Three Letters of Clinton Hill Serves Arrested Development Tasting Menu

Way back when, in the year 2003, a little show came on television called Arrested Development. Underwatched and underappreciated, although critically-acclaimed, the show lasted an impressive three seasons before Fox pulled the plug, leaving legions of college students sitting slack-jawed and teary-eyed in their underwear, whispering “….why??” at a blank television set. (This was before internet TV, if you can remember such a primitive time in human existence.)

For years following, rumors swirled about an Arrested Development movie; rumors that would be confirmed and then denied and then confirmed again only to be dashed away months later when everyone forgot about it. Then, in 2012, Netflix, internet TV/movie savior and platform of the people, confirmed what many had only dreamed of: the resuscitation of the franchise with all-new episodes, featuring our favorite actors bringing the  beloved Bluth family back from the dead.

The Curse of The Great Googamooga

After a rough inaugural run in 2012, Googamooga returned to Prospect Park this year with what they claimed was a “new and improved recipe” for a fun-filled weekend of food and music, purportedly smoothing out last year’s issues of long lines, food shortages, and a generally pissed off group of VIP ticket holders. What happened this year was unfortunately more of a disaster, despite Superfly’s admirable attempts at improvement, because of circumstances out of their control: primarily, the weather.

What went down on Saturday: Crummy weather resulted in diminished attendance which resulted in diminished sales for vendors. And if you did show up (and weren’t VIP), you were probably peeved at the lack of seating/eating areas with cover from the drizzling rain (there were none, if you don’t count the woods). Nothing kills the euphoria of a hot crispy chicken wing like eating it in cold rain, so even people who did brave the elements weren’t exactly having the best time of their lives, and vendors hurt from lost sales.

The Great GoogaMooga: The Good, The Bad, & The Hungry

If you live in Brooklyn and use the internet, you are probably sick to death of hearing about The Great GoogaMooga. For anyone who visits ONLY this website (hi Mom) and doesn’t know what I’m talking about I’ll fill you in real quick – the Great GoogaMooga was a food festival that took place this past weekend, featuring food vendors from all parts of New York City as long as they fell into the category of totally delicious. Each vendor offered one outstanding item to guests, usually in half/whole or single/double portions. The festival occurred outside (duh) in Prospect Park’s Nethermead Meadow, and also featured live music from such bands as Holy Ghost and Hall & Oates. In theory, this is the most genius event ever devised by man.

61 Local: A Local Place for Locals

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…
