When's the last time you were really,
really wowed by a plate of broccoli? Much of the wow factor here has to do with the housemade stracciatella nestled on top, but to be fair to the broccoli, it's roasted until shriveled, sweet, and a deep forest green.

Smith Street smoked fish emporium
Shelsky's has plenty of appetizing sandwich options, but, for me, it's hard to imagine ordering anything other than the
Spicy Blue ($11).

This sandwich popped out on the lunchtime menu at
Brucie in Cobble Hill. Fried scallops? We don't eat enough of those on a sandwich.

Shira-ae ($5) under Hibino's "tofu" section of the menu looks like a big mass of green, which it is, but it's a little more nuanced than that.

Walking into
Bien Cuit Bakery, which just opened a couple weeks ago on Smith Street in Boerum Hill, you get that overstimulated-in-a-bakery feeling. Rustic bread loaves the size of Jeep tires in baskets next to long baguettes. Dainty tarts piled with plump cherries and wet, juicy peaches behind the glass case. You're also a little intoxicated by the warm, yeasty baking aroma from the ovens (and want to bottle it up for later).

The Frankies Spuntino empire has spawned another child: a catering line named Francis Louis, available in portable sandwich form at Brooklyn's
Cafe Pedlar. The sandwiches come in those little triangular boxes that evoke British supermarket basements or airports, but are full of the promise of your biggest picnic fantasies.
