The General Greene

Working in Brooklyn, at least for a day, provides unbelievable benefits. Like meeting friends at The General Greene in Fort Greene for lunch. I had the roasted pork sandwich with pickled okra and a spicy aioli (perfectly spiced if you asked me). Kathleen had the meatball hero. And John had banana bread (supposedly amazing ... I didn't try it) and yogurt. Simple food for simple folk, also exemplified by their order-at-the-counter system for lunchtime. Who wants to make the trek for dinner?

CONSUMED: The General Greene; 229 Dekalb Ave, Fort Greene (Brooklyn)

  2. The only time I've tried, it was closed. They don't like home-for-the-holiday folk, it seems.
