[WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER AT...] Sotto Voce

IMAGE VIA PARK SLOPE LENS

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.  

I used to live literally around the corner for Sotto Voce (225 7th Avenue, 718-369-9322), so I have been known to patronize their mediocre brunch because it is cheap and they offer unlimited drinks.

If Gowanus is the red-headed stepchild of the area, the South Slope is your dumbass cousin that you never want to see or talk to.  When I moved to the South Slope (it's cheaper!) over a year ago, I was none-too-pleased with the lack of bars and restaurants down here.  

So, I end up at Johnny Mack's a lot, not because I love it, but because it's fine and I'm lazy.  The same could be said about my first marriage (just kidding, no one would ever marry me).

Question: how many drunken nights have you ended up at The Dram Shop, wanting to get above-average bar food to soak up all of the poison you poured down your throat in the previous hours?

Answer: Many, if you're someone like me, who literally said to a waitress this weekend, "Can I have two shots of jager and the check please?"

This place might be called "Smiling Pizzeria," but my friends and I tend to refer to it as "Smiling Happy Face Pizza," which recalls some sort of Asian laundry service ("Crystal Clean Happy Laundry Place"), or the ridiculous stripmall mainstay in Connecticut, "USA Baby Child Space" (yes, that is a real store).

Have you ever walked into a restaurant and thought to yourself, "Wow, this place is about as confused as my Broadway musical-loving cousin David!"

Well—welcome to 200 Fifth.
