People had a party today in Detective Mayrose Park, after which they bagged their trash and left it by the public can. See how easy that is, people?

Park Slope: Yeah, yeah: Chefs are supposed to be the new rock stars. But, in the case of Thistle Hill Tavern, an Euro-Mediterranean eatery in Park Slope, the opposite holds true: “Fat Mike” Burkett, a member of punk band NOFX, is a co-owner, along with a Niagara Bar vet and two alums from ‘inoteca. OK, Burkett’s not really the chef per se—’inoteca’s Rebecca Weitzman wears the toque—but together the crew hopes “to establish an [updated] old-world tavern [that uses] as many local purveyors as possible,” says co-owner David Massoni (he’s the other ‘inoteca dude). The cocktail list is equally old world, including the namesake Thistle drink, made here with Famous Grouse scotch, Carpano Antica vermouth and Lee Brothers orange bitte

The city is shuttering two much-needed after-school programs in Park Slope and a summer program in Fort Greene because the neighborhoods aren’t poor enough to justify their existence.

Places I Will Miss in Park Slope: Grab

tiffany:

Grab is a little specialty food store on 7th Ave, between 14th and 15th Street in Brooklyn. It carries specialty beers, stinky cheeses, gourmet chocolates, various baked treats, fun shaped meats, and more. This is a great place to pick up a growler especially on Saturday evenings when they hold tastings to sample the brews offered that day.  

I’m going to miss this place because it is a great go-to for unique party snacks and the beer selection made Marco extremely happy.

Albeit stinky, Grab is definitely an amazing store!

Thistle Hill Tavern, which is still not open yet, has posted their menu on the door. I’m looking forward to trying the “Fat Mike Burger”  and the pan seared ricotta gnocci. Yum!
