Fort Greene: November 2006 Archives

Stuff to check out this weekend:

• One of my favorite online shops, Fred Flare, has a pop-up store in Williamsburg for the holidays. It's at 175 N 10th Street, and it's open this Friday through Christmas Eve. [Via FashionGeek]
• Prospect Park's Kate Wollman Rink opens on Thanksgiving from 10 a.m.- 1 p.m., 2 p.m.-6 p.m. and stays open all weekend long. It's $5 admission ($3.50 kids and seniors) and $5.50 skate rental.
• Check out one of Brooklyn Museum's cool exhibits: Ron Mueck's gigantic people, animalistic watercolors by Walton Ford and an Annie Leibovitz retrospective.
• Celebrate a new Bonita location  that's only three G stops away in Fort Greene. [Via Brooklyn Record]
• And reason enough for second helpings of turkey: The F train isn't all screwy--yea for holiday tourist season!

We've been eating more outside the hood lately, so we'd like to solicit some feeding advice from the neighborhood experts.Who's been to La Lunetta (old Taku space), Porchetta (since they got a new chef), and the new Thai place in old Tuk Tuk (name is escaping me)?

We've been twice now to the Smoke Joint in Fort Greene and can recommend the wings, the beef ribs and the greens. Not so much the pork ribs or the mac and cheese. They do have the Southern hospitality down pat, though.
