i'm soooooooooooooooooo hungry!

Oh friends, it's Restaurant (Two) Week(s) in Brooklyn! Three courses for $21.12! What better time to take me on a date?!?!?

(Ok, fine, I'll take myself.)

Thirty four restaurants in my neighborhood are serving up these cheap-o meals for the next ten days, and while there are a bunch I've never been to, I can give you recommendations from the list.

12th Street Bar & Grill (D) #
1123 8th Avenue
718-965-9526

Fancy, quiet, posh-ish. There's also a bar room in the back, which is nice, too, except maybe a little loud for dinner with your parents. (which, obviously, is what I did)

applewood (D)
501 11th Street
718-768-2044

Home of the famous rock shrimp risotto. Lots of organic food, local food, FABULOUS food. Go. Go now! This will be worth it. (Good luck getting a reservation, though. Try for Tuesday or Wednesday.)

Bar ToTo Italian Bistro (L/D) #
411 11th Street
718-768-4698

My favorite spot in the hood. Seriously. I think they actually have a table with my name on it. However, Bar Toto is usually pretty cheap to start with, so this is not the mega-deal of the century.

Sotto Voce Restaurant (L/D) #
225 7th Avenue
718-369-9322

Oh, this place is great. Pasta out the wazoo! One of my dad's favorite spots in the hood.
There are some really great other options, as well. Come to Brooklyn! I swear it's worth it! And if you want a date, I can totally hook you up!

(p.s. if you go to one of the other places and it's really great, will you let me know?)
