Was it a crazy conspiracy against Bushwick or a pure lack of diligence from the organizers that caused Bushwick to be mysteriously left out from Dine In Brooklyn, a restaurant week organized by Borough President Marty Markowitz’s office? Our guess is the latter. But it wouldn’t be Bushwick and its entrepreneurial spirit if the restaurants didn’t decide to do something about this, and start its own Bushwick Restaurant Week to be held in June.
Out of 200 addresses on the Dine in Brooklyn list, none of them points to a Bushwick gem. Williamsburg counts for 20 participating restaurants, Greenpoint for one, and Bushwick for zero. Restaurants in Bushwick, a neighborhood recently recognized by Zagat as “hot” and on a “culinary rise,” were not notified about the event and thus missed the major promotional event and registration.
