That’s gone now, but DellaPietra is hoping to revive the space with cuisine of his own: all-vegan ‘fast food’: burgers, hot dogs, ‘chicken’ nuggets and tenders. Unrelatedly, the corner was also known for a beloved pupuseria called Amanda’s Kitchen, once home to some of the most authentic Salvadorian fare in the borough. Here’s a hot tip with some backstory: Andrew DellaPietra has been running a colorful dental practice for some time on the corner of Knickerbocker Avenue and Maria Hernandez Park, where he’s known to attentive locals for his taste in elaborate seasonal window displays. Tikal Café is located at 1312 Decatur Street. But don’t take my word for it, take the testimony of our own Jackson Schroeder, who called it “an affordable and luxurious spot for locals to grab a fresh coffee and a delicious, healthy meal.” On the corner of Decatur and Knickerbocker, you’ll find a new all-vegan cafe that opened to great fanfare last month: Carolina Hernandez’s Tikal Café. The bright yellow exterior manages to make the auto dumps across the street look a little bit more like they belong on Bedford Avenue. Nhà Minh is located at 9-15 Wyckoff Avenue.
Lovers of seafood in sandwich form will find lots to discover, including bahi mis filled with smoked trout, grilled shrimp and the ‘catch of the day,’ in addition to more traditional offerings. This time, it’s a bahi mi joint called Nhà Minh, which used to be in Williamsburg, but soft-opened its new home on Wyckoff Avenue back in April where the bright yellow exterior manages to make the auto dumps across the street look a little bit more like they belong on Bedford Avenue. Once, for instance, it was a vegan popup that sold seitan sandwiches. The Drunk Crab is located at 68-17 Forest Avenue.Įvery so often, it seems like the place that was once the cafe in Trans Pecos becomes something else. The ideas come from a chef named Jean Piere who, according to their website, is “inspired by the traditional cuisine of Louisiana” and likes to give it “an Ecuadorian touch.” This is old fashioned, unpretentious fun: the brochetas go for $7 a stick but, for $150, you can also get a lobster-fronted meal fit for four. Gentrification-watchers will be pleased to discover little in common between the EDM-lite and laminated-menus over here and, say, the handsome village of newish Kermit Westergaard-designed properties across the street. It was a rainy, Thursday night on Forest Avenue when a shuttered party supply store (RIP H & A Party Place!) went the way of the neighborhood and became another restaurant: a patio-fronted affair called the Drunk Crab, where yes there is a cartoon of the joyful creature, waddling around dangerously, suds in hand. FYI: If their creations aren’t your style, you still have the option of getting a regular pie with your choice of toppings and Houdini Pizza is BYOB.With the ongoing pandemic’s impact of dining slowly diminishing, the number of new restaurant and bar concepts can sometimes feel like it’s skyrocketing, so here’s a report on some of the latest places that have come to our attention. I’ll definitely be going back to give the other pies a try. The flavors of all the toppings just melded with each other. After sampling a slice from each, the first thing I noticed immediately was the quality of the mozzarella. Once the pizzas arrived at the table, the aroma hit me and I knew I was in for a treat. Again, I already knew that going in since I did some research and read other reviews. Now, these pies are on the smaller side compared to your traditional pizzas. We ended up going with the Habenera and the Guido BK. Every single one of their creations sounded amazing. I knew walking in that Houdini was a bit different and not your traditional pizzeria. Let me first start off by saying that I love pizza and i love brick oven pizza even more. Once at the table, our order for drinks was taken and we had time to go over the menu. I arrived on a Sunday evening and was promptly greeted and asked to take a seat anywhere. Being that I drive by this establishment every single day, I decided that it was time for me to stop in and give it a go.
