Watty Meg is Open

FYI, Watty & Meg's opened about 2.5 week agos in the old Caffe Carciofo spot. I met 2 of the owners tonight and they were both lovely (and cute!).

Also, they are having a wine and cheese "thingie" on 6/2 from 7-9. It's being thrown with cheeses from Artisanal. Despite the price, I'm hoping to drag a friend or two. $50.00/person:

After working as a set designer in L.A., Sosie Hublitz moved home to Virginia, where she opened, built, or ran half a dozen restaurants. Her last, the year-old Kitchen Table, was wiped out in 2004 by Hurricane Gaston. Since relocated to Cobble Hill, she’s teamed with the owners of Building on Bond (who also operate design firm Hecho Inc.) on Watty & Meg, slated to open May 8 in the space previously occupied by Caffe Carciofo. The restaurant takes its name from a ballad by Scottish naturalist Alexander Wilson, and its salvaged furnishings from the greater metropolitan area: bookshelves from Astoria, church pews from Harlem, tiles from City Hall. The American menu is thoroughly eclectic, nodding to the South with shrimp and grits and to Hublitz’s yoga-teacher sideline with quinoa stew and a weekly “raw” special.

You could be Sosie Hublitz for all I know but, I must say, when I was introduced to her/you (and before I knew she/you was an owner), she was very cold to me (and I can talk to most anyone). It didn't make sense when I heard she was from Virginia as everyone I've ever met from Virginia has always been lovely. It made more sense when I heard she was from LA, having lived there. (The people there are from another planet.)

Regardless of where she's from, you'd think she'd at least act a little friendlier if only because it's us, her patrons, who pay her bills. This is Brooklyn not LA.
