The Best Thing We Ate This Week: Ordering the skirt steak at any ol’ eatery can yield a grab bag of results — a bland, heavily oiled or overcooked beef slab can leave you wishing you ordered something a little more exciting. But we’re proud to show off the one at Buttermilk Channel, which is not only the best thing we ate this week, but quite possibly the best skirt steak anywhere outside of Argentina.

The $64-million question
Perspective: Borough President Markowitz wants to build a $64-million open-air concert hall inside Asser Levy Seaside Park in Coney Island. The plan is controversial because the new venue would be close to two synagogues and city law currently forbids amplified music so near houses of worship (though that law is currently being changed to accommodate Markowitz’s annual concert series). With the amphitheater about to get its final approval, we asked two neighborhood machers to weigh in. Click below to read their opinion pieces.
