Luke's Lobster Named One of the Top Food Trucks

The recently released 101 Best Food Trucks in America 2016 by TheDailymeal.com features a lot of amazing meals that are worth chasing after by foot, bike or car. Number 6 on the list is Luke's Lobster, praised for their mouth watering lobster and shrimp rolls on the go!

But you don't have to chase after your meal to experience Luke's Lobster! They have a brick and mortar shop, right here at 237 5th Avenue! The only chasing you'll have to do is when you are playing Pokemon Go (see photo above). Check it out!

Twelfth Night - The Old Stone House and Washington Park

If you missed their wonderful performance at South Slope Summer Strolls this past weekend, South Brooklyn Shakespeare will be performing Twelfth Night again. In fact, there are still 3 more performances to come on #theother5th!

Thursday, August 4th 8pm behind The Old Stone House
Friday August 5th 8pm behind The Old Stone House
Saturday August 6th 8pm behind The Old Stone House

Restaurant Week!

It's NYC Restaurant Week (more like month, July 25-August 19). There are hundreds of restaurants throughout the five boroughs offering a $29 Lunch or $42 Dinner but only Benchmark is participating from Park Slope, this time around.

So, take some time to try some restaurants outside of Park Slope (we don't recommend that) or drop by Benchmark for a truly special meal (we do recommend that).

For more information on Restaurant Week, click here.

Oh, and stay tuned, Dine in Brooklyn is coming up in just a couple of weeks!
