Best Bars of Prospect Heights

Prospect Heights may not have tons of strollers yet, but like Park Slope, it attracts a youngish crowd of hipersterish imbibers looking to party--on the cheap.

Seafood Showdown: Coney Island

We heart food competitions.

So what could be better than eating seafood on Coney Island's "Beer Island" (with beer specials, 'natch), especially when the proceeds go to charity?

Here are the details:

8/15/09: You show up to Beer Island between noon and 4pm with $24 in hand (unless you book online, which will save you $4), taste some delicious seafood, and suck down some suds in the sun. Watch as one lucky contestant wins $400 prize for a "people's choice" award (and hopefully donates it to their charity of choice).

In the event of rain, you'll show up on 8/16/09 instead, same time, same place.

Try This Jerk

If you find yourself near Prospect Park one of these sunny days, you owe it to your tastebuds to check out the jerk chicken wings ($7.50) at Cheryl's Global Soul.

These grilled chicken wings are juicy and spicy and very well seasoned. Plus, they pair awfully well with a sorrell-based drink. It's like going to the islands...only cheaper.

And Another One Bites the Dust: Black Betty to Close

Photo from Brooklyn Vegan

Tenant - landlord disputes are such a drag. Especially when they involve super-chill party spots, like our favorite Williamsburg boite, Black Betty.

We're sad to report that June 15th will be the last opportunity you'll have to dance the night away at this lovely little bar.

Oh, Black Betty! You will be sorely missed. Especially the nights when you featured early 90s music. SIGH.

This bar--famous for its bumping dance parties--may be a sinking ship, but it plans to go down in style!

The owners are plotting a blow-out party on June 15th that will feature Rev. Vince Anderson and His Love Choir scheduled to perform a rockin' set that evening.

According to Brooklyn Vegan, "the kitchen and bar, offering North African and Mediterranean dishes and extended happy hours, will be in full swing until close". Hallelujah!
