Brooklyn (Gowanus/Park Slope) = Hipster Heaven at the charming Bar Tano

Saturday night Frank and I fled NJ and drove up to Brooklyn to see comedian Greg Proops perform his live podcast–which will air beginning Monday 6/6/13 on the internets:  http://www.gregproops.com/blog/smartest-man-in-the-world-podcast/

Beforehand we took my Brooklynite friend's suggestion for an affordable and friendly Italian bistro–Bar Tano at 3rd Ave. & 9th St.:

Great service, nostalgia-inducing decor and decent prices too considering we were within the confines of the Big Apple.
