Woody Allen is a lot of things to a lot of people – actor, director, writer, comedian, creepy pervert. But he’s also a highly accomplished jazz musician as seen in
Marco Benevento has built a solid reputation as a world class piano player and an imaginatively creative and dexterous composer. His contribution as one half of the Benevento/Russo Duo has exposed him to many, many fans that found out about the band almost solely through word of mouth. Since releasing his 2008 solo album, Invisible Baby, Benevento has been out on the road with a prized collection of musicians focused primarily around the albums contributors; Tea Leaf Green’s Reed Mathis, Critters Buggin and Tori Amos drummer Matt Chamberlain, and Andrew Barr from The Slip.
Jack White’s newest offering stomped into NYC on a humid July night and crunched to a sold-out-fired-up house in Terminal 5. This time the “supergroup” comes equipped with Allison Mosshart from The Kills, Dean Fertita from Queens of the Stone Age and Jack Lawrence best known as playing bass in White’s other “supergroup” The Raconteurs. Before we get to them though, a word or twenty about the opener Screaming Females.
Last Sunday, I took the F train to Dumbo to check out Bridge Flea, the new flea market started by the same people behind Brooklyn Flea in Ft Greene. My visit was not bargain shopping orientated, it was food motivated. I went to try the lobster roll that the Red Hook Lobster Pound was selling.
The Red Hook Lobster Pound has only been open a short while but their lobster roll is as good as Brooklyn Fish Camp’s which usually is my one lobster roll per summer (at $26 can only afford one/summer). According to their website the lobster rolls are made from their homemade mayo, and JJ Nissen Top Split Rolls (the original lobster roll bread that they truck down from Maine). Even though the line was long (the lobster rolls were $13.00, half the price of what you would find anywhere else) it moved fast. It was great to see the rolls brushed with butter and placed on the flat top grill. The lobster salad was extremely fresh and each sandwich was made to order. This is one fine lobster roll.
I need to make it out to their store in Red Hook at some point.

Oh if you want another reason to go, the booth around the corner had made to order fish tacos as well. Take the trip to Brooklyn this Sunday, have some lobster and fish tacos. You’ll wonder why you haven’t done so already.
