locals an affordable opportunity
to step outside their
neighborhood — and their
culinary comfort zone, according
to the beep.
“If you are used to Caribbean
meals, then go inside
an Italian restaurant, or an
Asian restaurant. That’s
what we’re really encouraging,”
Borough President Adams
said at a March 12 press
conference ahead of the
event. “It’s great for business,
and it’s great to learn
something new.”
Most of the roughly 200
participating restaurants
in Brooklyn, Queens, and
the Bronx will offer special
prix-fi xe menus priced at
$28 per person throughout
the event, which concludes
on March 29. All eateries’
prix-fi xe menus will include
three courses, with most allowing
patrons to choose an
appetizer, and entree, and a
dessert.
The number of participating
restaurants is a reminder
that some of the city’s
most mouth-watering food is
served outside the confi nes of
the distant isle of Manhattan,
where all but a few eateries
in the annual New York City
Restaurant Week are located,
according to Adams.
“Good food doesn’t stop
at the Manhattan Bridge.
There’s good food all around
New York City,” the beep
said.
One local restaurateur
whose Sheepshead Bay eatery
is among the Brooklyn spots
participating in Dine the Boroughs
praised the event as a
way to introduce his establishment
to new customers
from his neighborhood and
further afi eld.
“This is our fi rst time doing
an event like this. I think
it will defi nitely help get our
name out there, and get the
word out,” said John Chen,
whose Flaming Grill and
Modern Buffet at 3841 Nostrand
Ave. serves up sushi
and other cuisines. “It will
defi nitely help us serve the
community a little better.”
For a full list of participating
restaurants, see the special
Dine the Boroughs section
in this issue. Join the Dine the
Boroughs experience, presented
by the Whitmore Group
and co-sponsored by Schneps
Media, by following along

It’s a taste of Brooklyn —

People” comics workshop series
at the Brooklyn Public
Library’s Central branch,
which will continue through
June. Each class is taught by
a different artist, who can
provide a distinct perspective
on the comic industry, said
Hurwitz.
A professional illustrator,
who has contributed to the
New York Times and Entertainment
Weekly, will lead
the upcoming workshop. She
hopes to teach cartoonists of
all stripes to experiment with
new techniques.
“It would be fun to try out
different things with people
who are already cartoonists,
but if there are any fi rsttimers,
I would love to reach
them before they are taught
the usual comics ‘dos and
don’ts,’ ” said Laura Lannes.
Illustrators are too often
expected to follow arbitrary
rules passed down in comics
classes and how-to books,
which can restrict their creativity,
she said.
“I think comics can be
anything the artist wants.”
said Lannes.
Previous classes have
drawn a diverse crowd of approximately
40, according to
Hurwitz.
“We had a wide range of
people. We’ve had seasoned
comic artists, and we had
a parent with their 12-yearold,”
she said.
