Brooklyn has a lot of great barbecue options, and sadly, Lookout Hill Smokehouse is not one of them. Lookout Hill opened about two weeks ago, in a location that's been bad luck for a string of restaurants including another barbecue spot, previous tenant Biscuit BBQ.
Lookout Hill seemingly got off to a great start, with an ambitious all-wood design and a new smoker brought in from Tennessee. But we can't see how they expect to succeed where Biscuit failed: The food simply isn't up to snuff.]]>
D.B.A Brooklyn is a boutique specializing in the holy trinity of casual fashion essentials: t-shirts, jeans and sneakers. Opened a little over two weeks ago by a trio of New York natives, it's a small space that's packed with wares and boasts a bold, eye-catching design.
The walls are lined with an impressive stock of exclusive designer kicks ranging from neon New Balances and Nikes to dressy Spring Courts to all-leather Converse. Further inside, there are t-shirts, art books and vinyl figurines.
On weekends, D.B.A plays host to hip hop DJs, and people hang out on the stoop outside. The atmosphere is laid back and the wares are treated like works of art. D.B.A has Lucite cases holding ultra-rare Nikes while vinyl figurines from the owners' private collection and sneakers with high-three-figure price tags line the upper shelves.]]>
