And lo: a purveyor of delectable, artfully crafted foods, drinks, and entertainments that isn’t just putting on the spatial charm for your $ (although they might be interested in that $ to keep the lights on). They are Hassle friends, the Whisk Team at Brassica Kitchen (aka the Fazenda Cafe space) of Forest Hills distinguishment.

For months, maybe even years now, co-owners Phil and Jeremy have been working long after the daytime café closes to concretize their vision of a neighborhood friendly restaurant and JP hub for local music, films, and general hangouts. Go there as early as 6:00am and sip on their in-house-roasted java beans. Go there on Sunday nights when they often host a pop-up Forest Hills Supper Club—a testing grounds for their culinary and beverage-ary innovation, which they plan to roll out in full, nightly force starting in May.

You ought to have been there for the monthly Hassle HOMEGROWN night of fuzz- and psych-tinged rock they’ve been hosting all winter. And I hope you’ll be there on Monday, May 2nd to enjoy the first installment of the CAFFENOL experimental film series, also presented by your Hassle. These are just the beginnings of their exploits into the not-for-profit-for-fun entertainment sector.

So yes, set forth and go hang at this gem of an all-purpose space across from the Forest Hills T: Brassica Kitchen + Café. We’ll see you there.
