In "Hits the ’Spot’ " [GO Brooklyn, Oct. 21, 2006]
the description of V Spot’s "Boardwalk fudge" was incorrect.
The dessert does not come with ice cream, and it is not raw.
The restaurant is waiting for its beer and wine license, not
a liquor license. V Spot does have smoothies, but does not have
fresh-squeezed juices. We regret the errors.

Reporter and thrill-seeker Matt Power grinned
childishly while sitting in a small cafe in Prospect Heights.
He probably had that same smile on his face while clutching the
handlebars of his motorcycle and rolling 5,000 miles through
the Andes, South America’s majestic mountain range.

hundreds of works at lightning speed, the bulk of his output
is often considered lightweight, lacking in true artistry.
