REVIEW'D: ROYAL ROSE COCKTAIL SYRUPS

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in New York City who is not on some form of anti-depressants.  Because of that, I drink a whole lot.  SELF-MEDICATION, IT'S TOTALLY FINE.

So when the folks over at Royal Rose Syrups wanted to send me some stuff to try out, I was totally into it.  I'm not getting drunk because I have a problem, MOTHER, I'm getting drunk because it's WORK.  

And what hard work it is.

[WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER AT...] Juventino

WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER AT... is a recurring column designed in kind for your opinionated asses and our lazy asses.  We're going to pick one Park Slope resto a week and recommend our favorite dish at each.  Are we right?  Are we wrong?  YOU KNOW YOU WANNA WEIGH IN.  

What I like so much about Juventino (370 5th Ave, between 5th and 6th Sts, 718-360-8469) is that they manage to pull off that organic, farm-to-table bullshit without being snobby about it.  They really care about the ingredients that they're serving.  It manages to be both delightful and delicious, and THAT is the first time I've ever said the word "delightful" in my life.

BREAKING: Tonios is Closed?

DAMMIT.

Based on the Yelp reviews, I know lots of you btchz were not Tonios fans (306 7th Ave between 7th and 8th streets), however, I loved the shit out of the place! And since we moved to Park Slope 5 years ago, we would regularly hit up this joint whenever we were in the mood for some old school Italian. Well no more.

From the Tonio's website:

"Sadly, after 19 years, Tonio has retired and closed his restaurant!! :("

[WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER AT...] Fornino

We've had a million bazillion posts and comments about the best pizza in Park Slope (HINT: It's not Smiling Happy Face Pizzeria).  While Fornino (256 Fifth Ave between Garfield and Carroll Sts, 718-399-8600) doesn't have the BEST pizza in Park Slope, it does have good pizza, and other Italian junk.
