applewood: It’s well known that Park Slope is chockablock with stroller-pushing pops and sling-wearing moms. But did anyone ever stop to wonder why? Could it be that this über-romantic foodie haven has contributed to the surge in Brooklyn babymakin’? applewood, a small, husband-and-wife-owned gem, bills itself as a local and organic neighborhood place, but despite its humble, de-capitalized name and off-the-avenue location, it's garnered plenty of well-deserved attention. Their famous “Meet-The-Farmers Dinner” invites you to indulge in a four-course, wine-paired meal, right alongside the local organic farmers who provide the restaurant with its fare ($85 per person, plus tax and gratuity). If you ever wanted proof that you don’t need exotic ingredients Fed-Exed from far-flung continents to make a memorable meal, this is it. Afterward, the friendly staff will even wash your dishes with eco-friendly products (ah, Brooklyn.) Plus, with the fireplace flickering, applewood is so warm and intimate it might give you or your date an apple-woodie. |
