we received [“Afternoon Delight,”

of the great press.

When diners think of a delicious dinner
in Park Slope, Tempo, the Mediterranean-inspired
restaurant and wine bar on Fifth Avenue comes to mind. The casually
elegant Tempo is great for an evening meal, but if you’ve craved
the sunny flavors of chef Michael Fiore’s cooking for a quick
midday bite or thought his lusty "duck roll" or "salmon
a la plancha" would impress business associates at an office
lunch of delicious take-out fare, you were out of luck.

A quick glance at Y Canteen on Sixth Avenue
would lead one to believe that the eatery is another slick, Park
Slope sushi bar. All the elements are there, from the bar where
a chef slices and rolls to the rows of wooden tables with benches.

surround the 1.3-mile Brooklyn Bridge Park housing, commercial and open-space
waterfront development, has thus far been silent on the contentious plan,
while CB6, a board whose district grazes the southern end of the proposed
development, has held or participated in repeated hearings to discuss
the plan and its potential impacts.

A crowd turned out to welcome her, and the gleaming white ship with the
bellowing horn, which burst out louder than even the amplified booming
of Borough President Marty Markowitz’s voice, didn’t disappoint.

project.
