“[A] very specific subgenre of the more familiar New American Cuisine. It flourishes in the bucolic hinterlands of Boerum Hill and Prospect Heights, the low country of Carroll Gardens and Williamsburg, and the great plains of Park Slope, and has as its common denominator a very New York culinary sophistication melded with a wistfully agrarian passion for the artisanal, the sustainably grown, and the homespun.”

After many months of construction and hard work, new restaurant, Breuckelen (268 Clinton Street at Cobble Hill Park), is getting ready for its big debut. Taking the place of old-school Clinton Cafe, which closed last winter, this market-driven restaurant is just waiting for its final permits and plans on opening doors early September–dinner only at first, brunch coming soon.

Sundays are meant to be lazy and indulgent. I have a sweet man who whispers sweet nothings to me when we wake up..”pancakes….scrambled eggs….bacon..”-ok that’s an fib-actually, I saw him studying his iPhone so intensely way too early in the morning that I had to ask what was up-he was looking at the menu for brunch.

we rarely have a Sunday morning off together, so it was a nice surprise to know he had made plans to join his work side-kick for brunch at Buttermilk Chanel. Eating brunch is strategy in my world-since I am a food sharer I like eating with those who feel the same way so this way the menu can be tasted.

the picture I am lacking is of the maple bacon almonds. they were interesting and I found myself going back to try them until I realized there were no more! The table next to us donated them to us after we started asking them about the menu.

my poached egg was perfect-Johann’s pancake was dope-and I am craving it right now-but I would say it was Remoy’s pork-chop that stole my heart away!

I wanted to love the cheddar waffle BUT sadly it did not happen. I did however get an idea for my own version. But that recipe will be test and posted on Paz y Azucar once that is up and going!

Alarms have also been heard outside Manhattan. In recent years, curb cut disputes have arisen in neighborhoods including Dyker Heights, Carroll Gardens and Boerum Hill in Brooklyn, and Throgs Neck in the Bronx. There, some owners have paved over their front yards for off-street parking. But so-called “parking pads” enrage neighbors and, according to city planners like Ms. Burden, threaten the residential character of city blocks.
