If you have a Brooklyn Library Card, it can get you discounts at various places like hotel bleu, car rentals, some restaurants, shops, and a spa. List will hopefully get bigger as word gets out...
Tried out the pizza over the weekend and it was fantastic. Fresh ingredients, great sauce, stupendous crust. The space is very cool as well. I was disappointed that the fig pizza was not on the menu, but I think that's a summer thing. FYI, No liquor license yet.
We had the Delboy (sopressata) and the King Harry (parmesan and prosciutto). Both highly recommended. They are quite small, so ordering one per person is pretty reasonable.
March is apparently National Peanut Month. A little trivia...Americans eat 3 pounds of peanut butter per person every year. That's about 700 million pounds, or enough to coat the floor of the Grand Canyon.
Inspired by a bit on the Ricky Gervais Show, I will be sending a weekly "Monkey News" e-newsletter highlighting any primate related current events. To subscribe email noalithuaniansmith at gmail.com
Small Pig is my favorite childhood book. I'd like to say there's a deep psychological meaning, but really I just like the pictures.
Synopsis: After the farmer's wife cleans up all of his good, soft mud, Small Pig decides to run away. He's sure to find a better pigpen in the city. But, once there, the puddle he thought was mud is not mud at all! And now this small pig has one BIG problem.
