Leo and Oliver Kremer, the burrito-loving brothers behind the horns, are excited to extend the brand into new territory. The menu is simple and straightforward—flavor is the driving force and all dishes are under $9. Guests have the option of choosing a Burrito, Taco, Quesadilla or Plato (burrito without a tortilla on a bed of lettuce). Fillings include Carnitas (braised pork), Pollo Asado (grilled chicken), Carne Asada (grilled steak) or Basic (rice & beans). You can also enjoy a selection of Mexican beers such as Tecate, Corona, Pacifico and Negra Modelo, in addition to a rotating monthly special.

Designed by Hecho Inc., the restaurant boasts a minimal yet durable aesthetic. The vibrant red steel wall has become a signature design feature throughout each location. Custom-designed stools made from beautiful Alaskan Yellow Cedar and Redwood are reclaimed from the former Coney Island water towers. The reclaimed wood wainscot panels and unique lighting fixtures hold true to the taquerias Leo and Oliver frequented back home, while the restaurant’s exposed brick walls are a nod to Dos Toros’ home in New York.

Open 11:30am-10:30pm on Monday, 11:30am-11pm, Tuesday through Friday, 12pm-11pm on Saturday, and 12pm-10:30pm on Sunday. Late night hours, delivery and catering to come. For more information, please call 718.384.8833, or visit www.dostoros.com. Twitter: @DosToros.

The international beer scene has been forever changed following the recent opening of Tørst, a new beer bar in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint neighborhood. Danish for “thirst,” Tørst is positioned to be a destination for beer geeks from around the globe and will offer an elite selection of tap and bottled beers, including rare imports that this side of the Atlantic has never seen.

The first project from acclaimed chef Daniel Burns, features a beer list curated by world-renowned gypsy brewer, and personal friend of Burns, Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø of Denmark’s Evil Twin Brewing. Jarnit-Bjergsø’s list features beers made exclusively for Tørst by the royalty of the beer world, as well as a variety of Evil Twin beers, which are some of the most sought-after brews in the world. Evil Twin Brewing was recently honored by Rate Beer in their prestigious, annual awards honoring the very best in beer around the world. Evil Twin was recognized as Best Brewer in Denmark, 10^th Best Brewer in the World and Best Brewer in Europe. Jarnit-Bjergso’s popular Imperial Biscotti Break was also ranked 7^th Best New Release in 2012.

Tørst is also taking the current trend of “secret bars” and turning it around by encompassing a “secret restaurant” in its space. Luksus, “luxury” in Danish, will be a 26-seat restaurant hidden behind the bar helmed by Chef Daniel Burns, formerly of Noma, The Fat Duck and Momofuku. Luksus will open in early summer and have a tasting-menu format featuring food that combines seasonal North American ingredients with the flavors and techniques of Scandinavia. In the meantime, Daniel is serving a menu of bar snacks and charcuterie.

Tørst is located at 615 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. It is open Sunday thru Wednesday 12:00 PM – 12:00 AM, and Thursday thru Saturday, 12:00 PM – 2:00 AM. For more information visit www.torstnyc.com or call (718) 389-6034.

Let’s help them collect 10,000 signatures for the Save Our Seaport petition!

New Amsterdam Market, along with the advocacy group Save Our Seaport Coalition, has launched a petition that aims to preserve the old Fulton Fish Market in Lower Manhattan as a world-class public market promoting responsible agriculture, regional sourcing, and fair trade. Currently, the Fulton Fish Market’s historic waterfront sheds – the Tin Building and the New Market Building — sit vacant and are being considered as a future real estate development site by the Howard Hughes Corporation. If not protected, these iconic, city-owned structures will likely be demolished or moved – and a piece of NYC’s history will be lost.

Since 2005, New Amsterdam Market has been advocating for the adaptive reuse of the Fulton Fish Market space so it can become home to a year-round destination for artisan foods and products, much like San Francisco’s Ferry Building Marketplace and London’s Borough Market. For the last five years, the organization has promoted this vision through Sunday markets and events in the parking lot adjacent to the Fulton Fish Market space. They have even aided in the successful launch of many artisan food businesses, including Brooklyn Cured, Pie Corps, Runner & stone, and Lonestar Taco.

Robert LaValva, President of New Amsterdam Market, has said that the Market hopes to use this space to feature an expanded variety of wholesale retailers and specialty vendors that will sell specially curated ingredients rarely found at other markets around the city—including unique fruits, ethically raised meats, sustainably harvested local fish, and imported fair-trade ingredients such as citrus, coffee, and olives.

A group of top chefs, restaurateurs, and culinary personalities —  April Bloomfield, Daniel Boulud, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Bill Telepan, Floyd Cardoz, Michael Anthony, Elizabeth Falkner, Luke Holden, Carmen Quagliata, and Michael Chernow — have shown support for the petition in a video created by Bullfrog & Baum asking viewers to add their signatures.

Today, you can help too – sign the petition at SaveOurSeaport.org and join in on the cause!
