Roseann’s 5-star review: Oh em effing GEE. This place was heaven. We went to Dumbo to find some street art, and officially want to move there. We went to Smorgasboard today without knowing it was going to be there. Our original choice was to just go to Brooklyn Bridge Park. I got hungry and we were going to just grab a hot dog on the street since we were going to Korzo later on. My gut told me not to do it. Then I stumbled on this little gem of a place. We walked into this old, opened up Tobacco Factory and are hit with this overwhelming anxiety of not knowing what we should get!! We saw lumpia, a pickle stand, pulled pork, pho, tacos. We got a little bit of a bunch of things, popped a squat on the nearby lawn of Brooklyn Bridge park, then died and went to heaven. I've already planned another visit with a few girls from work. My fiance and I want to go every Sunday until it closes!! Dumbo is an awesome area, and this makes it even better! -
Roseann’s 5-star review: Perfect day for my first Brooklyn Bridge experience. It was a bit overcrowded with tourists, but that's fine. I'm loving Brooklyn more and more every time I go! -
Roseann’s 5-star review: My boyfriend and I came here once for dinner and left feeling extremely happy with our experience. We ordered the geisha the first time which came with tons of food--this time we got a lunch special for two with almost just as much food. The crispy rice is amazing, but so is everything else at this place. The novelty of cooking your own food makes it that much better. The waiters are awesome as well. Come here at happy hour when they have amazing specials. The meat and veggies are fresh and the s'mores at the end of your meal make everything complete. You'll definitely leave here feeling full and satisfied. -
Roseann’s 4-star review: A coworker recommended we come here after a day at Cony Island. We originally tried Totonno's, but I was rudely told it would be an hour and a half wait for a pie. We left, and my boyfriend remembered the suggestion regarding L&B. Not only was there sufficient parking, but the pizza was awesome. Instead of shelling out 20 dollars for a whole pie that we weren't going to eat, we only paid 12 for 4 slices and 2 sodas. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that this place is GUIDO CENTRAL. Living on Long Island, I thought I had seen the guidoest of the guidos, but this place proved me wrong =P. Good pizza, nice atmosphere--4 stars. -
Roseann’s 5-star review: My boyfriend took me here 3 weekends ago to show me some art. I was never interested in graffiti before coming here and now we've been going to each of the boroughs to check out more amazing murals. It's a free museum in our backyard. We've even talked about getting some wedding photos taken here (we aren't even engaged =P) We got to talk to an artist from France who was in the middle of a piece which was pretty cool. The Fire Marshal mural is absolutely amazing. Hope this place stays around for many many more years. -
Roseann’s 5-star review: Awesome, where else can you get entertainment in NY for 5 dollars? We walked in and it was packed, but we got a front row seat right as the show was ending. The best part is you can come and go as you please, and watch the show multiple times. Kitch factor was high (hypnotizing swirly machine and the host's corny jokes), but so was the entertainment level. We saw a man with his hands up where his shoulders should be--his act was short but gross. The patchwork girl was good, in a completely awkward way. The absolute show stealers were insectavora and betty bloomerz. Betty was effing cute and after leaving the show, I realized I wanted to be just like her!! She resembled a1930's pinup girl and was able to contort herself in ways I've never seen before. Insectavora's fire swallowing act was amazing and we actually stayed to watch it twice. The way she was on time with the music was astounding. We are currently considering hiring the side show to perform at our wedding (we aren't even engaged yet). We're also considering engagement photos at the venue. Although we didn't go to the bar attached to the side show, there were people freely walking in with Cony Island beers which I thought was pretty awesome. I would definitely recommend coming here after a day on the boardwalk or aquarium--besides, it costs less to come here than it does to ride the cyclone one time ;) go to spumoni gardens after for pizza!! -
Roseann’s 4-star review: Our waiter/host was awesome. The coffee was great. We got an order of fried deviled eggs to split and we each got chicken an waffles. I think the gravy could've been a LITTLE better, but damn those waffles were delicious. The space was tight, but I'm pretty sure it's about the same size of any other restaurant in Brooklyn. The wait wasn't bad, considering we were waiting almost an hour for Pies n Thighs. Glad we opted out and came here, totally worth it!! Btw, sorry about the hot sauce knock over incident!! -
Roseann’s 4-star review: Going to be a summer tradition with my boyfriend. We went to the side show a few weeks ago and my boyfriend remembered his parents talking about this parade. We went this past weekend and it was awesome. We got there at 11 to get a good view--a little premature, but we got to see a lot of people hanging out in their costumes. We hung out in front of the side show bar, lots of interesting things going on there today! Most of the costumes are amazing, the parade lasted a whlie--but there were annoying pauses to let people cross the street to get to and from the boardwalk. Tons of girls with just pasties, and babies dressed as mermaids. so many different kinds of people, great atmosphere--will definitely come back -
Roseann’s 4-star review: I was honestly a bit underwhelmed with Wicked, but it was still amazing. If the 205$ price tag was not attached, I would have enjoyed it more. I think there is SO much hype surrounding this play, that I was expecting a bit more. The actors and actresses amazing. Singing, amazing. Costumes, amazing. THE STORY, AMAZING!! I thought there would be so much more to the set and special effects. I guess the hype is more based on the acting and story plot rather than the wow factor. I was not wowed a lot in the 2 hours and 45 minutes of the play. This was probably due to the fact that it was FREEZING in the theater. Multiple people around us complained to management about temperature control. I loved the "Defying Gravity" scene as well as "Popular". I'm going to assume these are the two most loved songs in the show. We saw Richard H. Blake in his last show as Fiyero-he was definitely awesome. Elphie and Glinda were awesome as well. I definitely recommend this for a younger audience for sure. My grandma did not appreciate it as much as my sister and I did...we are 20 and 24--my mom absolutely loved it as it was her first broadway show. Take your teens and young girls, but get a deal on the tickets--spending over 800 dollars for 4 people to see a show is a bit much..but do not miss out!! P.S. -- go to Tony's DiNapoli afterwards for dinner!
