karen bonna rainert: Don't skip the burger here--it's truly amazing. Note though: the default is double patties, so ask for a single if you want to keep your girlish figure.
Italian Restaurant · Clinton Hill · 113 tips and reviews
Alex Rainert: The best rustic Italian food we've had in NYC. The octopus and baccala appetizers are winners and the beef tagliata entree slayed. Also, great atmosphere and super friendly service.
American Restaurant · North Slope · 71 tips and reviews
Alex Rainert: As someone who prides himself on being a rotisserie chicken connoisseur, the birds here are top notch. The whole wheat mac and cheese + chopped salad make for a great combo.

BBQ Joint · North Slope · 51 tips and reviews
Alex Rainert: Bangin' BBQ in the Slope. If the food is always as good as it was tonight, they'll outgrow this tiny outpost really fast. Can't miss with the ribs, pork, slaw and mac & cheesy.
American Restaurant · Central Slope · 128 tips and reviews
Alex Rainert: The Hangtown Fry consists of eggs, Vermont cheddar, bacon and tempura-fried oysters. That's right. Oysters. Breakfast re-imagined. Recognize.
Italian Restaurant · Prospect Heights · 23 tips and reviews
Alex Rainert: This black squid ink pasta with clams jumped right into my top 5 favorite pasta dishes in NYC. Everything else we had was top notch and the jovial Italian atmosphere rounds the whole experience out.

BBQ Joint · North Slope · 203 tips and reviews
Alex Rainert: Tough to go wrong anywhere on this menu filled w/ great bar snacks. Pulled pork, porkie melt, shrimp po'boy = all great. Tater tots & killer o-rings on the side. Lots of beers on tap and a fun vibe.
American Restaurant · Red Hook · 194 tips and reviews
Alex Rainert: Amazing brunch. Super refreshing Bloody Mary, awesome corned beef hash & feast your peepers on this Dutch pancake, y'all! Don't miss out on the Prix Fixe either- comes w/ a main, a coffee & cocktail.
Italian Restaurant · Brooklyn Heights · 108 tips and reviews
Alex Rainert: The name lulls you into thinking this is just another deli when in fact it's some of the best rustic italian food in Brooklyn. Great pastas. Laid back atmosphere too. Go here.
Mexican Restaurant · Crown Heights · 291 tips and reviews
Alex Rainert: Food is always great but boy do they have a killer brunch. Try the Chavela's Omelette (avocado, bacon and cheese) w/ a side of chorizo hash. Bonus: they put cinnamon in their coffee so it's mad cozy.

Spanish Restaurant · Cobble Hill · 142 tips and reviews
Alex Rainert: Wow. Tough to get a table but it's worth it for the authentic Spanish cuisine that made us nostalgic for Barcelona. The chickpeas, fideua paella, crispy suckling pig. Also, El Arrako = amazing drink.
Alex Rainert: The Peanut Butter Cup sundae is coffee bean ice cream (hell yeah!) w/ peanut sauce, hot fudge, whip cream and chocolate shavings. It's a heap of killer flavors that go great together.
