River Styx & Torst: Get Ready To Get (MORE) Spoiled Greenpoint!

When we visited Florida we drove up the middle of the state to see some birds at Lake Okeechobee. We got in late and our options were: Taco Bell, McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy’s and Black Gold Steakhouse. We obviously ate at Black Gold and enjoyed deep fried green beans. The next day we had breakfast at Ding-A-Ling Deli. Otherwise, the options for shit food were endless.
On a typical Friday night in Greenpoint, while figuring out where to go to eat or get a drink with friends, I always step outside myself and view the conversation from above and we always sound like a bunch of spoiled assholes. It goes like this:

“Five Leaves?”
“Are you crazy? It’s 8pm!”
“Calexico.”
“I just ate there for lunch yesterday.”
“Calyer?”
“I’m a vegan.”
“Manhattan Inn?”
“Not in the mood for piano.”
“Habitat?”
“Kind of far to walk.”
“No Name.”
“Can’t eat the noodles upstairs after 8.”
“Lomzynianka?”
“I can see it, there’s a line.”
“Paulie Gee.”
“I have a gluten allergy.”
“Adelina’s.”
“I want a cocktail.”

This can go on forever, because the list of amazing options we have to chose from is endless in Greenpoint. When we get into this spoiled circle jerk I now say, “At least it’s not Lake Okeechobee!”

As reported by EATER, we can add two more anticipated to be awesome options on our list. Down Greenpoint Ave, near Transmitter Park, the owners of Roebling Tea Room plan to open River Styx in April.
On Manhattan Ave, near Enid’s, a famous Danish Brewer named Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø and Daniel Burns of Momofuku are opening a brew pub with Scandanavian food called Tørst.
And don’t forget, Andrew Tarlow’s Achilles Heel is now open on West and Green St.
