BF&D’s menu is equal parts compilation & creation: featuring an evolving selection of New York’s finest artisanal products sourced from the five boroughs as well as fresh meats & produce from greater New York State. Classic New York ingredients & recipes have been re-imagined by one of New York’s most innovative culinary talents, concept co-creator & contributing chef, Zak Pelaccio. Designer, Mark Zeff of Zeff Design, incorporates reclaimed woods & materials salvaged from underwater piers, mushroom-growing barns, old factories & storefronts. Adding to the experience, Zeff uses vintage industrial furniture, lighting & accessories to create a convivial & unpretentious environment where locals, friends & neighbors can gather to share a meal, shoot some pool, throw some darts or take advantage of the complimentary Wi-fi service.

REVIEW
One of the sheer delights of NYC living is discovering delectable specialty foodstuffs from a myriad of friendly neighborhood purveyors. Too bad you'll never do that. So, try Borough Food & Drink, opening Thursday.

A collaboration between Fatty Crab's Zak Pelaccio and China Grill's Jeffrey Chodorow, Borough's a rustic'd up restaurant with found wood pulled from piers, factories, and China Grill's Jeffrey Chodorow. The idea's to round up ingredients from the boroughs' best mom & pops, then create dishes so tasty, they'll reaffirm your pledge to turn your own kitchen into a working mink farm. Some of what you'll munch: herring from the LES' Russ & Daughters, Kajmak cheese spread from Astoria's Black Bull Meat Market, and Italian sausage from the Bronx's excellently named Calabria Pork Store. There'll also be goods from Bed-Stuy's A Bake and Double Shop and Staten Island's Coast to Coast Fish -- the most delicious Staten Island export since Robert Loggia.

Borough also sports a full bar up front and a pool-table-equipped lounge in back, where you can suck down NY-brewed beers like Blue Point, Ommegang, and Keegan Ales "Mother's Milk" -- procured from a myriad of friendly neighborhood mothers you're also too lazy to visit.
