So it'd been a while since I'd paid attention to my sidebar links, and today I got a proverbial bee in my bonnet. I've broken the Brooklyn links into two categories: Good Brooklyn and Good Brooklyn Lives. The first set linking to more neighborhood-focused blogs, the second linking to the many fascinating lives people live in Brooklyn. I've also broken out a Brooklyn photoblogs section and expanded the New York blogs link.  I haven't even touched the Good Eats or Good Drinks (my mouse finger is tired). So I thought I'd ask for a little help. Are we missing any fabulous Brooklyn or city blogs? We'll also be updating the music, politics and geek links soon. Any ideas, email us or leave comments.

I'm sure there are a million and one Valentine's dinner specials in the neighborhood. Feeling lazy on this chilly Sunday, so I'm only going to tell you about the ones that landed in my inbox:
- Flatbush Farm is doing three courses for $65 each. If I were dining there that night, I'd have (1) mesclun salad with blood oranges, blue cheese, citrus vinagrette, (2) roast pheasant, champagne sour kraut, foie gras sauce, (3) passion fruit tart with mango.
- Schnack is celebrating the holiday with garlic, naturally. There's no choice here, but for $12 (a $5.15 savings over the normal price), you get garlic greens, a garlic single burger, RC Cola pork ribs with a garlic-reduction glaze and garlic mashed potatoes. Also, according to Harry, if you visible kiss your partner at the end, you get a half-priced bread pudding ($2.25). No word on whether you'll have to sprinkle garlic on top. But there is a note that you must be 18 ...
That's actually all the restaurant emails I have for now. Have them? Send them :)
