On the Blogs

Here’s Park Slope had the scoop on a couple of new developments in the Slope restaurant scene. For starter’s, a new Peruvian bistro named Surfish is headed for the former Willie's Dawgs space on Fifth Avenue between Fourth and Fifth streets. Another new burger spot called Bare Burger is coming to the ‘hood – according to blogger Dan Myers, all the meat is organic and burgers come in varieties like elk, bison, and ostrich. And lastly, The Soup Bowl, the seasonal soup spot on Seventh Avenue just north of Ninth Street, bid adieu for the season.

Effed in Park Slope had a great profile of Joe Holtz, longtime General Coordinator of the Park Slope Food Coop. Among other revelations, we learned that Holtz has an insanely cluttered work space. 

Over at Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn, blogger Louise Crawford penned an obituary of sorts for Warren Fox, a neighborhood fixture (and landlord) who passed away last month.

The L Magazine also had a pretty funny feature on the bathrooms of Park Slope bars.

And finally, Brownstoner had the scoop on a new designer vintage clothing store headed for South Slope.
