A culinary tour of seedy-but-cool Red Hook, Brooklyn

New York may be the “greatest city on the earth”, but we sure do let some terrible things happen. LeNell's is great. I hope they can figure out another way to stay.

Could Red Hook get any more hyped? As if a Fairway with a view and a burgeoning IKEA weren’t enough to bring the yupsters, the divey taverns of Van Brunt street now have a brand-new neighbor, Tini, an Italian-inspired wine...

NOT Applejack. Now that Lenell's is closed I don’t know where to find this and I need it. Help?

never mind, LeNell is taking care of me :) I think I want to marry that woman :)

I’m trying to find orange bitters (and maybe some other interesting flavors) here in Manhattan. I know that Marlow & Sons and LeNells are options, but I’d rather not shlep to Brooklyn if I don’t need to. Any...

Since you are in NYC you should get over to Lenells in Redhook. She has a full line of hard to get bitters.

It’s actually LeNells (an ‘e’, not an ‘a’) and is exactly the place to find small-batch hard-to-find spirits, especially bourbon. The place is awesome.

Amer Picon isn’t available in the US now. Tragic. I love love love a Picon Punch. You might want to specify where in Brooklyn. One fine spot that I know of is LeNell's in Red Hook. Most midsized liquor stores will have a...

I’ve gotten Boomsa Oude Genever at LeNell's in Red Hook, Brooklyn. I haven’t seen Bols there, but why not give LeNell a call?

Try Lenell's, they might have Torani. They can also tell you the best way to try to find Amer Picon, which I don’t think is made any longer. http://www.lenells.com/selections/bitters.php

What is the best liquor store in NYC and the boroughs for fine spirits. I am a regular at LeNell's in Red Hook and at Astor Wines & Spirits but I am looking for other places that have some of the more difficult to find items,...

After the dramatic “balloon glow,” I set out to do what I thought would be an easy thing: find a place to sip a good bourbon in Bardstown, Kentucky, the hometown of Kentucky bourbon, on the eve of the Kentucky Bourbon...

Zap on Court Street (near State) has a pretty good bourbon selection also. LeNell's in Red Hook was far-and-away the best but unfortunately that is no longer an option.
