With spring officially underway, you’re sure to see a lot of menus getting major makeovers. After all, this is seasonal, locally-sourced Brooklyn.
This week, two new menus dropped, including a new “gourmet” theater food menu from Videology and a freshly-minted spring menu from Baby’s All Right. Here’s what South Williamsburg-ers and visitors to the area can expect:

Let’s start with Videology: Last week, the video store and bar debuted a new line of gourmet eats, which we had the distinct pleasure of sampling. We give 10s to the “Fully Loaded” Dog, a hotdog topped with Hudson Valley duck and beans, smoked cheddar cheese sauce picked house pepper relish, and the Nachos, which feature pickled ramps and sundried tomato salsa. Here’s the full rundown:
Flavored Popcorn – Cheddar or Chili-Lime Tequila
Jalapeño Soft Pretzel with spicy mustard
Nachos with pickled ramps and sundried tomato salsa
“Fully Loaded” Dog with Hudson Valley duck and beans, smoked cheddar cheese sauce picked house pepper relish
Chocolate-Dipped Candied Orange Peels
And here’s the rest of the menu, which features more basic versions of the dishes from above.
