Two Boots -- named for the geographical shapes of Italy and Louisiana -- was born on June 24th, 1987. Founders Doris Kornish & Phil Hartman, indie filmmakers who loved Cajun food and culture (Phil having opened the Great Jones Café, a Cajun juke joint, in 1983), teamed up with local developer John Touhey, to create the original Two Boots Restaurant, a family-friendly, full-service restaurant at 37 Ave A in NYC's East Village.

Two Boots Park Slope aims to carry on the tradition of Two Boots Brooklyn, which had a great run of 24+ years (1989-2014). John Touhey, our original partner, moved to Park Slope in 1989, and wanted to open a branch in his new 'hood. Two Boots Brooklyn went on to become a neighborhood favorite, with live music, a full bar, a kids step-up to the pizza station and a broad menu that included Cajun favorites. In October 2013, TB Brooklyn closed, but in November of 2014, a new incarnation of Two Boots opened in Park Slope at 5th Ave. & 1st St., featuring Two Boots pizza, plus sliders, po' boys, salads and a great selection of tap beers. And the Home Pie, "The Hogwallop," honors local resident John Turturro for his role in the great film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
