Oh Vandy, you’ve done it again. If it wasn’t awesome enough to walk into my neighborhood restaurant and see this guy behind the bar, the polenta with braised escargot and fried quail egg really sealed the deal.
Not to be overshadowed by snails, the crispy pork belly and lentils du puy were a bit of melt-in-your mouth perfection.
The blurb says David’s is in Bed-Stuy, but we know this joint is in the heart of Crown Heights. Nice!
In the heart of Caribbean Bed-Stuy exists a Jewish deli serving lusciously fatty, fall-apart brisket cooked daily and cut into plump slices, then piled between rye. Don’t forget the gravy. 533 Nostrand Ave between Atlantic Ave and Herkimer St, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn (718-789-1155). $5. Read more here.

Do you know your local history? Did you know that Weeksville was one of the first African-American neighborhoods in the five boroughs, established just 11 years after slavery was abolished in New York state? Check this amazing video that reviews the roots of this community.
Awesome apartment for rent in Crown Heights!

I am also selling much of the furniture in the apartment, including full size mattress + frame, huge wardrobe in new condition, air conditioner, patio chairs, kitchen bar + stools, and more.
