Booker & Dax

In case you missed this story in The New York Post, we got to check out Day/Night 2 of Dave Arnold's new project.

They have great chemistry! New downtown bar on Momofuku row mixes cocktails with science — and the result is pure genius

Friday at 6 p.m., brand-new East Village cocktail bar Booker & Dax opened its doors on 13th Street to a packed house of industry insiders, science geeks and downtown scenesters thirsty for a taste of high-tech drinks made with gadgetry more common in a chemistry lab than a bar.

The branding of Brooklyn: Looking to sell authenticity and coolness? Give your product a Kings County trademark

The 718 area code, created in 1984, services residents of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, The Bronx and even certain cellphones in Manhattan.

But despite its near ubiquity — and the fact that it isn’t the city’s far tonier 212 — 718 has become something of a hot commodity, expecting to run out of numbers any day now.

Blame the snob appeal of an established area code: 646 suggests you arrived after 1999; 347, even later.

Or, blame the borough of the moment: Brooklyn.

Whoopie! The all-American sweet is this season's must-have treat

Best greasy spoons of NYC

Who needs designer burgers? According to a recent survey of restaurant spending prepared for The Post by finance-data site Bundle.com, when it comes to New Yorkers’ favorite dining destinations, the local greasy spoon frequently cracks the neighborhood Top 10. And that’s only counting the ones that take credit cards. Imagine how diners would rank if all the cash-only venues were considered, too. Just thinking about it makes us hungry for a $5 grilled cheese with bacon right around the corner from the apartment. Cheap, satisfying and local. So to commemorate the rise of the greasy spoon from dish pit to front-page news, we crisscrossed the city in search of the best casual, community-supported places to eat. Here are some of our favorites — and they might be yours, too!

Out of the Hot Tub and Into the Vineyard

CHANCES are, when you think Marin County, you think crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods, whale watching, oysters, and cheese. (If you're a little older and of a certain leaning, perhaps you think of people sitting in hot tubs eating California Cheeseburgers.)

Or, maybe you are wondering, where the heck is Marin? (Answer: It's that county between San Francisco and Napa/Sonoma.) No matter where you fall on the Marin question, you're probably not thinking wine. But, get this: There were grapes in Marin before Napa. Until there weren't.

Supermarket Secrets! What's behind the swinging doors?

ATTENTION shoppers! Don't pretend you haven't tried to peek through the back doors of your favorite grocery store. It all seems very mysterious. Who's making the macaroni salad? Are there whole cows behind the butcher? Here's your behind-the-shelves tour of some of the city's supermarkets.

Super Pigskin Pig Out - Super Bowl Party Menu Playbook is Easy Study

FOR those of you who think Super Bowl sans classics (wings, Colts) is like Thanksgiving without turkey, our "Traditional" Super Bowl menu is for you. Speaking of which, according to author Frederick Kaufman, the Super Bowl has surpassed Thanksgiving as the premiere national food holiday. Kaufman also says, "The real American stomach is revealed on Super Bowl Sunday, when we are unencumbered by tradition and choose our favorite foods to celebrate."

This is exactly how we think you should plan your party: Choose your favorite foods and celebrate with the Giants. The best party is the one that's easy and fun for the host (guests will notice if you're not with them in front of the TV).

Food Network's Guy Fieri agrees. "Many Super Bowl foods can be made the day before," he says, "so you don't have to be yelling 'What's the score' from the other room during the game." Fieri, a Raiders fan married to - brace yourself - a Pats fan, also suggests letting guests put their own food together, when possible. Cook the wings, he says, then have bowls of different sauces on the table.
