Kava is sweeping the neighborhood! As you may have read in a previous post, kava is a ceremonial drink from the Polynesian Islands that has been steadily gaining popularity in the US via kava cafes (perhaps you’ve noticed the arrival of the chain Kavasutra)

It’s 30 degrees out and we’re officially freezing.

Brooklyn is in the spotlight for food and drink again, but this time, it’s because of a museum

Drinking in the park or beach is nice and all, but (sadly) illegal

Only a few years ago, Rockaway Beach was a desert when it came to exciting cuisine, leaving visitors to lug heavy ice chests from home or snag something uninspired from a boardwalk cart

A zesty cocktail, a crisp beer, a sharp wine

For those of you who have or haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Dottie Evans, owner of pet store Bushwick Bark, now’s your chance to join her, dogs and adoptable cats for a summer party filled with bbq foods, drinks, and prizes

Let’s not fool ourselves

Tears were rolling down my cheeks with joy when I heard that Bushwick’s very own and currently the only brewery in town, Braven has introduced their newest beer, Bushwick Pilsner

Stuck in Bushwick on this year’s

Prior to visiting the Brooklyn Winery, my understanding of the winemaking process was that all of the Trader Joe’s employees spent their lunch breaks terrifying one another and smashing up expired grapes

For those of you who need a drink after work (or simply want one), we bring you a list of five fantastic happy hours in the neighborhood to make you even happier to come back home after work!

God knows we have been waiting for the return of Fellini Nights to Verde Coal Oven Pizza forever! I mean first of all it’s Fellini, and second of all, it’s Fellini on a large screen in the backyard of our beloved pizzeria run by Bushwick’s fav Sicilian, Charlie Verde! And it gets only better if you add all you can eat artisanal pizza and all you can drink Sixpoint beer

Contrary to popular belief, there are PLENTY of bars in Ridgewood

A little further out and a quick hop to the JMZ line, and the available nightlife starts to expand beyond the typical Brooklyn dive bars

Now that we’re a bit deeper into Bushwick, it takes a little more work (and a little more walking) to reach great bars

Since we “celebrated” Presidents Day last weekend by making a few bad decisions Sunday night and skipping work on Monday, this week’s Drink & Ride takes us to the aptly named Jefferson stop

Whether you’ve jumped the turnstiles (not recommended, but we get it) or pony’d up for one last $104 monthly MetroCard before the fare hikes in March, the next L stop on this Drink & Ride gets you to Morgan – previously only a name you associated with girls who played high school field hockey

Sometimes it seems like our whole live revolves around the L train – a harrowing fact considering most of us have either been cursed out by a sassy teenage girl or seen someone strip down to their skivvies during the long commute home
