Fette Sau
354 Metropolitan Ave., Brooklyn, NYLadies and gentlemen, we have a new favorite BBQ spot. Situated inside what used to be an old auto body shop, this gutted garage is raging every night of the week.

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 [...]

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.

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. Multiple familiar and now trusted handles suggested Zenkichi. Done. After walking right by the unmarked exterior twice, we finally figured out that the bamboo building on the corner was what we were looking [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]
