Park Slope is the Epic Epicenter of Epicurean Sustainability

If you're like me (I know I certainly am), you can't get enough of that slow food, locavore, farm-to-table, sustainable eating, foodie hoo-haw stuff.  Lucky for us, Park Slope is the center of the frickin' universe when it comes to that, according to Off Manhattan's recent survey of Top Green Restaurants in Brooklyn and Queens. 

Two Slope restaurants, Applewood and Rose Water, made the list. Both eateries got props not only for using locally-sourced seasonal ingredients, but also for cooking food that is super delicious. I salivated just reading the blurb on Applewood: "Not only are their vegetables from local farmers and fish always wild, but most meats are butchered on-site" (I love eating meat that's butchered in-house, see?).

At first blush, it might look like we're tied with Williamsburg, since they also have two restaurants on the list (4 Course Vegan and Nitehawk). Guess what, though? HOWEVER, one other restaurant on the list, The Farm on Adderley in Ditmas Park, was bringing amazing food to Celebrate Brooklyn events all summer long. That tomato-bread salad was so good, it'd make you wanna slap yer mamma. So, we can thank our neighbors in Ditmas for helping The Slope beat Williamsburg.

Park Slope FOR THE WIN!
