Restaurants In Brooklyn
our suggestions
-
Colonie
127 Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn, NYColonie is a new-ish restaurant on Atlantic Ave., on the north side of the street…so it still counts as Brooklyn Heights. That’s an important technicality, considering the restaurant is publicly declaring itself the beginning of a new restaurant era for the neighborhood. See, before Colonie, Brooklyn Heights did not have its own Frankies 457, or [...]

Char No. 4
196 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NYChar No. 4 is essentially our New York City dream house – a warm, inviting space with a wall of bourbon and a smoker. This is Southern influenced food in New York City, and it’s damn good.

Gran Electrica
5 Front St., Brooklyn, NYWe’ve done plenty of complaining about the lack of good Mexican food in New York, and to be honest, we’re sick of talking about it. Saying there’s no good Mexican in this city is the tantamount to saying that Times Square sucks. Not exactly breaking news. But today might be the day that we can [...]

Franny’s
295 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NYWe finally made our way out to Franny’s, partly because we had heard so much about it from awesome people (Mike D), and partly because we need a new favorite spot out here now that we’re afraid to go to Lucali. What we found was one crowded, but amazing restaurant that is as good or [...]

Tanoreen
7523 3rd Ave., Bay Ridge, NYDamn. People really love Tanoreen. And I mean loooove it. You know how I can tell? I actually know people that have been there, and it’s in Bay Ridge. Not too long ago, Kim Kardashian could have been handing out free lottery tickets and Chipwiches from a truck in Bay Ridge and I still probably [...]

Traif
229 S. 4th St., Brooklyn, NYTraif is awesome. It’s exactly the kind of restaurant we enjoy hanging out at, and would happily set up shop here permanently if we weren’t constantly running around trying new places. Infatuation Nation was in our ear about this one, and, as usual, the good people who email and tweet at us came through with [...]

Buttermilk Channel
524 Court St., Brooklyn, NYA true Brooklyn Neighborhood Hang, and it’s equally popular among young hipster singles and the families that fill it for Sunday dinner. The fried chicken is one of the best you’ll find in town, and almost everything else you’ll eat here is fantastic.

Al Di La
248 5th Ave., Brooklyn, NYA while back, Stang wrote a letter to Little Owl, which I thought was one of his best reviews to date. Now it’s my turn. Dearest Al Di La. It’s taken way too long for this relationship to get off the ground. People have been telling me about you for a while now, saying we’d [...]

Diner
85 Broadway, Brooklyn, NYBelieve it or not, people used to live in Williamsburg because it was cheaper than Manhattan, not because it was cool. Before the hipster invasion began in the late 90′s, the South side belonged to the Hasidim and Peter Luger. Sure, there were always artists, musicians and .com hopefuls living there, but it was nothing [...]

Prime Meats
465 Court St., Brooklyn, NYAn Infatuation go-to from the proprietors of the Frankies restaurants (457 & 17). The menu is heavy and meat-centric, but most everything is incredible, especially the steaks and anything that sounds German, which is pretty much everything. Also, make sure come for brunch.
