Buttermilk Channel 524 Court St. Brooklyn, NY (0ne block from Smith St.)
I’m going out on a limb by posting about things I haven’t tried first hand…but here it goes. I went out to a barbecue at a friends place in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn this past weekend. The subways wasn’t running correctly (surprise, surprise) so we got off a few stops early and walked Smith St. in it’s entirety. I was pleasantly surprised by the great shops and restaurants that we passed along the way (had trouble finding a liquor store though..that was an issue). As mentioned above, I haven’t been to most of these places, but you better believe I’ll be paying them a visit soon. (Buttermilk Channel for brunch and a stop by Smith & Butler this weekend most likely).

Adam Rapoport, EIC at Bon Appétit and former Style Editor at GQ, is one of the inspirations for this site…just a regular dude who knows a shit ton about style, food, design…
WWD posted a great story today about Rapoport and other young male editors, including Hugo Lindgren of the New York Times magazine, who are rising to the top of the magazine world and gaining a bit of rebel status along the way. These guys don’t fit your stereotypical Editor-In-Chief mold…they’re just dudes…very dapper dudes.
I’ve done a similar post in the past, but I felt compelled to re-post on the subject of beer glasses…not only because it’s good information, but I also liked the graphic.
As displayed above, there are generally six types of beer glasses one should know: The Shaker Pint, Tulip Pint, Nonic Pint, Snifter, Tulip and Goblet. Learn more about each glass and when to use them, here.
I’ve always been interested in brands…the origin, the idea, the name, and most importantly, the minds behind them. Brands are a very emotional thing for consumers, but they’re a way of life for those who create them.
Branders, a Zurich based agency, recently launched The Brander, a website dedicated to telling the story of those who have dedicated their lives to creating brands. Learn more about the passion behind the brands you love and discover those you never knew existed.

Esquire has always done a great job coming up with essential, and usually humorous, rules for men to live by. Of course, I publish my own rules, Dapper Decorum, but Esquire will always be king. Follow Esquire on Twitter or Facebook to get a daily dose.
I’m a year-round iced coffee drinker…it’s faster that way. Sure I get some strange looks when I’m walking around the city in sub-zero weather holding an iced coffee with a gloved hand, but I’ve seen much stranger things in these parts. Portland based, Stumptown, is now testing a cold bottled version of their brew, which will be a nice addition to the refrigerator since iced coffee is far too labor intensive to make on your own.
Thanksgiving is a man’s holiday. Food, football and more food. Better yet, you don’t have the burden of buying anyone gifts. Just show up…and eat.
However, if you’re playing host, it’s a slightly different story. Preparing a quality Thanksgiving feast is no easy task. Check out GQ’s guide to getting it right.
I came across this poster while searching for something completely unrelated, which is odd because 90% of what I search for online falls under the category of beer, liquor or food. To my surprise, this poster is available on art.com. A tasteful alternative to the Belushi poster, which needs to be retired upon college graduation.
