Now I have to go! Grew up in the area and loved another Coney Island red sauce joint, Carolina, which was around the corner on Mermaid Ave. near Stillwell. That's been gone for years. Love the shout out to Brennan and Carr. Best roast beef sandwich on earth. Great work.
Went there many times as a teenager. Correction on the stuffoli caption. I grew up eating these, and make them every year for Christmas. They’re not at all like croquembuche. Struffoli are tiny balls of fried dough. Croquembouche are a choux pastry with a cream filling (cream puffs).
Fun fact: Sal, the owner of Cobble Hill Cleaners got married there! Great place. And thank you for the Scarpariello recipe. I definitely need to make that.
That was an amazing meal!!

I hope you do go. Never knew about Carolina.

Thank you. The dessert was confusing. Different people in the restaurant called it different things.
Yes! I’m so sorry for my confusing caption. I meant to say a Christmastime speciality, like a croquembuche! Thank you for your comment!! ❤️😬

Let us know how it turns out.
Compelling. Hope you’re ready to go back, again, soon! 😬
We are!
