Restaurants In Williamsburg
our suggestions
-
Brooklyn Bowl
61 Wythe Ave., Brooklyn, NYA music venue, bowling alley, bar, and restaurant all rolled into one. And they serve Blue Ribbon’s famous food. Like the ultimate birthday party/bar mitzvah/sweet sixteen spot for adult people.

Sel De Mer
374 Graham Avenue, Brooklyn, NYIn another life, if we weren’t programmed to be music biz douchebags and quasi-professional eaters, we’d be more than happy being beach bums. A life of surfing, fish tacos and girls in bikinis sounds pretty damn good right about now, especially with winter closing in on us. Sadly, NYC is about as far away from [...]

Mable’s Smokehouse
44 Berry St., Williamsburg, NYIt didn’t take much time for us to realize that we were going to like Mable’s Smokehouse. Why? For starters, Frito pie. High fives if you know what that is. Chances are you spent some time as a kid hanging at a suburban Texas pool snack bar. I certainly ate my fair share of the [...]

Pies ‘n’ Thighs
166 S. 4th St., Brooklyn, NYThe new Pies ‘n’ Thighs has opened its doors, and Williamsburg’s most influential hipsters are rejoicing. At least that seemed to be the case when we recently visited with Forking Tasty‘s Jason Anello. As a matter of fact, I’m pretty sure we happened to be eating there while the hipster council of elders was holding [...]

Aurora
10 Grand St., Brooklyn, NYEver been to one of those fast food Chinese restaurants that turned into a fast food Mexican restaurant overnight? Suddenly the Happy Taco opens on your block and the same dude that delivered General Tso’s to your neighbor three nights a week is slinging enchiladas? Well then you don’t get out enough. What does that [...]

The Commodore
366 Metropolitian Ave, Brooklyn, NYI made a pact with my arteries the other day. Basically, we agreed that I would eat nothing but steel cut oats and raw carrots for the next six months to atone for what I did to them at The Commodore last week. In return, they agreed to let me off the hook for putting [...]

Saltie
378 Metropolitan Ave., Brooklyn, NYGetting my hands on one of Saltie’s delicious sandwiches was no easy task. It took three failed attempts before I finally took my first bite. Attempt #1: 7:30pm on a Wednesday. I figured the place would be packed – instead it was boarded up. Saltie closes at 6pm daily. That’s pretty annoying, but OK, fine. [...]

Café De La Esquina
225 Wythe Ave., Williamsburg, NYThe folks at La Esquina were smart to tone it down when they made the venture across the East River to Williamsburg. An exclusive dungeon dining room guarded by a guy with a clipboard and a ponytail might work just fine in Nolita, but that stuff ain’t gonna play in Brooklyn. Instead, management took their [...]

Dressler
149 Broadway, Brooklyn, NYDressler offers Williamsburg locals a legitimate downtown Manhattan-esque dining option without having to travel over the bridge. Prices are a bit steep, and portions on the skimpy side.

Rye
247 S. 1st St., Brooklyn, NYThis old timey New York restaurant thing is starting to get played out, but the food at Rye is pretty great. Go for the meatloaf sandwich.
