Lynn and I went into Brooklyn (yet again) this time to visit the Red Hook area. We mainly concentrated on visiting locations on Van Brunt street. One of the locations was Fort Defiance where we had a late afternoon Manhattan made with the old school Old Overhoot brand. We were the only people in the restaraunt/bar but with the drink and the general coziness of the place we felt very comfortable. We had just eaten at the Hope and Anchor a block or so away so were were not terribly hungry.
However, some of the invnetive tasty offerings on the FD menu like Grilled baby octopus with black olive butter & shaved fennel as well as Buttermilk fried chicken sandwich with lettuce, pickles, & lemon aioli will bring us back as will some of the great cocktail offerings such as the Bourbon Milk Punch...
