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 [...]

Walter Foods
253 Grand St., Brooklyn, NYYou know how you can tell a good neighborhood restaurant? When the bartender and hostess hug everyone that comes in the place. We were at Walter Foods a few weeks ago and saw more hugs getting handed out here than on the first day of a furry convention. I guess if you live near Walter [...]

Dokebi
199 Grand St., Brooklyn, NYOne of the most popular questions we get from people is where exactly our restaurant intel comes from. Well, besides obviously paying close attention to openings, buzz and eater.com, we listen to our friends.

Zenkichi
77 North 6th St., Brooklyn, NYIn need of a light bite before a show at Williamsburg Waterfront, we hit Twitter to see what the people would recommend.

Roebling Tea Room
143 Roebling Street, Brooklyn, NYBrooklynites have consistently been in our ear about hitting the Roebling Tea Room for EATS, and after a recent lackluster meal here, we’re left wondering why. It’s a solid Neighborhood Hang for a beer and some Action at the Bar – especially during the summer, when the Outdoor/Patio Situation is open. But, the Tea Room [...]

1 Or 8
66 S. 2nd St., Brooklyn, NY1 Or 8 is a crazy looking, modern Japanese restaurant which recently opened in Williamsburg. Chances are, you’ve likely never seen or heard of it before because it’s in the middle of nowhere. Design-wise, think hipsters in Antarctica (that’s kind of an awesome band name). Although it doesn’t seem to have hit the mainstream radar, [...]

DuMont
432 Union Avenue, Brooklyn, NYDuMont is definitely a dope hang, especially in the summer, when hipsters flock to the patio and treehouse section like it’s an American Apparel trunk sale. But aside from an excellent burger and the fan favorite mac-n-cheese, the dopeness ends there.

Isa
348 Wythe Ave., Williamsburg, NYWe are often torn about how many chances to give a restaurant. Do we make three different visits, on different days, at different times, to ensure that the place gets a fair shot to impress us? That might be the way the pros do it, but that’s not typically how we roll. Why? Because this [...]

Lodge
318 Grand St., Brooklyn, NYLodge is unfortunately like Freemans’ apathetic little brother – trying hard to emulate, but falling short of the effortless cool of their older sibling.
