Afternoon Brooklyn Beers Plus Wings – NYC

Not sure what took me so long, but I finally made it out to the Brooklyn Brewery last weekend. I’d always wanted to go, but when you live in New York, you take the city for granted. That’s why it’s so great when you have visitors from out-of-town. You get to do all the things you planned to do, but never did. Last weekend when the Kim sisters (Soo and Joo) were back in New York from Seoul, we made a trip to the brewery for the Saturday tours. MORE »

In case you haven’t noticed, Bionic Bites has been very East Village-centric the past few weeks. The reason: I’m sick of living in my cramped run-down LES apartment and have been spending a lot of time in the East Village apartment hunting.

It was only after we were seated we noticed the place was more of a bar than a restaurant, and the menu was limited to burgers and sandwiches.

If I lived in the West Village, I’d hang out at Wilfie & Nell every weekend for Scotch eggs, grilled cheese, delicious cocktails, and their great beer selection on tap. Read my review, “Raising the Bar: Being Local at Wilfie & Nell,” on SE:NY. Drunken food porn awaits.

Wings Gone Rogue at Mad for Chicken – NYC
My KFC spot, Bon Chon, in K-Town went rogue and changed their name to Mad for Chicken. This week I went to see if they’re still the real deal. Read my review, “Raising the Bar: Wings Gone Rogue at Mad for Chicken,” at SE:NY. A few things are different, but if you want to celebrate the Yankees’ World Series win tonight with wings and beer, Mad for Chicken is a good bet.
