    In a world where cooking is boring and lame and filled with nothing but normalcy… comes an dinning event so epic that you won’t even know the people you’re eating with. 

    Choas Cooking goes like this. You get a bunch of people in one room… make some awesome food… and watch the socializing unfold. It’s epic! (we know we used the word epic already, but it’s the best word…deal). Here’s why it’s epic: Attendees get a 100-Course Meal for $20 and only 150 peeps can go. So, do the math. That’s a lot of food, with a lot of great peeps, for like nothing. What are you going to do April 11th sit at home and watch House of Cards? Don’t be lame get out a be social!

  • Runner & Stone Opens!

    In Brooklyn, Food: Eat Me!, Gowanus, New Places 2012, Places / By / / 0 comments

    This morning the sun filled 285 Third Avenue illuminating a uniquely designed new eatery in Gowanus, Brooklyn called Runner & Stone. The space, which was under construction for months (and discussed previously), has been transformed from an old law office into a beautifully laid out bakery and restaurant.

    Today, for their soft opening, Runner & Stone offered up lots of tasty treats for curious locals who started flooding in just before 9:00am.

    Upon exploring the space customers could see why construction took so long. The eatery has not one, but two levels…

    a skylight garden…

    and not just a full kitchen, but a bakery area to make pastries and bread.

    The space is filled with beautifully crafted thick wooden tables made from old water towers.

    And the walls of the space have an interesting texture look with concrete bricks shaped by the use of old flour bags.

    It’s truly a warm and inviting space!

    Runner and Stone‘s opening marks yet another dramatic shift for Gowanus’s Third Avenue. The Avenue that runs through an industrial neighborhood, exploded recently with many new businesses trying to take advantage of the seemingly endless foot traffic that is usually only found in Park Slope and Carroll Gardens. Runner and Stone joins Cotta Bene, a delicious Italian restaurant (best Italian rolls ever!), in focusing on not only the dinner market, but the breakfast/lunch market to fulfill the populations needs. Runner & Stone and Cotta Bene are a part of a growing dining scene that includes the popular clam shack Littleneck, Littleneck’s sister space The Pines, and the well know, pork chop offering, haunt Two Tom’s. But restaurants are not all that have taking over Third Avenue; unique stores like Twig Terrariums and the Brooklyn Robot Foundry  have appeared and started proving business can indeed grow and grow fast along Third Avenue in the once forgotten neighborhood of Gowanus, Brooklyn.

    Late one evening after a Twig Terrariums Halloween party we had the privilege of taking a tour of the new soon to open Gowanus neighborhood bakery, restaurant, and bar, Runner & Stone. Runner & Stone has been building for months, while also still offering tasty treats at the Brooklyn Flea. Their place, still under construction, is on 3rd Avenue between President St. and Carroll St. and is surprisingly huge. When you walk in there is a bar on the right side that holds one sexy looking espresso machine…

    And just across from the bar you’ll find space for seating… which you can kind of see in this crappy picture we took when we walked in… Read more ›

     

  • Fletcher’s BBQ on Third Avenue Opens Tonight!

    Fletcher's BBQ

    Fletcher’s BBQ, at 433 Third Avenue between 7th and 8th Streets, finally opens tonight after months of construction. The traditional American BBQ joint — which offers slow-smoked, humanely raised brisket, ribs, pork shoulder and other cuts in a 2,600 pound, bright red, J&R Pit with oak and maple woods — was miraculously spared the toxic flood waters caused by Hurricane Sandy that ravaged much of the neighborhood (including the recording studio less than a block away).

    Gothamist has the skinny (err… fat) on the menu:
