    Episode 10: Two Seats, Two Stories: Izakaya Fuku & Vineapple Café
    May 11 2025

    Fine Dining & Breathing returns for Episode 10 with a double feature that spans two boroughs and two completely different dining moods.

    First, we visit Izakaya Fuku in Jackson Heights — a compact late-night Japanese spot serving garlic skirt steak, squid with shishito peppers, and ice-cold sake. Then, we shift to a spring brunch at Vineapple Café in Brooklyn Heights, where oatmeal, breakfast sandwiches, and barista charm fill the air.

    Both spots go under the five-point grading system — atmosphere, service, presentation, taste, and price — with honest breakdowns and no food snobbery.

    Come hungry. Leave informed.

    Fine Dining & Breathing returns with a quick but flavorful hit. Today, we visit Milk and Roses in Greenpoint, Brooklyn — a cozy spot where books line the walls, the fireplace crackles, and unlimited mimosas flow on the weekends. I break down the atmosphere, service, presentation, taste, and price — all through the eyes (and appetite) of the everyday consumer. Is this lowkey Brooklyn gem worth a visit? Let’s set the table and find out.
