Starting Tomorrow, You Can Lounge Hillside in Brooklyn
Monday, June 4, 2012 at 2:21PM 
The owners of Vinegar Hill House are opening Hillside tomorrow on 70 Hudson Ave, right nextdoor to VHH in Brooklyn's quaint Vinegar Hill neighborhood. The 30-seat venue will act as a cafe/wine bar/breakfast/lunch/dinner space and provide diners a place to lounge while they wait for a table at Vinegar Hill House, Hudson Avenue's perennially packed food haven.
Grubstreet tells us Hillside will have a rotating wine list that features 20 to 30 wines by the glass. The list focuses on "Island Wines" that come from Ischia, Corsica, and the Canaries. There is also a section dedicated to Beaujolais Crus. These wines come from north of the Rhone Valley in eastern France and are comprised of the thin skinned Gamay grape. Their subtle tannic structure and bright acidity make them exceptional summer reds.
Pastries and sandwiches will be available for breakfast and lunch. The dinner menu will offer cheese, cured meats, and small plates, including oysters and bone marrow.
