Maimonide of Brooklyn

Walking down Atlantic Avenue late the other night, I couldn't help but notice a dazzling display of lights and ultramodern decor glaring out of a windowed storefront.  I hadn't noticed it before, but this restaurant popped up sometime in the last few weeks and now it is a bright and shining beacon that both intimidates me and tempts me to enter.

Well, it was midnight and the place had just closed, but I snuck into Maimonide's front door and grabbed a paper menu and a comic book from the front window (where they were presumably laid out for the taking).  So much explanation for this one little restaurant!  I mean, I guess that's what menus are for- information- but usually they're more of a list than an exposition.  I guess this place is offering a new kind of restaurant experience, and they need to 'splain themselves.

So the front of the menu tells us all about Maimonide of Brooklyn and their layout... the back tells us the actual food items, and the comic book explains the restaurant's history & the deal with the vegetarian food they serve.  Superheroic offerings of veggie-oriented dishes with a Brookyn-centric slant (puff-pastried shaped like Brooklyn Bridge arcs?). Ok... I'm interested to try it, but Brooklyn restaurateurs seriously need to spend less time  on their dish titles and more time on the perfection of those dishes.  We know- you guys are clever and stylish!  Now get us to come through your doors for more than just the novelty of your whole thing.  

Is there maybe a glossary for your fancy vegetable offerings?
Could it be in comic book form, please?
And would it perhaps be easier to keep the utensils on the table?

To be continued once I try the place: "One Oyster Mushroom and Chick Pea Nuggets, one Brave Heart MOB & a Brewklyn Grind Direct Trade Regular French Press, Please."  Geez, could Brooklynites love themselves any more?  I guess they could live in Manhattan...
