Late-Night Cookies and Cocktails Hit Williamsburg; Frank Bruni Finds Something to Like at Bar Milano

East Village: The Chocolate Bar has moved across town to 127 East 7th Street, near First Avenue. [Strong Buzz]
Murray Hill: Bar Milano might not be getting raves yet for its food, but Frank Bruni considers a specialty cocktail of "rosemary-infused Hendrick’s gin, freshly squeezed lemon juice, a touch of reduced Balsamic vinegar, fresh basil and strawberries...a lively dance of flavors, and it’s not excessively sweet." It also didn't taste excessively alcoholic when we tried it. [Diner's Journal/NYT]
Park Slope: Applewood's annex, Applewares, now sells house-made sweets, and will soon carry savory items from the restaurant team. [NYS]
Soho: Former Top Cheftestant Nikki Cascone's first food job was slicing meat at a pork store in Staten Island. [Restaurant Girl]
Upper East Side: Serendipity's latest cookbook focuses on party planning. [NYDN]
Upper West Side: A former Frederick’s chef has opened his own Mediterranean restaurant called Vai, at 225 West 77th Street. [NYT]
Williamsburg: A new spot called Bedford and Berry serves house-made cookies and milky cocktails, like the "Sixto" (French press coffee, Baileys, Kahlua and Drambuie) until 4 a.m. [Bottomless Dish/Citysearch]
Metropolitan Bar has been closed by the Department of Health. [Eater]

Ms. Gobbler's Turn: Her Favorite Restaurants

In pale imitation of great gastronome scribblers like Calvin Trillin and the late Johnny Apple, the Gobbler has written, perhaps too often, about his wife's taste in food and restaurants (just read his last review). Possibly also like them (the Gobbler doesn't know Mr. Trillin, but he met Apple during his gruff, un-cuddly, pre-foodie days), the Gobbler is often accused by his wife of egregiously distorting her views (you bet he does). Ms. Gobbler would like the world to know that her most-used word is not "yummy," that if given the choice, she'd prefer to eat at home, and that her favorite drink really is champagne. "Also, you always make me sound elfin," she told the Gobbler just a moment ago, "and I am not elfin." In a hasty (and desperate) attempt to clarify the record, I've asked Ms Gobbler to list her current favorite restaurants in town. It goes without saying that Mr. Gobbler approves of these fine establishments, too.
