Good Meals in a Weird Hood at Mazzat

Did you know Brooklyn has a “Columbia Street Waterfront District”? Nope? Me neither. Kind of right there with Kips Bay in the “Neighborhoods people smile and nod and maybe even think you’re a douche when you bring up” category. Well, it’s located on Columbia Street (see what they did there!?),

Get your Craft on!

So I’m a huge craft nerd, …like seriously. I can spend hours and hours in Michael’s (it drives my boyfriend crazy). But I figure that anything I can make myself is waaaay better than anything I can purchase. I mean, it might not come out as crisp and clean, or

Me Like Cafe Bunn Mi

I know what you’re thinking. Another Bahn Mi restaurant on Clement St.? Cafe Bunn Mi literally just opened and I have to admit, although it looks a bit non-authentic (and the name seems a bit Americanized), it really is. The outside looks more like a coffee shop than most Vietnamese
