A few months ago, we alerted you that the “gastropub” phenomenon,
deftly explored by Rob and Robin, was
infiltrating Park Slope. Well, on February 21 the eagle lands in the form of
Alchemy, the love child of former
Lucky Strike barkeep Kevin Read and Jared King, previously a chef at
Peacock Alley, Windows on the World, and
Oceana. Their collection of antique jars isn’t the most impressive in town (guys, how could you let
Simon Hammerstein beat you? Those things come so cheap at the Seventh Avenue flea market), but
the menu, available for you here exclusively, is nothing to scoff at. Hanger steak served with bone marrow? Scallops with acorn-squash purée and Guinness froth? Cuttlefish with chorizo-oil mayonnaise?
O’Connor’s across the street better step up its game bar nuts ain’t going to cut it anymore.
