Ditmas in AMNY

Friday, July 30th, 2010

The free subway paper AM New York featured a giant spread on Ditmas Park yesterday, [online here, starting at page 17, as a reader points out.]

It begins: “Warning: Stepping off the subway at Beverley Road in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn in confusing, and many visitors may wonder if they are still in New York City.”

It’s a nice, four-page feature, though, and does a good job of highlighting great local spots from Sacred Vibes to Purple Yam to Vox, and the newest ones — Toy Space and the Costello Plan. The author had particular affection for the watermelon salad at the Farm.

    The watermelon salad at the Farm is the single best item on their entire menu, year-round.

    • 10 Movies They Better Not Remake (Or Else) September 4, 2010
      I don't mind sequels and prequels and spinoffs, but remakes of movies -- especially those less than 20 years old -- really annoy me. It just smacks so much of lack of new ideas as opposed to any sort of homage. Here are 10 movies they better not remake or else there will be the Hurting...10.

Seeing them piled atop one another, bathing in the early morning (er, more like late morning) light makes […]
