NYC: Applewood in Park Slope, Brooklyn

For our one year anniversary we went to a restaurant in Park Slope, Brooklyn known for using local and seasonal ingredients.  They are also listed on my previous post from the Slow Food.  Since we got married at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, we thought it only fitting to continue sustainable food restaurants.  Applewood is a restaurant that has been on my radar for some time now, and this was the perfect special occasion.





These don’t look so good but they tasted great.  The first one was black bean (left), butter (middle) and pate (right)




We started off with pork belly.  It had a lovely crispy skin and lots of flavor for the meat.  

I ordered the duck breast with a deconstructed panzanella, which was probably the best roasted duck breast I’ve ever eaten.  

Ethan ordered the pan roasted North Carolina wreckfish and pickled rhubarb salad

For dessert, we ordered the almond cake...delicious!  What a great way to end a fabulous meal.
