You don’t have to be a vegan to love this healthy little legume. Edamame is a Japanese cuisine staple that when steamed and sprinkled with a bit of sea salt or tossed into a stir fry is a protein packed delight. Well we’re not the only ones hooked on it. It seems Carmen can “eat the hell out [...]
We claimed they were opening yesterday, we were sadly wrong. However, a quick call today has lifted our spirits. Yes! Baluchi’s Indian Food is open! Free delivery in the Slope with a take out/delivery special of $15 for an appetizer, entree, basmati rice, nan bread, and their great yogurt and chutney sauces.Â
Baluchi’s Indian Food
Thanksgiving is almost here and if you haven’t started your grocery list we suggest you get to it! SweetTea is already planning for next Thursday’s feast and as a new coop member would like to know how long she should wait to buy her turkey:
it’s my first year as a coop member, and i’d [...]
Gowanus Lounge just posted a couple of not-so-nice stories from Park Slope Parents about recent visits to the Methodist Hospital ER. This would come as no surprise to Carmen who posted about her trip to the ER in April:
…I was kind of mortified that the PA was pressuring me into treatment when [...]
Local artist and regular Brooklynian member Trainsmoke DeLeon is looking for an ‘intangible gift’ to give. Hum? Interesting. Tis the season and what better way to show you care then by giving present like a membership to a cultural institution or perhaps a subscription to a favorite magazine? Sweettea suggested a membership to Brooklyn Botanical Gardens [...]
Though we had hoped this long awaited Indian food chain was opening tonight, alas we are out of luck. Latest word from the employees I talked to tonight was that it may be opening tomorrow. From the looks of the unassembled kitchen I’m guessing it’s more like next week. Sorry to get your hopes up folks.
Pescadarians take note, recommendations on where to catch the freshest fish are pouring in thanks to Gretel who lives near C-Town on 9th, but wasn’t sure if “that is an ok place to buy fish?” Veets fills us in on the C-Town fish facts:
I have bought fish at C Town on 9th street for [...]
Local Indian restaurant chain Baluchi’s is opening up its doors in the Slope today (for takeout at least) over on Fifth Avenue and 3rd Street. There’s a lot of gushing going on at the discussion boards:
ljnd: I have friends from Mumbai, fabulous cooks, who swear by them. I’ve taken friends from Rome and London [...]
Need a cart for shopping, moving heavy items, or just hobo’ing around? The Brooklynian.com board’s got you covered.
Poster LJND recommends http://premiercarts.com/ which seems a bit overkill, as Blonkers points out:
If you just want one of the folding carts, you can usually find them at larger hardware, and grocery stores. The big supermarkets in [...]
Last week was report card week, and parents in Park Slope were debating the age old question of how or if they should reward their children’s good report cards. Do they give them cash prizes, a special dinner or a big smile and a pat on the back? Naturally there are different schools of thought [...]
If you thought Park Slope was all about baby boutiques and fancy frogo, think again. Park Slope has found it’s edge in the form of Forgotten Championship Wrestling, a group committed to restoring the integrity to fake wrestling. These guys want to bring wrestling back to it’s Ric Flair era heydays, “When the fans [...]
“It seriously pisses me off when I wake up at 3 a.m., freezing my balls off. I’ve called him numerous times, but I keep getting this feeling that he thinks I’m lying for some reason.”
This testimonial comes from a discussion at Brooklynian.com. As the quote illustrates, the coming winter can [...]
Somehow we missed the news that Barrio Restaurant now has a Bingo thing going on every Tuesday night at 6 pm (210 7th Avenue, corner of 3rd). Hipsters and parents, take note of your respective “safe†times: there is a “Kids and Families” bingo at 6 pm, and Adult Bingo starting at [...]
An observation made by Old Time Brooklyn that 7th ave. stores and restaurants in Park Slope seemed unusually dead this week seemed to be consistent with what locals are saying about their recent spending habits. Some comments from the thread “Has Everyone Stopped Shopping?”:
bohuma: “Stopped for everything except essentials. Don’t go out for [...]
A first time poster stopped by the forum this week seeking advice on how to deal with a downstairs neighbor who finds the time to complain about every sound she makes.
japes317: “My fiance and I moved into our apartment in July. In the 3.5 months that have passed since then, we’ve come to find [...]
The partying in the streets that erupted all over the city last night showed up in Park Slope as well.
MichaelKeys: “It was New Year’s and the Yankees AND Mets winning the World Series all rolled into one here in Brooklyn!”
caaahyoko: “I had the most wonderful bike ride home from Southpaw to Bushwick. The [...]
Perhaps it has come to your attention that there is a sort of big deal election taking place today. Well you aren’t the only one who noticed, as a quick look at any Brooklynian board will prove. Locals have been checking in all day, sharing their experiences:
tapdame: “just wanted to let you know how [...]
