Someone broke the Sixth Avenue restaurant’s top window.
Somebody is not so sweet on SweetWolf’s. Some time between 12:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. Friday, a vandal threw a rock and broke the first plate of glass of the restaurant’s doubled-paned window, according to Tim Judge, the co-owner of the new neighborhood joint on Sixth Avenue at the corner of 12th Street. Judge is asking neighbors to give any eyewitness accounts if they saw or heard anything during the January 6 incident. The restaurant started as a Facebook sensation, where Judge and the other co-owner, Eric Wolf, asked their soon-to-be-patrons to create their classic American menu by posting ideas on their wall. They opened in late November, and serve a wide range of meat, poultry, fish, vegetarian and vegan dishes, mostly cooked in their …

The highly anticipated Sixth Avenue restaurant opened this past Saturday.
Before SweetWolf’s opened its doors, or even decided what it will serve, it started a Facebook sensation. Now, it is hoping to become somewhat of a neighborhood sensation. The restaurant, owned by Eric Wolf and Tim Judge, the former manager of Toby’s Public House, created its menu through community input on its Facebook page. For the first week or so SweetWolf’s menu will change daily. The restaurant, which is on Sixth Avenue between 12th and 13th streets, is only serving dinner until Friday, when they will serve their first lunch. Going forward, it will be open starting from 12 p.m. for lunch and 4 p.m. for dinner. “We are so humbled by the support and feedback we have gotten from our neighbors and we have listened. Our menu features many…

SweetWolf's, a soon-to-open restaurant on Sixth Avenue and 12th Street, built its menu from the community's suggestions on Facebook.
SweetWolf's, a restaurant that is slated to open any day now on Sixth Avenue, blurred the lines between reality and virtual reality by asking future patrons to post menu ideas on their Facebook page this summer. Finally, cultivated from the ideas posted on the restaurant’s Facebook wall and tweaked with their own taste, the menu is set. Although the owners, Tim Judge (the former manager of Toby’s Public House) and Eric Wolf, are keeping it a secret until the soft opening, they did let Patch in on a little secret. Four items below will be on the menu: Wolf and Judge said that the menu will revolve around “classic American cuisine” cooked in a wood-burning brick oven. It will also be vegan, vegetarian, and Gluten-free friendly, but will …

A new restaurant slated for the Slope is using Facebook to rack up buzz—and a menu.
Yet another new restaurant will open in the Slope this August, but this eatery boasts a 21st century twist: the menu will be decided by the eatery's neighbors, based on suggestions submitted via the restaurant’s Facebook page. SweetWolf’s, on Sixth Avenue at the corner of 12th Street, will be all about community, the virtual and the real. The Facebookers whose menu ideas are picked by the owners, Tim Judge and Eric Wolf, will be invited to the soft opening to eat, drink and tweak the menu by taste testing. “Park Slope is a real community. What a better way to be a neighborhood restaurant than by involving our neighbors to decide the menu?” said Tim Judge, the former manager of Toby’s Public House. Of course, Judge and Wolf have set a few …

Local businesses are adopting aggressive social media campaigns to stand out from the crowd.
Bogota Latin Bistro’s 5,247th tweet was simple and alluring. “Come closer,” the June 25 post read. “Take a look. You know you want one. Columbian chicken tamale: Delicious.” For any of the 1,701 people who happen to follow Bogota Latin Bistro’s feed on Twitter, there was probably no question of whether to click on the URL following that tweet, which would have relocated him or her to a picture of a big green, glistening tamale. Perhaps, after a long gander at the thing, that follower even picked up the phone and ordered takeout. Restaurant co-owner Farid Ali sure hopes they did. In fact, for a guy who doesn’t buy print advertising, he’s pretty much banking on it. Ali is just one of the many Park Slope business owners riding the social …
