Bar Minnow has
been rechristened the Brooklyn Burger Bar.
Comment.
The name of the chef of Lunetta restaurant was misspelled in
"Northern Exposure" (Dec. 9, 2006), "Brooklyn
Bites" (Nov. 4, 2006) and "A Decade of Good Eats"
(Sept. 30, 2006). The correct spelling is Adam Shepard. We regret
the errors.

As New Year’s Eve approaches, Park Slope
author Kevin Shay reminds us that during a more innocent time
- a time before 9-11 - some folks feared a catastrophic breakdown
of civilization on Dec. 31, 1999.

One wouldn’t
think that heavily trafficked, four-lane Flatbush Avenue would
be fertile ground for a farm, but two restaurateurs saw the avenue’s
potential. In July, Jason Scandinaro and Damon Gorton turned
the former 2,400-square-foot Bistro St. Mark’s space into Flatbush
Farm. They started with a bar, and then waited until September
- when they hired chef Eric Lind to man the kitchen - to begin
serving meals.

A familiar sound
following the excited New Year’s countdown is the distinct pop
of a champagne bottle; it is the subsequent reaction to the first
sip that will vary.

This New Year’s Eve, forget Times Square
and the claustrophobia of scarved and mittened bodies pressed
tightly together like crayons in a box.

Make no mistake about it: "Shopping
is a sport," maintains podiatrist Lori Weisenfeld, spokeswoman
for the Sunset Park-based footcare line ProFoot.
