A new hidden treasure...

Coffee Settepani Bakery .75
American spirit Cigs $5.00
Northeast Kingdom $30.00

The new discovery by "Brooklyn new gal of the century" Stephanie is practically in the middle of industrial nowhere land. It's off the Jeffersom stop on the L train in Bushwick, and it's the nicest little joint. The menu is comprable to Manhattan's Soho/Lower East Side food. Well, I guess even Williamsburg style (laid back posh)...I actually heard someone compare it to Freeman's Alley (a compliment), but at least I can afford this place. It was a great dinner with some girls, Amber(from Chicago) Sam (from Portland, Oregon), Stephanie, Emily and I. I shared the BLT with Sam, and the appetizer as well, toast with roasted eggplant, goat milk gouda and basil. I also slurped down a couple whiskey sours and still got away without feeling totally robbed. I'm thinking this is a great date place as well, going for a summer bike ride, exploring a different part of Brooklyn...and just when you think there's no place to grab a bite and a drink, you stumble upon the corner sign (see picture), and you enter this enchanting little place, with great decor, excellent wallpaper, and faux taxidermy. "The Northeast Kingdom" in Bushwick baby.
