SpVino Osteria

At 289 Fifth ave park slope...a wine bar and garden and small plates and a great pedigree{Pete's in Dumbo) are open tonight for a "welcome to us" party...so there were no bills or credit cards but there was value and promise. Welcome to you,spVino, and to you ,Chef John. May Bacchus bless you.

Miriam 79 5av park slope...gay essen(go eat)

There are half price bottles of wine on several days but great Middle Eastern food is the reason to go any day. Carrot Ginger soup for to Fall and mixed shell fish and babbaganoush and fresh pita

and poached priceless pear!

SW.SW. southwest? so wonderful! PIQUANT. flatbush&6av

Navajo fried bread and tres salsas(see chipoltle ,the salsa,not the chain). Chopped salad . Tuna and asparagus . And tortilla crema. This will get 2 stars at least from the NYT because of the informed and engaging staff, the decor and the SW cuisine where every morsel is an upgrade on the last example you tasted. Two photos of the polenta fries to hold you til you get to taste them.
