If you’re at the New York Food Film Fest today, maybe you saw the film featuring Matt & Allison Robicelli and their favorite food spots in their home neighborhood of Bay Ridge.
Here’s a map for more info on the locations in the film!
Combining biography and geography, the Brooklynography series attempts to create a portrait of an individual and their environment, depict how public spaces become personal, and highlight the unique communities of Brooklyn, New York.
Our first video focuses on local musician Chris Littler, who is an LA transplant and new-ish resident of Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Let me begin by saying I like burgers. I think they’re great. I mean, if Shake Shack had an actual mayor, not a fake-ass Foursquare one, I’m pretty sure I’d run for that office and win. Now all that said, can someone (Mayor of Brooklyn? Marty??) get some zoning laws on the books that limit the amount of burger joints legally allowed to exist per square mile??
I can’t help but notice that areas like Park Slope, Cobble Hill and Downtown Brooklyn have seemingly overnight become riddled with burger joints. There are three kinds – the fast food kind, the gourmet kind, and that pompous jerk kind who is trying to ride the line between the two. Let’s take a look.
This post will be part recap of the Pint Mash-Up on Saturday and part review of 61 Local. Mostly because I hate reading recaps because they bum me out about something I missed, so why on earth do I even write recaps. I write them because it would be weird if I posted photos with no text or explanation, when really I just want to show you my photos. Look at the photos! The text is meaningless.
Anyway keep reading please…
So perhaps you’ve all noticed that Brooklyn has become something of a mecca for independent markets and outdoor social events. The trend continues with the recent opening of DeKalb Market, an outdoor arrangement of shipping containers that have been re-purposed to host both food and retail vendors.
The first thing you’re probably asking is “What makes DeKalb Market different from Brooklyn Flea or Northside Market or the GreenMarket or a boat show?” Well I’ll tell you. First of all, there are no boats at DeKalb Market. Secondofly, DeKalb Market is largely made out of old shipping containers, making it weatherproof while also providing spells of air conditioning, and promoting the re-use of old junk. Recycling!
