del.icio.usNo matter what your plans are for Thanksgiving, we recommend getting Baked beforehand. The pies — pumpkin, apple and a divine chocolate pecan — at the Red Hook sweet shop (359 Van Brunt St. at Wolcott Street) are available through Tuesday, Nov. 20 for pickup.
But if you’ve already got enough sweets for the table, you can always use more on the television, right? On Nov. 25 at 8 pm, Melissa Murphy, the chef and owner at Sweet Melissa Patisserie (276 Court St. at Douglass Street in Carroll Gardens and 175 Seventh Ave. at Second Street in Park Slope) will appear on a holiday-themed episode of “The Food Network Challenge.”
And speaking of challenges, is staying open in Park Slope now one of them? Last week, the New Prospect Cafe suddenly closed, leaving crunchy Slopers one less place to park their strollers as they munch.
If it is, nobody told the folks at Piramide (499 Fifth Ave. at 12th Street), a “modern Mexican cafe” opening on Nov. 26 for three nights of complimentary tasting, wine and mariachi music.
Need something to wash it all down with? Stop into the borough’s newest spirits emporium, Old Brooklyn Wine & Liquor Company (145 Union St. at Columbia Street in the Columbia Street Waterfront District), which opened just two weeks ago, for a bottle of whatever will get you through the holiday season.
