We've had a last minute line-up change. Tal will not be DJing Suspiria tonight (4/11). In his place, I will be making my first public DJ appearance in over 10 years. Check out my last mix "Dionysus And The Pleiades," for a sample.

The fun starts at 11PM and goes to whenever, with no cover required.

If you're near downtown Brooklyn and looking to get your groove on, but don't want to train or cab-it to Manhattan, then you must check out Suspiria.

I was going to take photos of each of our dishes at Lunetta (my first time there, incidentally) ... and then I forgot. Call it a testament to the food or perhaps a compliment to our engaging dinner party company. I did, at least, snag a shot of the menu.

I started with the baby arugula salad with hazelnuts and parmesan, which was tossed with a very zingy dressing. The generous presence of crunchy hazelnuts and the tart parmesan made this a worthy order. However, after tasting a companion's ricotta bruschetta, and learning sous-chef Betsy Devine whips the ricotta up fresh, I wanted to give up my leafy greens.

Next up,  I went with the "famed" Lunetta meatballs. The presence of what I think were currants definitely took these tender beauties over the top, as did the simple garlic-tomato sauce I enthusiastically sopped up with our table's extra bread. The other pasta option was a nice complement, but if I had to choose, meatballs would win every time.

Finally, like most of our table, I opted for the fiore de latte panna cotta with pinenut brittle. While the panna cotta itself was good enough, the pinenut brittle was what pulled the raves, with everyone surprised at how much it tasted of pine nuts and how much pine nuts improve on the concept of nut brittle.

We also had a great bottle of red, the Torrette Les Crete 05 from Valle D'Aosta. $58 at Lunetta, retails for $28 if you want to try it for your own Italian feast at home.

Brooklyn never does a stellar job of advertising its Restaurant Week, which is why I usually realize it's about to happen when the bus stop advertisement goes up on Court Street and 3rd Place.

The $23 three-course deals run from March 24 to 31. To see the complete list, check out the borough's site.

A few of my recommendations in the area:
Lunetta
Chestnut
Crave
Korhogo 126
Petite Crevette
Applewood
Blue Ribbon
Zenkichi (Williamsburg)

After a brief hiatus, the ABL:Radio crew is back to our regular DJ shenanigans. We're taking over the basement at a swanky new club on Atlantic Ave (between Hoyt and Bond) called Deity. The party will run on a bi-weekly basis if all goes as planned.

The DJ line-up for the first night will consist of Bethany Benzur, Ladycreme, and Carrie Whitenoise.

According to the sign in the window, the New St. Clair Restaurant (at the corner of Atlantic and Smith streets) opens for business tomorrow. I can't actually say I went to the old one, but the new one sure looks nice.
