Brooklyn

Notes from owners, Taylor and Harry...

Preparing for our annual New Year’s Day Chili Party in 2005, we lamented the lack of a neighborhood kitchenware store. Taylor was tiring of her job as a construction project manager, and Harry a freelancer always up for a new project and adventure was happy to fan the flames of entrepreneurship. At first it was what seemed like a good idea over dinner with friends, but the more we talked about it and got excited about it we decided to go for it. The Brooklyn Kitchen is the result of those ideas.

Uncouth Vermouth believes in transparency and commitment to sustainability. All ingredients are either foraged from untouched areas, or purchased from a farm that does not succomb to modification and is preferably non-profit. Farmers, not grocery stores. The middle of the woods, not Prospect Park. Your closest source isn't always your best source, but if you're willing to do your homework you can create a delicious, locally-sourced vermouth without a drop of sugar, no additives and/or preservatives. Seasonal ingredients produce seasonal flavors to pair with our isochronal meals.

Parish Hall's Mission

Restaurants have an important role to play in our city, in the food system, in our culture. They’re fundamental parts of our social life, they compose a significant part of our economy, and they play a crucial role in our interaction with our environment.

We operate our business with this mission to guide us. Our aim is to improve everything we encounter.

Heritage & Legacy

Fleisher’s Meats carries premium products from local farmers who have raised their animals on a primarily grass-based diet or organically-raised. These animals live natural stress-free lives and are not treated with antibiotics, hormones or fed animal-by-products and therefore produce healthy, great-tasting meat, milk and eggs. We consider ourselves partners with farmers who share our standards and practices.

Runner & Stone is a seasonal, New American bakery and restaurant in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn. They will be opening a new -first- brick and mortar store in late summer/early fall where you be able to find house made breads and pastries, as well as delicious food and wine.  Currently Runner & Stone can be found at the New Amsterdam Market, Fort Greene Flea, and Williamsburg's Smorgasburg and Brooklyn Flea markets.

Sosie Hublitz founded Watty and Meg in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn to be a neighborhood restaurant, and that's just what it's become, drawing a crowd of regulars, some of them three or four times a week. The kitchen combines French technique with local, seasonal ingredients—chef John Glowaki, a Charlie Palmer alum, lives near the Union Square Greenmarket, where he sources much of the restaurant's local produce, cage-free poultry, grass-fed beef and wild fish.

This is a neighborhood joint that serves food fresh from the local community with love and care. The recent addition of Red Hook eggs (whose deep orange yolks urban chicken farmer Declan Walsh bragged about—rightly—at a recent Slow U seminar) makes their weekend brunches even more of a draw. They source their ingredients very locally using Added Value Farm in Red Hook for their seasonal produce. And, they serve beer from Dogfish Head and cider from Warwick Valley, NY.
