  • Olive Vine on 7th and 15th

    Scalino on 7th and 10th used to, but I think they got their license and don't do BYOB now (worth a call to ask, though)

    I don't understand. You can't do BYOB unless you have less than 20 seats or have a license. If you 20 seats or more you need a license to allow drinking whether you sell it or allow it to be brought in.
  • didn't we already have this thread

    Second Olive Vine
  • This thread is worth repeating. Restaurants come and go all the time.
  • Is Watana byob?

    Not anymore. Used to be. Sad.
  • Olive Vine comes to my mind too, but the "great bottle of wine" does not really fit with them. Their food is really good, but is it worthy of a great bottle of wine? Depends on what you mean I guess, but IMHO, falafel and lentil soup go better with a house (cheap) red ;-)

    or specifically a "cheap and tasty" bottle from across the street! :)
  • Or a cheap and tasty bottle from right upstairs, since that's where I live! Sooo, ummm, watch out for the raccoon!

    I will ring your bell next time to pick up a bottle. Or, rather, use my dog to continue eating at your window until I can break in. Whichever is easier.
  • there's a raccoon?

    Yes, but I should be clear it is NOT at olive vine, just in the vacinity of that restaurant (aka my apartment). I would not want it to affect anyone's desire to eat at Olive Vine, it's a lovely place. :)
  • yes, i read your other post. yikes.
    (and i'm glad it's not at OV because i LOVE it there. and ali always tells me i'm beautiful, then giggles. who can argue with that?)
  • Ok so it's not in the Slope but very close in Carroll Gardens at Smith & Sackett: ZAYTOONS. It is so so so good. They have the best hummus I've had in Brooklyn. Also their Zaatar bread with feta rocks my world.
  • Never eaten there, but Athena on 6th Ave near 15th St had a sign that they are BYOB with "no corking fee".
  • Get Fresh's new cafe is BYOB too. I haven't eaten there -- just got coffee, which was delicious, by the way -- so I can't comment on that, but the menu does look good.
  • I know 2 great places but I ain't sayin where because I don't want any of you people to know. Don't want to ruin a good thing...

    Ummmm, ok. Thanks for letting us all know???

    way to make friends!

    Like doh... If you had no intention of sharing you should have not posted at all.
  • Oh man, they're not Middle Eastern or Asian joints either. Cozy comfort food in romantic settings with table service. You offer one of the servers a taste of your wine and they wave the corkage. Sometimes they will give you free stuff. Special, special places.
  • So babel... you ready to reveal where these places are?... or we will torture you~ I admit I have been watching 24 and think I am Jack Bauer.

    Only kidding.

    I don't understand.

    I could be drinking a bottle of Louis Roederer Cristal Brut 2002...put a bag of Doritos in front of me...you think I'm not going to eat the Doritos?
