Will return: good food and people with friendly price.
After the concert in Brooklyn, we looked for a restaurant that opens late and allows our own bottle.
The interior of this East Village branch is down to earth and very casual. Their ribs are tenderly cooked (off the bone) and are tasty, although some are on the sweet side. The portions are big – there were eight of us, with two college boys. Yet, we could only finished half the meat we ordered, and multiple doggie bags to take home with.
- Crabcakes: very good
- Guacamole: pretty good
- Garden salad: good
- Double sticky ribs: sweet (maybe Henny is less sweet?)
- Double rack ribs: sweet
- Two beef ribs: my favorite
There is a photographer milling around who offered to take pictures for us … then offered one complimentary and the rest sells at $15 each when buying at least two. We did buy, out of … who needs prints nowadays?
When bill came, the friend who insisted of paying, asked me how much tips he should leave – new in US. I looked and said, just double the tax.
“Make sure they haven’t …” Another friend reminded me.
“No they didn’t.” I said.
…
And of course they did and Irene just doesn’t see it or can’t read…
They allowed us to have the Buffalo Trace (no corkage fee). I never liked bourbon’s taste, earthy or like dirt … but this one is pretty good, especially on the rocks. Three of them finished the bottle.
We closed their shop. Good times had by all. Thank you!
