DID 491 SIX WINE BAR BITE THE DUST BEFORE OPENING?

Yes, South Slope already has plenty of bars. But who wouldn’t have been excited at the prospect of the 491 Six wine bar (6th Ave., between 12th and 13th), which made its coming known with a small typewritten note in the window and LOTS of empty bottles?

OK, in all honesty, anything would be an improvement over the space’s previous tenant, a printing shop that looked like a cross between a meth lab and that bike shop where Dudley got molested on Diff’rent Strokes. But look, I’m a wine dude, and I want a wine bar 50 feet from my doorstep much the way Roman Polanski wants a catholic girls’ junior high school to open next to his house. Right, I’m done with the illegal-sex-act jokes…for now.

Remember When Jonathan Safran Foer Said Park Slope Restaurants Were 'Miserable?'

Right, cause we totally do.

But now that JSF has a book out-n-all (and needs to plug that shit however he can), he seems to have had a change of heart. Not about eating cute little fur baby cows, chickens and pigs, of course...but about Park Slope cuisine!

Here's what he had to say about his favorite veggie burger:

“[Bonnie's] veggie burger is fucking great!"

Whoa.

N-I-C-E, JSF! Lettin loose with the expletives! What's next, a guest post on NY Shitty?

In any event, we likey.

BK Meatup: The Aftermath

This shit is so old by now, I may as well have waited until we had our *next* Meatup, and then I could do a side-by-side comparison.

Anyway.

I'm not going to go into a ton of detail, because quite honestly I've smoked a lot of weed since then and I don't really remember much.

Metromix New York has this killer round-up of photos that you should look through immediately (all those people are probably taken by now, but whatever).
