Bergen Hill Menu.

We haven't tried Bergen Hill yet but walked by and saw the menu, above, and it looks wonderful.  They've only been open a few weeks now.  We're definitely going to try it soon and will let everyone know if the menu is as good as it looks.  In the meantime, has anyone been there and would like to share?  We'd love to hear what you thought!  Also, if you'd like to see a pdf of the menu click here.  So many delicious sounding places opening up in the area (such as Hometown BBQ which opened less than two weeks ago), so little time!

New Restaurant on the Block.

The new spot we're talking about is called Bergen Hill, which will highlight seafood and raw fish on their menu, and the block is Court between 1st and 2nd.  It's in the spot formerly, and briefly, occupied by Bourgeois Pig Brooklyn.  There's been a buzz about this place, which is supposed to open tomorrow according to their website.  The buzz mainly comes from the names involved.  Timeout magazine reports that the raw fish trend is coming to Carroll Gardens "thanks to Ravi DeRossi (Death & Company, Proletariat), who banded with Interpol guitarist Daniel Kessler to open this Brooklyn drinkery. The nightlife guru has tapped Top Chef alum Andrew D’Ambrosi (Le Cirque) to helm the menu".  We snapped this picture last week they looked about ready to open. 

Kevin's Reopening!

Kevin's will be reopening this weekend, after being closed for months after Sandy.  They'll have dinner on Saturday and Sunday and brunch on Sunday as well.  To celebrate their reopening they're having a party tomorrow, Friday night, and anyone can come between 5pm and 8pm.  They'll have complimentary hors d'oeuvres and cash bar until 11pm! We're so happy they are back!

Kittery on Smith.

It seems that when a good idea blooms in the area many more follow.  Burgers and ice cream have been the latest trends with several places opening up around the same time throughout the hood.  Some were just okay but others were really good.  We like this latest trend the best.  Seafood!!!!  It all began with Red Hook Lobster Pound, still a favorite spot, and Littleneck, Brooklyn Crab followed.  Next is Kittery.  Taking the spot of the short-lived Diego at 305 Smith Street this new restaurant is still in the process of renovations, the outside has been redone, as you can see in these photos.  Seafood shacks?  Keep them coming!
