WHO GIVES A SHIT: Park Slope's Tastiest Hot-Weather Treat?

Photo via Park Slope Lens UGUYZ ITS HOT OUT. MY 4,200 FACEBOOK FRIENDS TELL ME SO LIKE TWICE A DAY. And since there's a metric ton of cold, calorie-laden treats in our humble 'hood, it's time to argue over which Kill-Me-It's-So-Hot treat takes the crown in the Slope.

Here are some nominees, though feel free to add your own and yell at me that I overlooked your fave place (it's obviously a personal Internet vendetta):

There Is No 'Sandwich Revolution' In Park Slope

NY Mag's Cheap Eats issue just came out and amongst all of the suggestions of fab, delicious cheap shit to eat, they have this break-out chart of the best turkey sandwiches in the city. There are six sandwiches on the list, and shockingly, four of them come from Brooklyn--that's like 66.9% of the list! Only, BREAKING: none of those bitches come from Park Slope.

NOT. A. ONE.

Translation: we have no "sandwich revolution" in Park Slope.

Clam Shack Baby!

Recently we got word that three dudes are planning on opening up a "New England-style clam shack" called Littleneck in a 1200-foot space over near the Gowanus Canal (specifically, 3rd Ave between Carroll & President). I spent the first twenty-two years of my life in New England and drove by a joint called Clam Haven almost every day on the way to high school, so I'm quite familiar with the ways of the New England-style clam shack. Basically, Brooklynites should get ready to be served big-bellied clams by a big-bellied woman with the sweetest non-ironic mullet you've ever seen.
