it just dawned on me that while i've written some restaurant reviews, I haven't yet written about food. food is love. i love food. some people eat to live, I live to eat. I'm picky about food not in terms of cuisine, I'll try anything!, but i always look for fresh, farm to table ingredients. So for my first food post, what better then food at its best unadorned self. Beautiful!!
so Harlem Public is finally up and running. a friend and I went to check out the scene and there was a baby in the bar. Yes, at a small table in the back two women were sitting, chatting and drinking beer and one was holding a small baby, maybe six to nine months old. now I love a cute baby, but a baby in a bar? first thought was to worry about the air the poor infant was breathing in but then I remembered no one has smoked in bars in decades. so I guess Harlem Public is going to be that kind of bar that bar where you can park your stroller and throwback a tasty brew... and the craft beer selection is topnotch. They also have a mixologist and make their own distilled liquor, all nice touches. it was packed with a youngish, a somewhat diverse crowd and the servers were friendly and fast. I guess I will go back but the cool factor sort of waned for me with baby. I mean we are not in Park Slope anymore.
