How to Celebrate Fat Tuesday in Brooklyn
Maybelle’s Café: Hurricane-induced hangovers are hardly a viable excuse for taking off of work on Wednesday, so for a decidedly more sedate Mardi Gras celebration, grab a Southern-inspired lunch at this sunny, Carroll Gardens café. We love the hush puppies with honey butter, fully dressed po boys and towering fried seafood platters with sweet potato fries and remoulade, but if your goal for Lent is to give up meat, you can make a relatively painless transition with the blackened seared tofu served with flavorful collard greens.
