“Where Brooklyn at?!”
We heard this, oh, 87 times at the Jay-Z concert…responding every time with a “Wooo!”, waving our hands in the air like we just don’t care. (Although we clearly SO did.)
Anyhow, YES, we were in Brooklyn so my 17 year old self could get her fill of Jay-to-the-Izzo. But perhaps more importantly, we ate. And oh, how we ate.
Convivium Osteria is a rustic little gem within walking distance of Barclays Center, so if you live in the area or are there to relive YOUR teenage fantasies via song, stop by for some old world cuisine that will transport you to the countryside of Italy before heading back to the streets of Brooklyn. And trust me, even if you got 99 problems going in there, by the time you leave, being hungry ain’t one.
Let the foodporn begin…
WHERE: Convivium Osteria 68 5th Avenue Brooklyn, New York 11217
