Brass Tacks

Let’s get down to brass tacks, and by brass tacks I mean the phenomenal booze selection and killer menu at this new eatery/drinkery from brothers Alex and Jonathan Parisi. If their names sound familiar it’s because they’re also the duo behind the neighboring cocktail/sandwich shop, Ground Control. If it doesn’t, it will soon, thanks to their selection of top-notch cocktails comprised of hand-infused spirits and their modern Italian menu. Top picks from the kitchen (helmed by Urban Enoteca’s Chris Opsata) include some of the best fries you’ll ever taste with a side of smoked ketchup), rapini adorned with a duck egg and porchetta you might trade a less-loved family member for. There’s also shuffleboard and a piano--so just go already.
