A look at the socially distanced line for pre-batched martinis and dry-brined chickens in Bed-Stuy
Raven Heinz-Garcia. Photo: Kyle Dorosz Every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., patrons wait outside the Brooklyn restaurant for takeaway rotisserie chicken, pét-nat, and braised butter beans.Is this your first time picking up here? No, I come every Wednesday to grab chicken.
When you’re a regular, the employees address you by name. It makes you feel really special hearing someone say, “Raven, your rotisserie chicken is ready,” which says a lot about how little human interaction we’re having right now.I have two roommates, Brian and Izzie. They’re my good friends. And they’re a couple. We’re all making a science-fair volcano together.Yeah, I logged on. Half the guys are like, “Hey, done any good puzzles lately?” Then the other half are like, “Hey, you ready to break quarantine? I have a car.” Actually, those types of messages should probably be flagged by the algorithm. Christian F. Marchand, accountant, lives in Bed-Stuy.

My friends are getting all these specialized deliveries: loaves from bread guys, nut butter from nut-butter guys. I got a mushroom-growing kit from some mushroom farmers. And we all pick up bottles of White Negronis from the Fly, which is what I’m here for. Eric Benick, writer and editor, lives in Clinton Hill.

My partner and I have a cocktail-of-the-week thing happening. Two weeks ago, gin martinis; last week, Negronis. This week’s yet to be decided, though I’m on a pretty heavy gin kick. Not a gin bender, though, don’t worry. Peter Redmond, facilities coordinator, lives in Clinton Hill. Photo: Kyle Dorosz Ketter Weissman, freelance writer, lives in Bed-Stuy.

I moved to Bed-Stuy from Harlem on Friday, March 13, literally right before the city shut down. I was living alone. Now I’m quarantining with seven brand-new roommates. And in the beginning, one of them got sick. Thankfully, he’s okay and we all vibe. Sami Wittwer, designer, lives in Bed-Stuy. Photo: Kyle Dorosz Rachel Webster, film editor, lives in Clinton Hill.

I’ll, like, put vinaigrette at the bottom of a mixing bowl, then dump a salad on top and eat from the bowl. One less dish. Michael Gumbley, CEO, lives in Clinton Hill.
