The ribbon cutting ceremony for its inauguration was this Tuesday- and store namesakes “livie and boo” were there. (see top photo)

Even in family-centric Park Slope it’s difficult sometimes to find a NICE place to eat where kids are allowed and – gasp – even welcomed! I found it folks: Barrio at 210 7th Avenue! Sure, it didn’t open yesterday. But it’s both a place where you could go for an evening out (sans kiddos), or, [...]
