You would think this simple dish would be easier to find in New York but I had to search a bit to find a place that advertised serving them, so to Little Pig we went for these crunchy, cheesey bites. Their backyard is larger than the inside of the restaurant, and we got to sit there on a gorgeous day to take in some sun and enjoy our food. I got a glass of lambrusco, which paired nicely with the arancini, flatbread, cheese board, caesar salad, and fried ravioli we got for the table. They aren't purporting to do anything creative here but this standard Italian-American fare is made well. This menu would be particularly well suited for families with kids, because what's not to like about breaded and fried cheese, meat, sauce and bread? Our server was very helpful in guiding us on how much to order as well. On a beautiful day, whiling away some hours in their backyard is not a bad way to spend some time.

It's clear this place takes inspiration from Japanese vinyl listening bars, from their menu of…read morehighballs to their vinyl collection and attention to the audio experience. I've made it a point to visit every vinyl listening bar that I learn of in town, after enjoying the shared experience of someone curating a select vinyl list in intimate spaces in Tokyo. Few have been able to replicate the experience, but Honeycomb Hi Fi Lounge comes close. That the space is narrow with just a few seats along the bar and a few tables mimics the Japanese experience best, where you can almost have it so the whole room is having one conversation together. The music is the focus. The cocktail menu is rather simple, and my Stormbringer drink, with dark rum and ginger beer was not anything to write home about, but $15 is pretty low for cocktails these days so I'll take it. If they introduced new cocktails to the menu with more interesting ingredients I'd be more inclined to return, but the vibes overall are pretty good and the staff really nice.

Incredibly pedantic and rude owner - he made the experience feel off-putting and gatekeepy from the…read morestart, from him scolding my group for entering the bar (apparently we should have stood on the sidewalk behind the closed opaque door waiting for him to come out and check if people are waiting? When the bar had multiple empty tables?) to asking us multiple times how many drinks we planned to order, then getting clearly frustrated when we sipped on our $25 cocktails slower than he would prefer. To top it all off, he spotted a deck of cards in my open purse and came over to tell us that "this isn't a board game cafe, you need to leave if you want to do that" Very strange attitude for the location and vibes of the neighborhood, save your money and go down 5th a bit further to find cocktail bars that actually want patrons!

The staff were honestly shockingly nice and great to talk to from the bartenders to the rest of the staff, it was all pleasant and they actually seemed not to be pissed off a customers! The drinks were well done and priced reasonably the snacks were delish. I got the shishito peppers and an old fashioned. My next move was a wine since I just wanted to stay longer and chat with the bar crew. It really got popping after 10 and there are a few great places to head to afterwards. It's a pretty big spot with places to lounge and places to eat. Very instagramable spot so it'd be a great date night or a night out with the girls.

We went on a Friday night with a party of 3 and did a walk in. That was a risky move and to our luck, the hostess was so sweet and squeezed us in as the last party of the night! This is a must visit when in downtown Brooklyn. We couldn't try the food since the kitchen closed and we were the last to enter but we were able to try 3 drinks and I recommend them all! 1. Donkey Conga ($22) Bourbon and aged cachaça centrifuged with Banana. Followed by Cynar & sweet vermouth. 2. Manta Ray ($22) Coconut cocktail of apricot, ginger, and mint. London dry gin & Haitian Rhum. 3. Star cycle ($18) Shakened milk washed gin, Jasmine, and grapefruit

It's this almost speak easy vibe behind big dark doors, you enter into a quaint space with small cocktail tables for seating and bar room. The cocktails were simply outrageous. Crafted to perfection with potion bottles used as finishers (yes potion bottles for their perfect witch craft making bartenders!) I think I enjoyed the bartenders work ethics as a concept the most. Sure the place was hitting the nail on the head for any speak easy, specialty cocktail seeking person's dream. But the fact that the bartenders were straight ripping through putting out eclectic drinks, with a smile on their face that was genuine was most impressive. I want to go back not just because I'm in the area. I'll go out of my way for this one. Nice job Sweet Polly!
