Bklyn Larder is squarely in the shadow of the borough’s newest arena, and the shop’s six newish posters asserting the power of salumi and cheese come across as a well-timed antidote for anyone given pause by a cupcake festooned with the Nets logo in frosting. The massive arsenal of food vendors at Barclays may end up being delicious, but there’s no doubt the whole enterprise is a watershed moment for Brooklyn-branded food. More than 130 purveyors were approached by or tried to land a spot with food-service operator Levy, making Franny’s and Bklyn Larder owner Francine Stephens something of a conscientious objector. “We’re not able to mass-produce the food that we do,” the restaurateur told the Times last week, “and we’re not at a place in our lives that we’re willing to compromise.” [Bklyn Larder, Earlier]
