The bone marrow solves all... a gateway protein kinda like bacon. So great the whole world stands on its head. - Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations
It’s hard to go wrong with anything on Diner’s concise, oft-changing menu but of course the burger is popular as ever at lunch. - Inspector
No question, it's the best barbecue in the city. The best part is the casual & playful atmosphere: beer served in mason jars, buffet style line-up & huge communal tables. Read more.
the ideal meal: start with grilled tomato and Burratta. The hangar steak, spinach gratin, and pan fried truffle mashed. Finish with Meyer lemon cheesecake. Classics for a reason here...
Brownstone Brooklyn meets rustic Mediterranean: eggplant salad, chorizo, and piquillo peppers liven up the brunch menu here, but the most notable dish (not just for its name) is Green Eggs and Lamb. Read more.

"The leopard-spotted crust remains remarkably pliant in support of pockets of ricotta, while caramelized onions and sesame seeds elevate the too-often bland white slice ($3.50) to a higher realm." Read more.
If a garden could grow a fresh, delicious cocktail, it'd be the "Cool Hand Cuke". Unique, tasty & a perfect drink to sip as you wait for a table (they don't take reservations, but the wait was fun).
Probably the best ice cream you'll have this summer. Chef Sam Mason (he of wd~50 fame) is a flavour mixing wizard. The weirder the combinations sound in your head, the better they taste in yo' mouth.
Open to only 12 diners per night, this spot is extremely difficult to get into. Once you snag a reservation, you'll be rewarded with an incredible 20+ course tasting menu. The pastas are all divine.
If you haven't visited the bar's back parlor room, be sure to do so. Complete with its own bar, a roaring fireplace, and cozy couches perfect for lounging, it's the ideal place to go on a cold day.
Polenta was amazing and the pork belly reminded me that I could never make it as a vegetarian.
Traditional takes on Vietnamese drinking food—pork chops, noodles, banh mi, and more. We're partial to the pork chop and oxtail stew.
Tomoko Kato mans this small dessert bar, which allows guests a choice of a 2 or 3-course dessert prix fixe at the counter. Get the Black Sesame Creme Brulee, which comes with a sake ice cream scoop.
Great food, pretty healthy fare, and tons of craft beer. Cool space, too. Bartender says there's a DJ on weekend nights and bluegrass band on Sundays.
Try the Maccheroni With Pork Sausage And Rapini - As always, pasta was perfectly cooked and dish was perfectly balanced. A light stock supported the flavors beautifully.
Mr. Dips is in a hidden park up a set of stairs beneath the William Vale Hotel. The park feels like a mini High Line, and it’s one of the best kept secrets of Williamsburg. (The Infatuation)
Saw on unique sweets. They highlighted the twice baked almond croissant and the caramel hazelnut pear tart
Try the Key Lime Pie soft-serve flavor. Dressed up with crumbled graham crackers, it’s good enough to compete with any ice-cream sundae in town. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more.
Best ice cream in Brooklyn. Pretzel cones. Snap, Mallow, Pop or anything with potato chips in it.
So friendly! Try the pear lemonade. The crab roll overflows with sweet, buttery goodness. Fun, creative sodas by Joia and Found are nice. Crab leg platter is also a treat.
Hang with friends on a nice day. I love that it is dog-friendly, has a good selection of both craft beer and cheap beers, and have a solid selection of seasonal fancy cocktails. BBQ ribs are A+.
Love this new brewery! The clam pizza is out of this world. Nice place to have a few beers (New England IPA is a fav) and enjoy some great food.
Favorite wings in NYC, and I've had a lot. Crispy & saucy. Their "buffalo" sauces are mild & medium. For "hot" or "hotter," they add extract sauces for added spice. "Hot" is my favorite, and it's hot.
Very unique selection of flavors. Raspberry Cilantro, Lychee Rose, Mangosteen, Black Sesame Seaweed, Durian, Thai Tea, Honey Ginger etc. Get them all! Definitely a unique experience.
Voted one of the top Mexican restaurants in America by Thrillist May 19. They reco the crispy chix skin & beet chorizo
