If you love mac 'n cheese (and who doesn't), you may want to check out The Great Greenpoint Mac Off this weekend, a competition among four Brooklyn bars to win "the highly coveted title of 'Greenpoint’s Best Mac & Cheese'."
The event, which is free and open to the public, takes on the form of a bar crawl, and participants get to sample mac 'n cheese from each bar (in addition to enjoying bar specials) to help determine the winner at the end of the night. A separate judging will also take place at 8 pm by local "celebrities" to determine the best bar fare. An after party tops off the festivities. Here are the details:
"Starting at 4pm at Red Star, chef, John Manzo serves up his menu’s Mac ‘N Cheese the day. At its own pace, the crawl moves to The Habitat where chef/owner Ashley Engmann offers samples from their standard menu. Participants then cross the road to The Mark Bar, the tried and true Greenpoint watering hole celebrating its 5th year, where Chef Michael Diprima of Lamb and Jaffee...serves the group from their all day menu. The crawl moves one block to t.b.d. Brooklyn to receive a final sample prepared by chef Cody Utzman, owner of local Cali-Mex eatery Papacitos and the soon to open Brooklyn Standard."
And the contenders are:
Red Star
37 Greenpoint Ave
The Habitat
988 Manhattan Ave
The Mark Bar
1025 Manhattan Ave
t.b.d. Brooklyn
