10/30/2005 Archived Entry: "I review restaurants in Brooklyn"

My editor at BKLYN magazine is getting all riled up. Whenever my credits are given – for instance, at the end of a story I wrote for the New York Sun a couple of weeks ago, or in the piece you can still read (on line) about me and my kitchens in the New York Times – they never mention our wonderful, fabulous magazine available with a few quick clicks on your computer for a mere $12 a year. That’s four issues. BKLYN is a quarterly, and it is filled with great writing (not to mention my own) and photography, and the great art design you need to put the two together. And did I mention great editing. The best editing. And this from an old editor who thinks he was a pretty good editor, too.

Naturally, I write the restaurant column. I review three Brooklyn restaurants in each issue, which means you get 12 restaurant reviews a year. Think of it as a review of the month club – for only $12 a year, one buck a month. My editor, whose name is Joseph Steuer, says I should also tell you all that BKLYN is the only regular way to read me. But of course you read the Maven’s Diary, so that’s not true. It is, however, the only place you can regularly read my restaurant writing.

Don’t get me wrong. I am very fond of Joseph, who likes to be called Joseph, not Joe. In fact, I am probably too fond of him, and he of me, because if we allowed ourselves we would be on the phone for hours and never get any work done. And then he would not be the great editor in chief of BKLYN magazine, and I would … well, you get the picture.

So subscribe to BKLYN. Just click on BKLYN. You, too, can know all about the cool, hip, cultured and delicious things we do here in Brooklyn.
