There has been a lot of chatter about comfort food over the past few years, in particular that old school favorite, Mac & Cheese. Hipster-saturated Williamsburg was serving it up back when the L Café was offering Bedford Ave’s only alternative food. It was never that great. Now, it’s a Thai-Sushi-Noodle wasteland on and just off Bedford. There are exceptions, but they ruin the flow of this piece!
Over in nearby Greenpoint (10 blocks away), comfort food has taken on a more grown-up nuance, leaving behind the less-than-expertly prepared fare of the early Bedford Ave days. Still alternative but more thoughtful than their predecessors. Comfort food has put some new roots.
And now, given the current chaotic state of the economy and the “ack” that many of us experience daily, Greenpoint is happy to annouce a food crawl that is bound to make us all feel a little better: The Greenpoint Mac n Cheese Crawl;
This Sunday, From 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., chefs from Red Star, The Habitat, The Mark Bar, and t.b.d. Brooklyn will serve up free samples of their particular macaroni and cheese. Then at 8 p.m., the crawl will end at t.b.d. Brooklyn. Crawlers & judges (Camille Bercerra , maybe?) will determine who makes Greenpoint's best mac and cheese.
Did I mention the drink specials at each restaurant? Indeed, there will be drink specials! Crawl your way into Mac n Cheese:
