#40: Veggies

For 6 months I lived with family in the most picturesque house on the promenade in Brooklyn Heights... And I seemed to find myself in a lot of dark bars in Williamsburg. True to form, you don't appreciate anything until it's gone. When I was moving, my eyes became suddenly wide open to the many amazing places right outside my door... and I was determined to take advantage. With this new intent, I biked to Vinegar Hill House. As I rode to the point where Columbia Place meets old Fulton (passing possibly the most breathtaking view of Manhattan you'll get) and onto Front Street, I noticed a slew of gems (Grimaldis, Superfine, Pedros). Then the street narrowed, turned to cobble stone and ended...a sign you are near the best-hidden gem of all!

VHH was over the top delicious, and I think one of they key things there are their seasonal sides. There was a creamed corn, and even more amazing, beets with an avocado puree sauce on top. Often I look at a menu and really just want appetizers and sides (how many times do you need a main plate of protein, potato and veggie garnish?). If you feel the same way I recommend you go here and indulge. This is totally my Brooklyn Northern Spy.
