUP, you guys? Wellllll, guess what just opened up literally next door? A MOTHER EFFING MAC AND CHEESE PLACE called Brooklyn Mac. They name all of their mac and cheeses after different Brooklyn neighborhoods, and they have 3 different sizes– which really just answers
Van Leeuwen: An Ice Cream For All Seasons
Perhaps you might be familiar with Van Leeuwen because of their ubiquitous trucks at music festivals and on Bedford Avenue during the summer. Perhaps you didn’t know, however, that they have a permanent location in Greenpoint, very close to the Nassau G stop and Bedford L stop. Maybe you also
A Williamsburg Thanksgiving, Restaurant Style
Whether you’ve been too busy to make plans, not feeling social enough, or too unenthusiastic to even think about cooking anything– you’re in luck. Many of the wonderful restaurants in Williamsburg, Brooklyn are offering Thanksgiving pix-fixe menus so you won’t have to worry about cooking, inviting people, or being invited
Forget Everything You Know About Pheobe’s Cafe
Much has been said, both on the interwebz and via word of mouth about the service of Pheobe’s. And to that I say: well, here’s the thing. The thing is that, yes, perhaps the service at Pheobe’s can be a little….hit or miss. With the misses being things like, you
