Neighborhood you live in: Park Slope

It’s Friday afternoon, how are you rolling into the weekend?
I just finished service at Hoseki, the six-seat omakase counter inside Saks Fifth Avenue, where I’m the chef. Once I’ve wrapped up the fish, tucked in the oysters, and thoroughly scrubbed the sushi bar, I’m going to go straight home to Park Slope.

Where are you dining this weekend? 
Tonight, I’ll have dinner at Stone Park Cafe in my neighborhood. It's a quaint spot with dark lighting, great steak and fries, and a small staff with the same few friendly faces. On Saturday, I’ll most likely be stopping at Bricolage, another Park Slope favorite, for a clarified milk punch cocktail made by Tyler Moschler. It’s a clear, very tasty drink with grated nutmeg on top. Also, it’s batched, so it’s in front of me in seconds — an important part of the equation.

How about a little leisure or culture?
I’ll most likely walk through Prospect Park. And depending on the time of year, I like stopping at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. I’ve also been taking dance lessons in my neighborhood at Salsa Salsa Dance Studio. It’s a really fun group. I love taking dance classes in New York, and salsa is a great way to interact with new people (without having to have too much conversation).

What was your last great vacation?
I have a small trip planned in Connecticut. It’s just going to be an Airbnb on a lake, a spot with very few people. And while I’m back home in Michigan, I’ll definitely be getting a tattoo from Trent at their studio in Kalamazoo, where I'm from. Trent is very talented and way cheaper than NYC. In Kalamazoo, I'll also be making a stop at Bell's Brewery (where it’s Oberon season).
