NProspect Heights, Brooklyn

danaandthecity:

I went out to a great restaurant in prospect hights this weekend called The Vanderbilt.

Although I thought it was a big expensive, the food was amazing and so was the service.

My favorite dish, which i sadly forgot to take a picture of, was the Brussels Sprouts appetizer. I never thought i would say that, but they were delicious with a combination of Sriracha, honey, and sesame seeds.

I highly recommend this restaurant. It’s a great date place and has room for large groups too.

The only kickstarter project worth following right now…because it brings donuts to my hood.

Our new neighborhood restaurant, 606 R&D, in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn is set to open in early 2012.

Support our project and send the aroma of donuts, cinnamon, brown butter, hot cider, and freshly brewed coffee down Vanderbilt Avenue. We’ll open early and make fresh donuts all day long, seven days a week. Proceeds from our campaign will cover the costs of our donut making program:  staff training at Dreesen’s Donut College (the Ivy League of Donut Schools), starter ingredients, donut boxes, donut bags, a mixer to make the donuts and finally (drum roll please), a “Donut Robot,” the donut-making machine. It’s a 3 foot contraption complete with a river of hot oil and a flipping device. Watch it and be amazed!

On Jan. 21 and 22, comedians Jessica DeBruin, Corinne Fisher, Dawn J. Fraser, Chrissie Gruebel, Tracy Mull, Roopa Singh, and Katie Sullivan—plus Rachel Dratch of Saturday Night Live fame—will lend their unlikely voices to a fund-raiser titled “Comedians of New York for Afghan Women Writers.” The reading is to benefit the Afghan Women’s Writing Project, an organization that mentors Afghan women writers and distributes their work to a global audience.
“Comedians  understand pain best,” said Stephanie Tait, a filmmaker and comedian  herself, who acts as the AWWP creative outreach director and is also the  event’s curator, “because they go into comedy to escape their own.”

Plan ahead and visit on the first Saturday of the month and enjoy Free Admission to the museum.  We love the Egyptian collection and just stand in awe in The Great Hall.

Tomorrow.
