Fluffy Frittatas and Fabulous Fish Fries!

The Park Slope section of Brooklyn is able to boast an endless reign of eating establishments, and one cozy place that has especially caught my eye is Rose Water. Located on Union Street, the owners of Rose Water offer a menu of very healthy and delicious garden fresh meals.

What positively delightful edible have I discovered at this spot? Well, that would be one of my favorite things to eat, frittata. For anyone who is not familiar with a frittata, it is akin to an omelette, although much more substantive and in most cases a lot tastier. The fritatta I enjoyed at Rose Water was prepared with carmelized onions, mushrooms and goat cheese, and it was served with an herb salad. Quite delicious. Try it, you will so like it!

Next stop is my own backyard, Bay Ridge. This neighborhood of mine gives us countless and well-known corner restaurants, ones that we can always rely on for our favorite dinner after a way too long day. For me, Circles is one of those restaurants. A dining experience of comfort, Circles sits on the corner of Bay Ridge Ave and 3rd Ave. After decades of service to the community it still draws crowds.

Circles refers to an array of round pita bread sandwiches and fun and tasty fillings, such as Turkey and Thanksgiving Day Stuffing. For years, Bay Ridge residents have enjoyed pita circles as well as a full menu of salads, pastas and entrees. However, there is one item I have discovered on the appetizer section of the Circles menu that is an absolute must if you visit soon. Drum roll please ... sword fish fries! This is a terrific grazer and a great taste to enjoy. Finger- sized slices of fresh sword fish are battered and fried to a fluffy crunch. A zesty home-made jalapeno tartar sauce is added for dipping. Biting into the fry reveals the moist fish enclosed within. This item has actually been on the menu for some time but does not receive the attention it deserves. I want to hear Bay Ridge folks say "let's go over to Circles for some sword fish fries!" What a best-kept eat this one is, folks. I highly recommend it!
