State Sen. Savino Gets Noticed For Impassioned Gay Marriage Speech
In May, Serious Eats alerted to the closing of a pet food store on Prospect Park West in Brooklyn, as the storefront was stripped down to its original "beautiful stained glass sign from an old, possibly 1930s-era sweets shop." Soon enough a tapas restaurant popped up, called Get on Tapas (get it?), and locals were checking out the menu for the new neighborhood spot...only to discover they were fooled by Hollywood.
Turns out the movie I Hate Valentine's Day, which features a reunited Nia Vardalos and John Corbett, is the source of the confusion. The rom-com is based around a florist who tries to convince a restaurant owner to date her without the fear of it becoming a full-fledged relationship. But the locals are more interested in the menu and reviews of the faux establishment, which are displayed on the windows.
The review prop states that Get on Tapas offers a "modest and casual" atmosphere and offers up reasonably priced food cooked on induction burners, panini presses, and toaster ovens. But kiss the punny-named tapas joint goodbye, locals--rumor has it a liquor store will be opening once production is done.

Arghh Comic Sans!
I am none the wiser about what the hell this is all about and now i've lost interest.
haha wow, i've seen this place and just assumed it was a new restaurant
Second the Comic Sans frustration. Is it a fake restaurant or a real middle school science presentation?
No one was fooled by this... what? The surrounding sidewalk has been closed for 2 weeks and there is a big white truck and an obvious movie crew constantly parked out front. What what?
Dratch rules.
the "review" for get on tapas is so poorly written I'm surprised frank bruni hasn't sued for libel
I was fooled, I admit it! They are filming there, yes, but it seems like they could be filming next door as well. I even walked by the one day and said to my son, "Look, a new restaurant." A PA snickered at me. Okay, I am a sucker.
They've been filming this movie all over Brooklyn, including Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens. I wonder if the movie will be set in Brooklyn or some other city, like Peoria or Baton Rouge.
YAWN
