Party With The Pines this Saturday

Signs advertising a backyard party this Saturday, August 4th are hanging up in the windows at The Pines.  The restaurant's website confirms.  The Pines is the new project from the guys behind neighboring Gowanus storefront Littleneck.  RSVP through info@thepinesbrooklyn.com and get a sneak peek at chef Angelo Romano's cooking.  You can get another peek by dining at Littleneck on Wednesday nights when Angelo is in the kitchen making dishes he plans on serving at The Pines when it opens in September.

The menu for Saturday's party looks to the Caribbean for inspiration: pigeon peas & rice, jerk chicken, and curry goat are part of the $30 ticket price.

Littleneck Guys Adding The Pines to their Roster

Construction is well underway at 284 3rd Avenue in Gowanus.  The address is going to be home to The Pines, the new project from Aaron Lefkove and Andy Curtin of Littleneck, two doors down at 288 3rd Ave.  Their chef, Alan Harding, is working with them on The Pines menu but will ultimately stay in the kitchen at Littleneck.  Roberta's/Lupa/Masten Lake (RIP) alum Angelo Romano will be heading the stoves at The Pines when it opens sometime in July.

Apparently, you can only work with the Littleneck team if your name starts with the letter "A".  Maybe that's why Littleneck is so "Awesome".
