Basia Restaurant
167 Nassau St. Greenpoint, Brooklyn
This place is definitely not too nice looking inside. Kinda dark and weird. Venetian Blinds closed. Polish news on TV. Seen a drunk in there once or twice. But the borscht is pretty nice! And they give you bread. A journey into a dark place that is ultimately rewarding.
Neil Young album: “Tonight’s The Night” (1975)
It’s all about darkness and redemption. About getting wasted and being a trashy sleazebag. But you can’t argue with it’s quality. Sloppy yet full of heart.
