A review of Black Forest Brooklyn in Fort Greene

Located at 733 Fulton Street in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, Black Forest Brooklyn is a German beer bar and restaurant.  Black Forest Brooklyn offers 14 taps of German imported beer (mainly the usual suspects, Hofbrau, Kostritzer, etc) and classic German-American fare.  Fairly spacious, Black Forest Brooklyn offers six picnic tables, ten tables for two and a spacious bar area.  We look forward to a return visit on our next pub crawl through the area.

On the excitement of Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day weekend just may be our favorite weekend of the year here at Pub Crawl NYC.  Sometimes it’s appropriate for a quick trip out of town, other times, it’s good to stick around town and go on a NYC bar crawl or three.  As the weekend marks the unofficial beginning of summer, the weather almost always delivers.  It was on a Memorial Day weekend long ago that we participated in our very first pub crawl.  So, whether you’re staying in town or traveling for the long weekend, have a great time, stay safe and happy pub crawling!

A review of Carroll Place in Manhattan's Greenwich Village

Change has come to Bleecker Street!  Located at 157 Greenwich Street (in the old Kenny’s Castaways location), Carroll Place is a gastropub/wine bar/beer bar.  Next door, at 155 Greenwich Street, the Back Fence has closed for business as well.  We wonder what type of spot will open there.  We digress.  With numerous wines available by the glass/bottle, Carroll Place is a solid spot for the Greenwich Village NYC wine bar crawl.  The fare leans toward Italian and Carroll Place has an open kitchen with a pizza oven.  Along with a friendly staff and a decent tap beer selection, we look forward to returning to Carroll Place on a future NYC pub crawl.
