"I note that Heiss and his partner Matt Nelson also run Radicle Wine, the hip next-door natural wine shop they opened in October 2020; Brooklyn Hots could be the only time trash plates are served with natural wine in a restaurant setting, and corkage fees are waived for bottles purchased at Radicle. Having worked in natural wine and heard criticisms of pretension, Heiss wants both the shop and the restaurant to feel welcoming, and the musical, neighborhood vibe (including a local jazz band often performing on the sidewalk on Saturdays) carries through between the two businesses." - Emma Orlow
