Know Any Failing Restaurants For Gordon Ramsay's 'Kitchen Nightmares' Show?

I was just talking about this last week! In my neighborhood (Park Slope, Brooklyn) there is a new-ish diner-ish thing called Delicious on the Slope which is terrifying. I am pretty sure they are laundering money because they have very few customers and extortionist prices ($4 for a bagel with cream cheese) in a dismal, fluorescent atmosphere. I would love to see something useful/yummy/pretty at this location!

wine tasting event

Places like Bridge Urban Winery in Williamsburg or City Winery in SoHo would do a private event. Maybe 'Inoteca? I think that a wine bar might be your best bet.

Food Suggestions pre/post Broadway Show

Check out Osteria al Doge. It's pretty solid Italien... I particularly like their spinach and ricotta ravioli and fried calimari/shrimp. Also, Cafe Un Deux Trois is a good post-theater hang out, I usually see some actors I know. And they have crayons to color on the table cloth! (and awesome profiteroles)

Sugar Rush: Ho Hos from Bouchon Bakery

I visited Bouchon for the first time on Friday; what a delight. Service was a bit compromised, perhaps due to the swarms of lunchers, but I enjoyed myself. I splurged on tons of macarons (the first I've ever had with such obvious butter cream filling, but delightful nonetheless) for the ladies at the store I work at, and the ho ho was a fun treat as well. I love the wrapper... Makes it a lot easier to eat!

Weekend Giveaway: 'Good Beer at BAM' Tickets

I love the Nørrebro Bryghus King's County Brown Ale, a Danish beer inspired by Brooklyn's Nut Brown Ale. (It's better than the original.)

I'm also very partial to Bell's Oberon - a hearty summer ale.

Ohh, I second the Ithaca Apricot Wheat, although Sixpoint Sweet Action gets my vote for most drinkable.

So many great ones mentioned, but I think Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA will always get my attention.

I know this is a new one, but its hard to find, and its become one of my new favorites- especially for the summertime - 21st Amendment - Hell or High Watermelon Wheat. Sooo good, with just a hint of watermelon-y goodness!

Allagash Odyssey is as close to Belgian beer as we can get in these United States.

Allagash Odyssey may be as good a Belgian beer as can get made in these United States.

This is a difficult choice... A new discovery that I love is Dogfish Head Midas Touch. I had it when I was down in NC so I don't even know if it's around here?
