It’s no secret that the Gowanus’s first clam shack, Littleneck, has been very successful. Just last week they were in the New Yorker and the week before it was the New York Times or maybe it was the New York Post? No one can really remembers what came out when at this point, it’s just abundantly clear that Littleneck is a big hit! But the clam shack owner’s, who started their success with a kickstarter, aren’t just content with one popular place in Gowanus. Just a few doors down from Littleneck inside what was once Tony’s bagels, construction is underway on some type of eatery (maybe with tapas) by the clam shack boys and another investor. Details about what food and drinks that will be served are not yet set in stone…or at least being kept secret for the time being. If you poke your head inside the new venue you will find a wooden bar on the right side and some rural aesthetics, similar to the atmosphere found in Littleneck. Unlike Littleneck though, this place has a nice backyard, which we are sure the clam shack boys and their new investor will design to be a romantic hideaway underneath a glorious Gowanus sky. Right now the eatery is scheduled to open at some point in July.
This place will join a growing scene in the area that includes: Brooklyn Robot Foundry, Cotta-Bene’s, Twig Terrariums, Runners & Stone (coming in Fall), Monte’s, Gowanus Grove, Littleneck, Canal Bar, Film Biz Recycling, Keur Djembe Drum Shop, Triomph Fitness, Swoon, 718 Cyclery, Juice Haven, Brooklyn Boulder, Littleneck, Gowanus Arts Building, and so many more!

The best events are always ones that allow you to multitask. For example at the upcoming BassAss BBQ you can eat, drink, and save animals all at once.
Here’s how the event will go…
For $25.00 you can eat BBQ till you explode and get a free drink too! And if that’s not awesome enough then you can totally find a four-legged friend to help you eat said BBQ (safely) by adopting a dog from Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue.
According to the event page:
“Every penny Badass raises goes entirely to one cause: rescuing incredible dogs.”
No one can really beat something so unbelievably kick-ass! The Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue group has rescued and found homes for 275 dogs since last spring. Saving animals is the coolest and sexiest thing anyone can ever do! If someone says you can eat BBQ while doing the coolest and sexiest thing ever, that’s like the ultimate badass situation!
This event is rolling into Gowanus May 6th, 2012 at Canal Bar. Check out details and get your tickets here.

We dreamed one time that we’d eat healthy… that we’d stop our habit of eating ramen noodles as our main source of sustenance…that we’d one day eat food that didn’t come from a can. That day has come because there is yummy produce rolling into Gowanus from Ithaca, NY. Fresh healthy produce will ironically be available along the banks of the ‘river stinky’ aka the Gowanus Canal at BIG NYC!(69 9th St. Brooklyn, NY) from June to November.

WHAT IS A CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a partnership between a local farm and members of the surrounding community. The Full Plate Farm Collective CSA is a collective model, where multiple farms work together to provide produce for a common membership and the community pledges to support the farm. By making a financial commitment to a farm, people become “members” of the CSA and receive a weekly share of produce.
