BROOKLYN FOCUS: Shopping for our Community
Tis the season to consume. Of course there are two ways to consume: shop at those awful soulless malls owned by people like Bruce Ratner who doesn't give a rat's ass about community, or shop at local businesses run by your neighbors and friends. I admit it. I have done my share of shopping at big chain stores. But when you get to know the owner and the store is part of your neighborhood, it just feels better shopping there.
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn, the group that has been at the forefront of defending Central Brooklyn from overdevelopment, is highlighting the community based businesses that support them as a way to say "thank you" for that support. Here is the list:
I will highlight Al di La one of my favorite restaurants that is on the list. It is pricey but one of New York's best restaurants (Zagats gives it a 26 rating for food and lists them as costing an average of $45 per person with drinks):
Al Di La Trattoria (Park Slope)
Park Slope’s perpetually packed, widely-acclaimed Venetian institution.
248 Fifth Avenue (Near Carroll Street)
(718) 852-1572
www.aldilatrattoria.com
We don't get to go there very often...maybe once a year. But we ALWAYS enjoy it. When we wanted to celebrate Joy's pregnancy with Jacob, we went to Al di La. In fact, we may have decided on the name "Jacob" there.
And here is the full list.
