Snagged a bottle of this when it was first released and holllleeeeeeeee shit it was incredible and I immediately snagged two more. I realized last week I was down to my last one and it was unavailable. I was fortunate enough to find a little honey hole (no pun intended) and get two more. Literally some of the best bourbon I have ever had. The honey is SO pronounced but it isn't sweet. Absolutely crazy. If you are a bourbon fan I HIGHLY recommend it.

Not sure where everybody is located. But I remember somebody saying Pearl River was where they hang for happy hour.
Trillium brewery is having a tap take over at growler and Gill in Nanuet NY this Saturday. Not too far from Defiant Brewery.

Trillium is worth checking out.

What sandwich stores do you guys like in the city? I haven't made it out to Anthony and Sons yet but it looks really good. Defonte's/Pissillo/Lioni's are great. had all'antico vinaio recently and that was great.


this is up there with lucali's
I think you have that backwards. Lucali's might be up there with John's! (I can't form an opinion as I've never been to Lucali).

When I lived in the city, Manganaro's was the spot for sandwiches. Another NYC icon lost to family in-fighting & greed.

Both good yea. L'Industrie is up there. Juliana's is good too even though its touristy.

Never been to that store. But someone recommended this deli in NJ for Italian specialties.

Agreed, until you remind yourself there are plenty of other options. Especially in Brooklyn.
My favorite borough for food for sure. The bakeries are insane too. both the recent french places that have opened up but old school italian places like mazzola and caputos. now i want lard bread so badly.

Wherever the keg is!
I just googled. Holy shit that looks awesome. Now I want an egg sandwich & a dozen donuts.

If you ever do make it up here to Greenpoint, get:

Coconut Cream
Chocolate Sprinkle Cream
Apple Crumb
French Cruller
Red Velvet
Bostom Cream
Bavarian Cream

And if they have it, you gotta get the oatmeal raisin cookie. They're the size of a Olympic discus!

I've been staring at this website for the past 20 minutes. Every two minutes or so I actually think I smell donuts. :laugh:

I'm literally cursing you right now that I'm 3 hours away from this place. This is a must hit next time I'm in BK. When I go there that Egg Sandwich would be happening even if it was 3pm.

I'm eyeing the fall collection of
Apple Cider Glazed
Maple
Maple Bar
Maple Bar with white creme.

Then I'm thinking
Red Velvet whatever
Marble Cruller
Bavarian Eclair
Chocolate Cake
Sour Cream (I love sour cream donuts!, not too many places make em)
Boston Cream
Vanilla Frosted with Sprinkles
& A plain glazed because why not!

Finally I want a chocolate chip cookie, a peanut butter cookie, & a black & white cookie. I love oatmeal cookies, but I despise raisins.

If you want a good place to get a good hearty meal, I recommend a Polish restaurant called Karczma. I get almost always get the grilled plate:

Grilled kielbasa, Polish bacon, a little salmon, Polish blood sausage.

In the mood for some good Mexican, I go to either Calexico or Vamos al Tequila.

The lemon filled, strawberry filled, blueberrry filled all sound great too.

Thanks. Love Polish food and I def don't eat it enough. Looks good to me. Not a blood sausage fan though so hopefully they would give me some extra kielbasa instead.

I'm more of a cream guy...I don't love fruit filled donuts, but I'd give em a shot at this place. I'm sitting wondering if I could finish the dozen in one sitting after I devour that egg sandwich. Look at Yelp pics for the egg sandwich if you haven't seen what it looks like. LOL I have problems. :laugh:

They don't have it as often, but their Sour Cream donut is good. They also have buttermilk with blueberries, which is also heavenly.

Their eclaires have cream. I usually hate those but the cream they use also is the cream they use on the donuts, but if they have it, GET THE ONE WITH THE PUDDING INSIDE!

Compared to the rest, they only give one piece of blood sausage, so they won't have a problem substituting either more sausage or bacon.
