Online Business Turned Pie Shop Opens On Park Slopes 5th Avenue - Park Slope, NY Patch

Posted: 19 Aug 2019 08:52 AM PDT

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — A kickstarter campaign to turn her online pie business into a brick and mortar shop might not have been successful, but Lindsey Hill still found a way to bring her "love-filled" pies to Fifth Avenue.

Miss American Pie, a 50s-inspired pie shop and cafe, officially opened over the weekend at 86 Fifth Ave., two months after Lindsey Hill originally signed a lease for the storefront and started raising money online for her new business.

"The last few days have been very exhausting and stressful, but I am excited about the prospect of being open," Hill told Patch last week.

The shop will be the first storefront for the Miss American Pie owner, who has sold her pies online using a rental kitchen after leaving the fashion industry in 2016 to pursue her love of baking.

Hill had originally hoped to bring in $30,000 from the online campaign to help buy new equipment and renovate the space, but ultimately only gathered about $8,000 in donations. The campaign wasn't totally unsuccessful, though, she said.

"The kickstarter was not financially successful, but it did get me a lot of exposure, which I think was worth it," she said.

She brought in an additional $9,000 from friends and family, Hill added.

The new shop will create a 50s diner feel with a modern twist, she told Patch when planning the store.

The menu will feature a wide range of dessert pies, savory pies and other pastries, including gluten free and vegan options. Her best sellers so far have been a signature apple, peaches and blueberry pie with an oatmeal crumble and lattice crust on top or her coconut cream pie, which has a secret ingredient in its crust, she said.

Hill also hopes to create a community space in the new store. Miss American Pie will likely hold monthly community events, can be rented for parties and will feature local artists on its walls.

"Pie is a memory food — people want pie like their grandma used to make," she said. "In the fast pace of the city I think we're getting away from that. It's hard to even remember how great it is to sit around and eat pie together."

Red Bank's vacant Anderson Building gets hip new look, and stores to match - Asbury Park Press

RED BANK - For decades, Anderson Moving & Storage, an old warehouse on Monmouth Street across from the train station, has stood vacant.

Look at the Anderson Building now.

Metrovation, the Red Bank developer that purchased it back in 2006, has transformed it into a four-story 49,000-square-foot building that will mix retail and offices with outdoor patios and shared spaces.

Sickles, a second location for Sickles Market in Little Silver, and Bottles By Sickles, a liquor store, is expected to open in the late fall, taking up the entire first floor. Booskerdoo Coffee Co. will operate a coffee and espresso kiosk at Sickles too. The Sawtooth Group, a creative and brand consultancy firm in Red Bank, has leased the fourth floor.

A spa is lining up to locate on the third floor. A financial services firm and an interior designer are expected to lease office space.

"To me, it is just this hive of activity," Chris Cole, Metrovation's managing partner, told What's Going There during a recent tour. "I want people when they come into the building to feel like it's different than something they've seen elsewhere and that it's inspiring."

Metrovation also owns and operates the Grove at Shrewsbury, the Grove West, 89 Newman Springs, all in Shrewsbury, and West Side Lofts in Red Bank, among others.

Construction started in earnest in the second quarter of 2018. The design, which is inspired by the Pacific Northwest and uses part of the original 24,000-square-foot building, added a fourth floor to the building's west side.

"I just just trying to create a little different unique feel, but still make it feel like it's connected to the neighborhood and it wasn't completely like a spaceship dropped in here," Cole said.

Cole said he expects it to be fully occupied by the middle of 2020.

Workers are finishing the building's interiors. Sickles is building out its store on the first floor. The store's equipment will be delivered later this month.

Bob Sickles, the third-generation owner of Sickles Market, a Little Silver landmark, said Sickles is a specialty gourmet food store with fresh produce, including locally-sourced items, meat, fish and floral departments. The store also will offer delicatessen, prepared food, ice cream, gelato and sushi. 

Bottles by Sickles will be a small liquor store. "We are just trying to add little touches," Sickles said. "I have always wanted for the past 20-something years to bring farm market together with urban specialty food store."

The store hours will be 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week, hours that help cater to life next to a train station that connects Red Bank to New York City.

Among the features, a garage door-style window that can open from the floor to the ceiling and a curbside window where customers can place an order.

The 8,000-square-foot store will attract customers from around Red Bank, as well as Middletown and the surrounding area, Sickles said. "I think that being a place where the food is special, it is very important to us not to be the average thing that you can almost get anywhere," Sickles said. "We want to be relatively unique."

There are other unique aspects of the Anderson Building. The lobby will have a two-story "green wall." The main steps from the first to second floor are made from wood salvaged from the Seattle Times building, which was demolished in 2017.

In the parking lot, Metrovation plans to install four 40-foot-long shipping containers. One can be used by restaurant or other retail business, such as a pop-up store. Another will be an apartment.

"These are going to be really cool," Cole said. "We are really going all out on things, investing in them and making sure they look and feel cool."

Three Forks Local Greens, a hydroponic farm company that grows greens using no pesticides and little water, will set up in a container.

The leafy greens grown there, including lettuces and herbs, will be sold at Sickles, said Sean Peris, a co-owner.

"We are actually going to have windows in it so the train when it goes by can see it at night," Peris said. "It's going to be up int he air on top of another container." 

Three Forks currently has a farm in the Lincroft section of Middletown, using three shipping containers, and supplies area restaurants, including B2 Bistro + Bar in Red Bank. It is also building a farm inside a 6,000 square foot warehouse on Main Street in Keansburg.

A presence at the Anderson Building along with Sickles "is great for us," Peris said. "The Anderson Building allows people to see us and see us in the area."

The building also brings attention to Red Bank's west side. It's bordered by Shrewsbury Avenue and Monmouth Street.

"I think that it is transformative," Red Bank Mayor Pasquale "Pat" Menna said.

"In a broader sense, it has finally brought the message across to many people that Red Bank is moving and transforming in a direction that includes revitalizing all of its neighborhoods."

James Scavone, executive director of Red Bank RiverCenter, the downtown business association, said it will revitalize the area.

"The west side has seen a lot of growth over the recent years, but I think the Anderson Building and Sickles in particular are going to really be the game changer," Scavone said. "I think we are going to see that area really explode after Sickles."

The New York Times took a road trip through northern Wisconsin and the story isn't half bad - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

The New York Times published a story on Aug. 18 (online Aug. 14) about a family's road trip through northern Wisconsin, and it's surprisingly not bad.  

National publications sometimes have a hard time capturing the flavor of a middle-of-the-country destination without small-town clichés or tired stereotypes (hi, Pitchfork profile of Bon Iver!). But this story avoids most of the pitfalls of parachute journalism by using a writer with deep ties to the state. 

Journalist Robert Simonson has written about cocktails and bars for The New York Times since 2000, but he grew up in Eagle. He writes that his father is from Sparta, and his sister lives in Fish Creek. He was in Wisconsin for a family reunion in Rice Lake, the impetus for his road trip and the story.  

The story checks off many must-do-when-in-Wisconsin boxes: stay at a lodge on a lake (Curriers Lakeview Lodge in Rice Lake); have dinner at a supper club, complete with "a brandy old-fashioned or three" (Lehman's in Rice Lake); visit a bar with taxidermy (Big Dick's Buckhorn Inn in Spooner); stop at a sausage shop (Louie's Finer Meats in Cumberland); and get fresh cheese curds (Renard's outside Sturgeon Bay). 

Twitter user MargeAnderson tweeted that "It's all true except the Barbie doll leg part." She was referring to the writer's girlfriend's offensive assertion that cheese curds tasted like a Barbie doll's leg. 

On Instagram, user Amy E. Reichert posted a photo of the print edition and wrote: "Loved this article in today's @nytimes by @robertosimonson. It fills my heart to see great coverage about Wisconsin's many traditions from supper clubs to fish boils to the titular Muffler Men."

Simonson does have an affinity for quirky roadside attractions, especially fiberglass ones, making stops to see a Muffler Man in Spooner, a walleye in Shell Lake, Larry the Logroller in Wabeno and Rhinelander's famous hodag. Sadly, there's no mention of Mercer's giant fiberglass loon. 

Other spots visited include Fred Smith's Wisconsin Concrete Park in Phillips and Manitowish Waters' Little Bohemia Lodge, the site of a shootout between the FBI and John Dillinger and his fellow gangsters, made famous in the 2009 film "Public Enemies." 

Minocqua is highlighted as "The Island City," and the Northwoods' lakes finally get more screen time, as Simonson writes of taking a boat on Kawaguesaga Lake to town since it was more direct than driving a car.  

Nature takes a backseat through most of the story, perhaps its biggest miss. The woods and lakes are what draw most visitors to northern Wisconsin, after all. Aside from a couple lake shout-outs and mention of the area's logging history, not much attention is paid to the Northwoods' natural gems, including the more than 1.5-million-acre Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. 

The story wraps up in Door County, with stops at Al Johnson's and a fish boil at Pelletier's. The point of the trip was to travel from the author's reunion in Rice Lake to his sister's house in Fish Creek, so it makes sense to include the peninsula in the context of the story, but not so much in the context of being part of northern Wisconsin. 

Geographically, sure, Door County is in the northern half of the state. But its culture and tourism vibe are much different than the Northwoods. It's more collared shirts and cocktails than camouflage and Coors Lights. Natural beauty is a big draw, but Lake Michigan is the king, not small pine-rimmed lakes.  

All told, it's a good travel story about a road trip through part of northern Wisconsin. And while the author's teenage son "remained skeptical" about the trip, he reflected:  

"Roof goats, Min-Aqua Bats, Hodags, supper clubs, island cities, concrete parks — all isolated glimpses of human endeavor surrounded by endless stoic nature. What did it all add up to? The charms of modest amusement; the quiet eccentricity of small-town life; local traditions, stubbornly hewed to; whispers of long-ago frontier hopes, never quite extinguished? 

"Perhaps it's something that resonates only as you get older. Or maybe it's just a matter of showing him the right Muffler Man."

Brooklyn Baklava Sets Up Shop in Boerum Hill - BKLYNER

Posted: 14 Aug 2019 01:53 PM PDT

BOERUM HILL – Brooklyn Baklava has set up a brick and mortar shop on 4th Avenue in Boerum Hill. The big "Coming Soon!" sign in the window is hard to miss, but don't let it fool you – you can snag the treats now, they just aren't having their full grand opening for another two weeks or so. 

The counters are full of delicious treats. Ellie Plass, Bklyner.

There isn't much room inside for the customer – a few chairs and space on a display table, so we recommend this for more of a takeout situation. The operation, on the other hand, sprawls back into the building, with big mixing bowls and baking tools on view.

There are two large counters in the store, mouth-wateringly full of honeyed baklava, nuts, and different cookies. Tables to the side of the store are full of the same, with dried fruits and berries as well. 

Bklyner reporting is supported by our subscribers and:

The shop is run by the Najjar family, who moved to New York from Tripoli in the 1900sThe New York Times wrote about them serving baklava treats from their wholesale bakery in Bay Ridge, at International Gourmet Delights on Bay Ridge Avenue back in 2000.

Tables to the side hold more packaged cookies, nuts, and dried fruits. Ellie Plass, Bklyner.

The employees are friendly and quick to offer free samples. There are many variations available, including vermicelli baklava and a half-moon version, if you come at the right time. One of the times we visited, they kindly gave us 10 pieces when we ordered 8, and only charged us for the latter. 

Up close and personal with the Baklava and ghraybeh. Ellie Plass, Bklyner.

We can wholeheartedly recommend the classic, vermicelli, and ghraybeh cookies. The baklava has that perfect crispy layer on the bottom, and the pastry crumbles beautifully when you eat it. Prepare to get it all over your counter and hands.  Two (or three, or four) pieces make for a perfect dessert or snack.

Brooklyn Baklava is located at 42 4th Avenue, between Pacific and Dean Streets. They are open daily from 9:00 am-7:00 pm.
