The cidery was transformed into a mini Bushwick, with vendors from the neighborhood\u2019s local restaurants and businesses representing their fare. At one point, I was juggling a few food trays and had to pull over into a nook to both keep said trays upright and to savor every flavor. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Coupled with a live band and cozy lighting, the atmosphere was vibrant and paired nicely with a glass of bubbly Kinda Dry cider or BKE Kombucha. With everything from curry noodles to specialty chowder to apple cider donuts, the evening fully celebrated Bushwick\u2019s diverse culinary scene. A sample of everything brought its uniqueness home; and though I left physically full, I remained hungry for more trips to the neighborhood.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1.

Enter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seawolfbk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sea Wolf<\/a> with their chilled corn soup with lobster, a light and luscious salute to the carefree summer days ahead. I\u2019ve never had the pleasure of eating purposely cold soup before, and was deliciously transported to the beach without leaving the table. The restaurateurs focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients, and rotate their menu seasonally. You can try anything from classic fish and chips and prawns to lobster tacos and lobster corn dogs.

Their treats are plant-based and sweetened with coconut sugar for a wholesome treat. Take a pretzel to the smooth, rich river of spread and add this to your repertoire of the beloved chocolate hazelnut combo. They also sell massive bars, truffle collections, and bites, all that reinvent the taste of chocolate and the notion that it can\u2019t be decent for you. My happiness levels spiked on impact, and isn\u2019t that what makes all the difference?

Syndicated<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Among the tea lights and quiet oasis in one of the brewery\u2019s back rooms, I passed a table of pulled pork sliders. I was instantly transported back to a trip to Memphis, remembering sweet and tender bites from one of its birthplaces. Yet here at <a href=\"https:\/\/syndicatedbk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Syndicated<\/a> in Brooklyn, every bite came with a crunch of cucumber, the brightness of arugula, and it was sandwiched into a Hawaiian roll. I was ready to kiss my fingers and shout, \u201cBeautiful!\u201d Food on its own is an experience; and food when paired with another experience ups the ante. The restaurant, serving American fare, triples as a movie theater and bar, an ideal place to escape the heat with a fros\u00e9 and bar bites.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>Photos by&nbsp;Francisco Bravo<\/em><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This month, the sixth annual Taste of Bushwick was held at the Brooklyn Cider House on Flushing Avenue to highlight the best restaurants in Bushwick.
