TAKE IT SLOW
There’s nothing more satisfying on a cold
night than sitting beside a fireplace, listening to the logs
crackle and watching the embers fly. Add a dinner made with organic
ingredients and cooked slowly, and you have one blissful evening.
Such an experience is the aim of David and Laura Shea, whose
restaurant Applewood opened in Park Slope in September. Comment.
BUDDING ROMANCE
The set of engravings of plants in the
Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s new exhibit, "Banks Florilegium:
An Eighteenth-Century Botanical Art Treasure Rediscovered,"
is of interest to everyone from scientists, to lovers of botanical
art to those who love a good old-fashioned story of adventure
on the high seas. Comment.
DEAR DIARY
Fifteen years ago, Ellen Cassedy inherited
an old bureau from her aunt, Jessie Sylvester. In that bureau
she found a diary that inspired her to write a play, "Beautiful
Hills of Brooklyn," which will be featured at the March
5 First Saturday event at the Brooklyn Museum. Comment.
TWO PREMIERES
Ballet aficionados have something to look
forward to on March 6, when Colorado Ballet returns to the Brooklyn
Center for the Performing Arts for the third time. Comment.
DUMBO RECIPE SWAP
In the old days, neighbors wouldn’t think
twice about borrowing cups of flour from one another in a pinch
or sharing casserole recipes. To bring back a taste of that culinary
camaraderie, the DUMBO Neighborhood Association (DNA) is launching
an effort to collect local recipes. Comment.
’MOON’ SHOT
Laurie Anderson has been called a visual
artist, composer, poet, photographer, filmmaker, electronics
wiz, vocalist and instrumentalist. But she’s really best described
as a metaphysical reporter. Comment.
BODY OF WORK
When a desperate mother brought her eczema-ridden
infant into Karen’s Body Beautiful, a natural body-care products
store in Clinton Hill, owner Karen Tappin Saunderson knew just
what to do. Comment.
To the Editor
Letters: I enjoyed reading the article “Underdog
is here,” by Karen Butler [GO Brooklyn, Feb. 19]. It is sad indeed
that Paul Giamatti was left off the ballot for a Best Actor Oscar for
his role in the comedy film “Sideways.” Comment.
SEA CHANGE
Like marriage, restaurants begin with the
best intentions. And, like a union doomed from the beginning,
they’ll close - sometimes months later - with the owners saying,
"Why didn’t we see the problems from the start?" Comment.
NEW CLASSICS
Far from being museum pieces that are
only performed exactly as written, many classical works come
in different versions, whether sanctioned (or even rearranged)
by the composer himself or reconstructed by someone else. Comment.
