The Order: Unsure of what type of cuisine to order last weekend, I knew I wanted something hot, tasty and easy to carry home. So I logged into SeamlessWeb and browsed through the selection in Park Slope. Antonio’s Pizzeria quickly caught my eye with its five-star customer ratings and when I checked out their menu, [...]
Today’s Brooklyn Order: Lemongrass Grill
The Order: In the mood for a late lunch/early dinner last Friday, I placed an advance pickup order from Lemongrass Grill in Park Slope. I usually tend to eat lunch midday, but the anticipation of getting back to Brooklyn for the weekend made it easy to wait until I got off work. Now I know [...]
Today’s Order: Tanaka
The Order: It was hot yesterday — an extreme 96 degree high (OMG) — and we didn’t want to order anything that would induce extra perspiration. Mexican was out of the question, as was anything spicy or cooked. The seemingly obvious choice was Japanese. It’s a light cuisine that fills you up while maintaining its [...]
Today’s Brooklyn Order: El Viejo Yayo
The Order: In the mood for Latin cuisine, my eclectic palate led me to El Viejo Yayo Restaurant in Park Slope. If you’ve been reading my reviews, you’re well aware of my ordering habits by now. I generally select a traditional appetizer, reflective of the country and cuisine of the week, then an entrée, and [...]
Today’s Order: Bon Chon Chicken
The Order: Korean Fried Chicken. It’s the new KFC. Ok, not that new, but still not the first thing most people think of when they crave fried poultry. Today was a lovely Friday afternoon, perfect for pickup (especially when a restaurant doesn’t actually deliver to your office!), so we decided to place a six-person order [...]
Today’s Brooklyn Order: Dao Palate
The Order: Once again my adventures of food hunting led me to a restaurant whose name and location had piqued my interest before I even saw the menu on SeamlessWeb. It turns out that Dao Palate, which is conveniently located in Prospect Heights, caters to vegans. Now I am no serious carnivore by any stretch [...]
Today’s Brooklyn Order: Joy Indian Restaurant
The Order: Being a foodie is no easy task. I set my standards high and I hate to be disappointed. My goal is to try a new restaurant each time I order on SeamlessWeb and I always hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. This week’s selection to be scrutinized was Joy Indian [...]
Today’s Brooklyn Order: Zaytoon’s
The Order: One of the things I love about living in Prospect Heights is that we don’t have McDonald’s or Starbucks on every corner. Instead of large chains, there are mom-and-pop restaurants and cafés covering a variety of cuisine types. In that vein, Zaytoon’s on Vanderbilt Avenue is one of my favorite places in the [...]
Today’s Brooklyn Order: Tenko Sushi & Thai
Tomi’s back this week reviewing some Park Slope pan-Asian: The Order: The idea of having good food on a Sunday afternoon is always appealing, but it sounded especially wonderful to me this weekend, so I decided to indulge in a large meal from Tenko Sushi & Thai in Park Slope. Since I’d never eaten from [...]
Today’s Brooklyn Order: Plan B
Last week it was Tomi and this week it’s Linda (they’ll be alternating weekly, with some wild cards thrown in). Today’s Brooklyn Order is here to stay. Um, DON’T fuhgeddaboutit: The Order: Despite the proximity of Plan B to my apartment, its central location (a short distance from Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and other [...]
