Some nights are just epic. Recently, a trip to Fort Greene turned into an epic crawl that wound up in Prospect Heights roughly six hours later. We hit five places serving food & booze - The Smoke Joint, No 7, Franny's, the Vanderbilt and Weathered Up.
First up was some disappointing bbq at The Smoke Joint (87 South Elliott Place). The ribs were just average but the black angus dog was excellent. Forget the sides or even the food - just hit the lengthy bourbon section. After starting off with yet another Manhattan knock-off called the Manhattan Bridge featuring rye and campari that was slightly heavy on the campari and much too warm, we dove into their copious bourbon selection with a dose of Hudson Baby Bourbon, which hit the spot nicely and made up for the spotty culinary selections.
Next up, No 7 and the rest...
