BRIEF BITES…

Red Hook: The grand opening of Mikey’s Chicken and Waffles was met with mixed reviews when crowds lined up around the block only to realize the menu’s only two items are not served together.

Upper East Side: Beverage director of the famed Periwinkle Bob, Laura Nabud is leaving for the greener pastures of San Francisco. Rumor has it, she’ll be concocting a dungeness crab cocktail for a yet unnamed chain restaurant in the Fisherman’s Wharf area.

Soho: File this under “Only In New York.” Kowloon Walled City’s Ian Miller, former Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, and Mercy Choir’s Paul Belbusti will be opening a vegan candy shop for adults called Them Crooked Dentures. According to Jones, the shop will feature, “Dairy free pudding pops, gluten free Three Musketeers, and tons of other delightful treats for adults who like sweets, but don’t like the cruelty often associated with the production of candy.”

Financial District: Dunkin Donuts on Wall Street is no longer charging sales tax.

Harlem: Uptown institution Theo’s will be closing to make way for the newest location of frozen yogurt chain Fruity Rudy’s. Theo’s owner Clair Hanks expressed her gratitude to long time customers by offering 2 for 1 Bacon Burger Dogs until the end of the month.
