The Vegetarian Option: Brookvin

I tend to drink beer on its own, but wine with food, which is why wine bars appeal to me so much—that particular blend of restaurant and bar that encourages sampling from small plates. I stopped by Park Slope's Brookvin to sample their vegetarian wares.

Mexican Eats: Fast & Fresh Burrito Deli

Fast & Fresh Burrito Deli is a five-year old Mexican restaurant in Boerum Hill run by a family from Tlaxcala, Mexico.

"A few beers later," he explained—and sometimes these stories actually end with a good idea.

First Look: Talde, 'Top Chef' Dale Talde's New Brooklyn Restaurant

"I wanted to fill my menu with things I love to eat," says Dale Talde of the restaurant with his name on the door, which opened in Park Slope last Sunday. ("Is that selfish?") In Top Chef star Talde's case, that means a menu with broad-reaching Asian influences—from Thai to Vietnamese to Japanese and Filipino—but with often American sensibilities: brisket nods to Texas, "pretzel dumplings" to New York; an iceberg wedge salad isn't likely to be found anywhere in Asia. Take a look at some of the chef's favorite dishes.
