Big Belly Belarus in Brighton Beach
Posted in B, Belarus on March 29th, 2009 by confinednomad – 3 Comments
One of our favorite places in the city is Brighton Beach. In the summertime, sitting at one of the cafes on the boardwalk, sipping on a liter of draft Baltika, watching a table of sharp-dressed Russian men drinking bucket loads of vodka, trying to decide if they are Russian mafia or not, is one of my favorite NYC pastimes. So I was quite excited to learn that we’d be traveling to the area to get food from Belarus.
Outside of Neptune Ave station, almost at the end of the F line, is a bright and colorful 24 hour deli called Belarus II (495-497 Neptune Avenue, Brooklyn). We had read about this place in the Hungry Cabbie‘s column in Gothamist, and all we knew was that they had pickled apples. Sounded good enough for a mid-winter trip to the beach.
