Gothamist: Expect well-crafted cocktails and a great yard. Pro tip: In summer, they often throw barbecues. Last year $5 scored a huge plate of Korean BBQ and homemade pickles from a neighborhood Momofuku chef!
Gothamist: This place offers up a sea-themed vibe, and we hear a garden is coming soon. When asked, our photographer simply told us: CLAM ROLL. So, get the clam roll. Pro tip: If you want a fork, bring your own.
Ingrid Stenquist: Honestly, this bar is stellar in comparison to others on 5th ave in south slope. Also free pop corn and pork slap on tap! Personal fav kelso nut brown too!
Brew York: From the owners of Bar Great Harry and Mission Dolores comes this little dive with a whopping 28 American & imported craft beers on tap, 2 cask engines, and 3 pinball machines!
Mike Ciliento: Great soccer bar alternative if black horse pub is too much for ya. Friendly bartenders and a great beer list. Kid friendly (as much as a bar can be "kid friendly")

Anthony: fried chicken is succulent. salmon is top notch. yuca tater tots are a wonderful. kiwi burger is homemade magic. impeccable service & the ambiance is cozy and welcoming. happy hour deal from 4-6 daily
Match Thisfly: They have a very creative and delicious cocktail menu. The lime in the coconut is everything! Henry, the bartender and part owner is a class act. Order pizza from next door & proceed to get crunk.
Serious Eats: Beer is the main event here but you'd be making a mistake to overlook the food menu: great burgers and sandwiches and really good wings among other things. It's all good.
Sushi Restaurant · South Slope · 37 tips and reviews
Marc Mayer: Does android Jiro dream of electric sushi? Expect something completely over the top when you order. It's most likely going to have glowing ice, a tower of something, or both. Tasty fish, too.

Mexican Restaurant · Gowanus · 41 tips and reviews
Valentin Guerin: New kid on the block, good cocktails (mezcal based) and food. It's not your typical Mexican but worth a try. Ask for an outdoor seat if the weather is nice!
Kino: This casual cocktail bar, in Gowanus, will offer a mix of "high and lowbrow" drinks and a small food program. Owner Katipai Richardson-Wilson's goal is to serve both ends of the drinking spectrum.
Michael Chen: One of the best “neighborhood” restaurants I’ve been to in a long time. And I mean this in the best way possible. Sit at the chefs counter to see how it’s done.
Indian Restaurant · North Slope · 16 tips and reviews

Noah Weiss: Fantastic and inventive Oaxacan food. Everything was great, including the short rib mole, tuna tostada, beef tongue tacos, and scallop aguachille. Eat in the backyard. Cocktails were great, too.
