Diner · Williamsburg · 206 tips and reviews
Dee Phunk: The coffee is Stumptown. I'm on my third cup and having a hard time typing this tweet because my hand is shaking. With that being said, the coffee is fantastic.
Dee Phunk: Wine Wednesdays! Every Wednesday from 6 - 9pm, there's a complimentary wine tasting. And every time, I've purchased what I sampled. Give it a shot. But don't bogard the bread and cheese, bro.
Fried Chicken Joint · Williamsburg · 554 tips and reviews
janelle gunther: the chicken sandwich - kind of like a BLAT with fried chicken & ranch dressing - is as messy as it is delicious. ask for extra napkins in advance.
Daniela Asaro: Huge outdoor space. Bocce! But get the drinks at the bar yourself. Wait service is inconsistent and takes forever. Oh, also this place is best served on a weekday.
64 Frost St (btwn Lorimer St & Meeker Ave), Brooklyn, NY

BKbybike NYC: I can't remember the last time I've been somewhere in NYC where I loved everything about the vibe, space, menu and cocktail selection. They nailed it.
366 Metropolitan Ave (at Havemeyer St), Brooklyn, NY
American Restaurant · Williamsburg · 322 tips and reviews
Dee Phunk: Dive bar & fried chicken? Doesn't make sense. But somehow, it works beautifully. Seat yourself (you may have to wait a bit) & order @ the bar. They'll bring it to you. The honey butter is MAGIC.
Chet Mancini: Williamsburg is still cool. This venue is solid, sound fantastic, and has a constant stream of incredible music talent. Pack in with the crowd on the floor.
105 N 6th St (btwn Berry St & Wythe Ave), Brooklyn, NY

Cooper Smith: Sweetwater's brunch takes the quality over quantity route, with only 6 or so choices (depending on specials) but everything is amazing. Go for the Eggs Benedict or the Egg Supreme
