“If you’ve trekked out
from Manhattan, or even if you happen to live around the corner
in Park Slope, it’s an unexpected pleasure to walk into
such a modest room and stick your nose in a crunchy-topped cauliflower
gratin, say, or an expertly prepared fillet of pink Tasmanian
sea trout.” – Adam Platt, New York Magazine

applewood opened in late September, 2004, and has developed a
steadily growing list of neighborhood customers. These customers
return, time and again, for the daily-changing menu, seasonal cocktails,
and applewood’s devotion to sustainably grown, local products.
Laura and David Shea, applewood’s co-owners, show their
dedication to local farmers in everything they do. From purchasing
meats and produce for the restaurant’s menu to featuring a
nearby farm at their regular Meet-the-Farmer dinners, they make
every effort to help support small farmers.
The Sheas believe their love of food, family and friends is on
display every day at applewood. Housed on the ground floor of a
turn-of-the-century storefront, applewood projects a relaxed, neighborhood
feel with its dark wood bar, working fireplace, and comfortable
seating, both indoors and out. It is a restaurant perfect for both
a casual neighborhood meal and a special event destination.

Check back to find out about our next Meet-the-Farmer dinner series.
After the first of the year, we’ll be inviting more of our
local farmers to join us for food and fun-filled nights featuring
their very own products! We had a great time during our last series
which featured Ian Marvy of Added Value Farm in Red Hook, Brooklyn,
as well as Amy Hepworth of Hepworth Farm in Milton, New York. We
also had the very special pleasure of inviting Ridge Shinn of the
Hardwick Beef Cooperative (www.hardwickbeef.com)
for his third Meet-the-Farmer dinner!
