*Everyday Chatter

Absinthe is set to open in the former B&M meat market space on 1st Ave between 6th and 7th. It's got beer taps, a bar, and a backyard dining area. CB3 approved their license with several anti-noise stipulations, including: "it will close the backyard at 9:00 P.M. all nights and cease operation of the backyard if there are any noise complaints from residents."

    Hanco's is actually a really good vietnamese sandwich shop. I went to the one on Bergen this weekend and had an amazing spicy tofu sandwich, which I'm still thinking about 2 days later. This is a good replacement in my opinion and not the type of place the stroller brigade will be inclined to infect with their presence.
