This month we can tell Hurricane Irene stories, discuss Libya and think about what comes next for local politics.

I should note that the primary and special elections are at the same time. If there is anyone who wants to skip the meeting to campaign for Cheryl Gonzales or David Weprin, contact Lambda Independent Democrats and tell them you want to help where Cheryl Gonzales and David Weprin's districts overlap (which is basically the Brooklyn part of Weprin's district). That is the most critical place for campaigning.

As a head's up, the next Central Brooklyn Eating Liberally group meeting will be September 13, 7 PM at Cafe Steinhof in South Slope. The notice of that meeting will come later. For now I want to re-post my review of the restaurant.

I once knew an Austrian scientist who has since moved on to bigger and better things. Back when we used to hang out drinking together, he told me of a wonderful Austrian restaurant he had found right in my own neighborhood in Brooklyn. Thus I was introduced to the "Austrian comfort food" of Cafe Steinhof by someone who knew Austrian food from birth.  read more »
