Happy Hour at Olea

 Brooklyn’s Fort Greene neighborhood has a bustling food and wine scene these days. We don’t wander that way for dinner very often, but whenever we do we find another favorite restaurant. For a special treat on a day off from work, we managed to beat the dinner rush and find a table at Olea. Every time we have tried to eat there in the past, it’s been so crowded we couldn’t even get the hosts attention to find out how long of a wait it might be. This time we walked in and got a table right away. Even better, we got there early enough for Happy Hour, something that we almost never get to enjoy, at any restaurant.
