Happy New Rabbit Year! I celebrated at Ft Greene’s No. 7, where Baohaus chef Eddie Huang took the reigns and prepared a massive feast, served family style. After a dinner like that, I am more than ready to say goodbye to the aggro year of the tiger and enjoy a chilled-out bunny year filled with great food, new friends and plenty of wine.

I heart No. 7 Sub Being equally fond of fresh bread, seasoned meats and fabulous condiments, there’s really nothing not to love about No. 7 Sub, adjacent from the Ace Hotel. Seriously folks, this is the stuff sandwich dreams are made of. I ordered the Lamb Meatloaf w/Strawberry Pico de Gallo, Curried Crema, Cheddar & Pappadam. Most of the sandwiches have a crunchy X-factor: BBQ chips in the case of the Eggplant Parm; Pickled Daikon on the Turkey Cubano; House-Cured Bac-Os on the Roasted Asparagus/Pickled Ramps number. Damn, this place is awesome—and it’s right around the corner from Stumptown, so I pretty much can’t even deal.

Brooklyn Brunch Report I made it to the Vanderbilt for brunch and I’m quite pleased to report that I now have a firm grasp on what étouffée is. The smoked trout crepes were savory, creamy and just the right amount of salty-trouty. Also on the agenda was No.7, which is tops for dinner (Oysters with maraschino mignonette? Yes, please.) Brunch kept my attention with an interactive grits dish that let me play matchmaker with the maitake mushrooms, broccoli, crispy fried hominy and poached egg. And using shrimp and breadcrumbs to “bread” a piece of cinnamon toast? It was almost too much for my weekend brain to comprehend.
