      Subject: Trendy Pizza Bar in Crown Heights

      Totally excited! I passed by there this morning and spoke to one of the owners. The place is called Basil. They are due to open in about 2 weeks and the menu is FANTASTIC. They had a couple of promo menus available and he handed me one. This place is going to be different and edgy. I can't wait!!!!!! There is a website on the menu http://www.basilny.com

      pro tip: when shilling your/your friend's website, wait until it has more than a splash page.

      I walked by today, the place looks really nice. If the food is good it will be a great addition to the neighborhood.

      went there yesterday

      the good

      -gorgeous decor

      -blocks from my house

      -delicious coffee

      -reasonably priced menu

      the shady

      -the service is pretty suspect...the exec chef at one point had to come out and yell at a waiter to bring a party of seven a bottle of wine (they'd been waiting for over 10 minutes)

      -i asked for a spoon for my coffee and never got it (i'm not jewish)

      -they didn't pepper shakers/grinders..they brought my friend some pepper in a bowl

      -they were out of sugar (for coffee)

      - the hostess only talked to the Hasidic guests..but that could be b/c she knows them personally

      i really enjoyed the cup of coffee at the place..i might wait until they hire more waitstaff and stock up on the basics b4 returning for an actual meal

      agreed w/Clayfilms.

      i'm willing to go back and give them another try. hopefully time will iron out the wrinkles in service and hospitality.
