The officer wasn’t feeling the Gowanus romance yet. Around the corner on Nevins Street, I’d just had an unusually enjoyable dinner at a restaurant that has been busy constructing its own Gowanus romance. After dinner one night, I was standing across the street from Freek’s Mill reading emails when a bright light blinded me. But romance can bloom anywhere, even on a Superfund site. Freek’s Mill, in short, looks not very different from other young, ingredient-minded Brooklyn restaurants from Greenpoint to Park Slope.
