Montreal-style deli. Get the smoked-meat has with two sunny-side-up eggs, potatoes, and burnt nuggets
Heath Ledger left plans for an unfinished restaurant, and out came this place. I am told I should get the burger
The best burger in the city, and the best brunch in the neighborhood. There really isn't a menu, so just sit down and let them tell you what's in store that day.
A newcomer to the neighborhood, absolutely mind-bending combinations of ingredients for a special meal.
FRIED CHICKEN! Get the box with a side of mac & cheese. It's the perfect plate of indulgent food.
Some of the best southern food in the city. Order everything, but the chicken fried steak is special.
The weirdest restaurant in the city, order a boat drink and some fried chicken from the bar. Find a place to sit and wait (for a while) and work on your sugar hangover.
Outstanding new restaurant with whole animals offered every night. Get the whole suckling pig.
The be-all end-all utopia for food. Unbelievable. Get the Mighty Quinn brisket, dough donuts, and basically anything else you can shove in your mouth.
The communal table is awesome...order some sake, get some pork gyozas, a course of their signature sushi tacos (huh?) and a pork belly udon to finish.
Underrated and awesome seafood restaurant off the Graham stop. It's all fish and it's cheap and amazing. I love the lobster and fries or any of the mussel dishes.
A total neighborhood spot, but amazing gringo mexican food. It's the old Bonita staff and menu and it always hits the spot. Chicken empenadas are the best.
Southern BBQ meets Southeastern Asia. Hard to go wrong with most of the menu, make sure you grab a tecate with the yuzu and chili-salt.
We were shocked at how good this place was. Grab a sangria and order more than you think you need in small plates. Imberico ham croquettes!
Friday and Saturday nights this place turns into a ramen bar from midnight to 2am. It's delicious and the perfect drunk food.
Meat meat meat meat and meat. Order meat, then some more meat, and drink some malbec. Done.
Carne Enchilada Torta, Spicy Pork, Beans, Cheese, Salsa Verde, Jalapenos, on a hero. Read more.
You're probably already here, so my tip to GO BEFORE OPENING is probably wasted on you. So I'll just say, GET A WHOLE PIE. Round or square. Both great. It's not worth the wait for only a slice or two. Read more.
Truly, one of the best, and still scariest roller coasters EVER! Sit in the back for the wildest whiplash! Discounts for staying on for a second, or third ride.
It’s true, the cheesecake is famously good…especially when you can take it to go! The food is all-american diner, with a very old-school menu. Huge portions.
You must try the smoked meat sandwich, the poutine and the sour pickles. They are closed daily from 4.30-5.30. Not much in the way of seating, so be prepared to wait.
Hundreds of vendors selling vintage clothing, antiques, new jewelry and arts & crafts. Definitely go for the expanding selection of food!
Come here to get your Football (the European kind) fix. Awesome beer hall atmosphere inside and out. They also serve food! Cash only.
The Chicken Roti and a Double is the way to go, it’s enough for two people. Beware of the hot sauce; it’s for professionals only!
Small and bustling old-school diner with amazing Buffalo Wings. Try the Pulled Pork or the Skirt Steak sandwich.
The sweet ladies that run this teeny tiny space are serving up some of the best Jerk Chicken and the Curry Goat around. Don’t rush here as you’re now on Island time.
Awesome brunch, but be prepared to WAIT. Try the Egg Rothkos or the Biscuits & Gravy. Less of a wait for dinner, when you should try the Fried Oyster Sandwich or the Carolina Kale.
Check out their Trivia Night…it’s so much fun. We also love the $4 cans of Porkslap and either their Burger or Bodega Fish Tacos.
Chock-full of the homey (wool blankets), the necessary (frying pans) and the endearingly random (Lithuanian leather key covers), this sunny mom-and-pop is the kind of shop we wish we could live in.
Alec Stuart and Celeste Wright kept the original signage but replaced the washing machines with A.P.C., Rachel Comey and Rag & Bone at this gorgeously renovated, ash-wood-accented former dry cleaner.
Eric Famisan and Sarah Ryhanen's hand-cut olive-oil-based soaps are sold worldwide, but only at their secret garden-esque Red Hook shop can you scoop them up along with gorgeous seasonal bouquets.
Try the house-rolled tagliatelle, with crispy brussel sprouts, rich tomato butter and creamy burrata. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more.
Bolognese is a must. Some of the best I've ever had. Get a quartino of multipulciano too. Parpadelle with short rib ragu is a close second.
Mushroom Spatzel. Small is a good side for 1 person. Large could easily be split btw 2 people. For dinner, i suggest the white 1 Bavarian sausage with a small Spatzel. Great cocktails too!
Their iced-coffee is some of the best in the neighborhood. Nice back garden, but i prefer to eat at some of the other neighborhood spots.
Bring an iced coffee and watch the kids play on the playground or the old men on the bocce court.
Monday night special $10 burger and beer is the best deal in Brooklyn. Burger was so so good. Porticos as an app were excellent - coming from a guy who knows his polish food.
Get your rolls to go and eat them in the backyard of The Ice House (with a beer), down the block.
not your average breakfast sandwich! Arugula, cheddar, eggs and bacon on ciabatta. $6 well spent, especially if the wait at buttermilk is ridiculous.
Rock shrimp for app. American dream roll and spicy scallop roll are my favs. Pass on the king crab roll not worth it. Pink lady nothing to write home about.
I'm not a General Tso's kind of guy, but this is some of the best I've had in New York. The General himself would be proud.
This place is mangolicious. Salads, wraps, smoothies and ice coffee to give you a 4 hour spike.
