It was more than a little depressing to see the first North Brooklyn Farms get clobbered by bulldozers last fall, even if everybody knew it was coming. But as of this weekend, the farm is back and better than ever with Sunday night dinner parties, a fireworks viewing, and a host of other community events extending through the tolerable months. But best of all is that North Brooklyn Farms, now the Farm on Kent, will be an accessible plot of nature for the neighborhood’s residents.

The three points of the East Village’s “Brewmuda Triangle,” Standings, Burp Castle and Jimmy’s No. 43, have all announced they are open tonight after a 15-day closure due to the Second Avenue gas explosion that destroyed three buildings, including the one right next to the three bars.

Foodies from all backgrounds, including Stanton Social chef and Food Network star Chris Santos, gathered on d.b.a’s back patio Wednesday evening, under (probably redundant) heat lamps, to taste some 200 hot sauces from over the world. Twenty judges weighed in, and the concoctions with the best kick in the bunch will receive a personalized trophy at the Third Annual Hot Sauce Expo, to be held at the Brooklyn Expo April 25 and 26.
