The F train is not exactly world-renown for its reliability and, this summer, it's about to get a lot less reliable if you live in Southern Brooklyn. For eight weekends, the F train will be suspended as the MTA works on much needed renovations on the line's nearly century-old communication system.

Have you ever met someone who is wise beyond their age? Such people are often referred to as old souls. They understand life and the world better than many zodiac signs. A soul’s age doesn’t necessarily match a person’s actual age. Instead, it advances based on the life experiences someone has.

Little Grenjai first got on our radar with its Thai and American mash-up, the Krapow Smash Burger—a gushed-about item from their summer pop-up days. The smash burger is still one of its most popular bites, so much so that the phrase, “Burger is only available for lunch” is stamped all over its website. And it is no surprise why. Here, the burger is seasoned with chili, basil, and oyster sauce before it's smashed and dressed with a lemongrass and bird’s eye chili giardiniera. One bite, and we were sold. But something tells us that its upcoming collaboration with a local Detrioit-style eatery will have us hooked, too.
