The Best Places to Eat in Brooklyn: 10 Restaurants We Love
"Maialino, New York|Courtesy of Maialino, credit: Ellen Silverman. The words “pancakes” and “Roman cuisine” don’t often appear together, which is another reason why Danny Meyer’s Maialino stands out amongst its Manhattan peers. Here, thick, custardy batter is crisped to perfection and generously dolloped with fresh sheep’s milk ricotta and seasonal fruit or jam to create one of the most surprising (and delicious) dishes in all of New York City."
"The ricotta pancakes at this Danny Meyer-run, parent-perfect Roman restaurant in the Gramercy Park Hotel put other iterations of the dish to shame. Here, the duo of thick, hefty pancakes are filled with creamy fresh sheep’s-milk cheese from DiPalo’s that contrasts with the crispy exterior. They’re served with seasonal fruit or jam and syrup."
"Marrying leisurely European elan with on-the-go NYC chic, Il Buco has held court in NoHo for more than 20 years. And it hasn't achieved that staying power through Instagram — although the fact that owner Donna Lennard is also a taste-making art collector certainly doesn't hurt. It's that this place is simply indispensable to the neighborhood, whether for a romantic supper of egg tagliatelle with lobster mushrooms and expertly executed negronis at the original location, or a leisurely lunch of baked-on-premises bread and housemade salumi at its sister restaurant Il Buco Alimentari e Vineria."
"Housed in a former antique shop, you’ll know right away that Il Buco is the place for a romantic night out, thanks to the flattering lighting and the sense of history. The restaurant has a serious wine list and a menu that changes daily and is full of pleasant surprises. Dishes like oven poached filet of Atlantic cod with Umbrian risina beans, artichokes and salsa verde, or house-made spaghetti with tuna, Calabrian chili, and fennel pollen have been big winners in the past."
"A few years ago, I had been to a restaurant in Bronx's Little Italy after going to the Bronx Zoo, and the experience was just mediocre. I went back this…”more. Offers takeout and delivery"
"Put your hungry self in the capable hands of Roberto Paciullo, a Salerno native who runs a no-frills eatery in the Bronx’s venerable Italian enclave. Grab a seat at one of the wooden tables, and let Paciullo create a proper four-course feast from the blackboard specials. Tasty, tentacle-heavy grilled calamari has the meaty consistency of steak; tinfoil-baked radiatore come bathed in a vibrant red sauce or olive oil; and short ribs shine in a rich chili-pepper-and-beer sauce."
"Roberto Paciullo opened up his namesake restaurant almost twenty years ago. Since that it has become a neighborhood favorite and a destination for those visiting the area known as Arthur Read more..."
"The menus at Eagle City in Clinton Hill, Asian Taste in South Slope, Taste Yummy 吃货吧 in Sunset Park, Dumplings and Things in Park Slope, and Chap a Nosh in Midwood are said to include vegetarian options."
"Some of the sandwiches served are the Chana Masala, the Veggie Mashup, and the Smorgasburg Sweet Potato. Wraps include the Organic Quinoa and the Kale and Sweet Potato Wrap. They also serve bowls including French Lentils."
"On a mission to “make good ice cream that makes you feel good,” Van Leeuwen has been making us salivate since 2008 when they started serving some of the best ice cream in Brooklyn. We recommend their Honeycomb which is actually made with caramel candy rather than honey. It’s perfect for those times when you feel like a simple sweet flavor but you want something slightly more complex than vanilla."
"For those who consider ice cream one of the staples and best things to do in Brooklyn, this again is for you!. Discover the world of artisan ice cream through Van Leeuwen. Started in a yellow ice cream truck that used to drive around NYC, this New York creamery makes all their ice cream from scratch in Greenpoint, Brooklyn."
"Serving a full menu of our vegan and classic ice creams, housemade vegan chocolate chip cookies, sundaes and milkshakes along with coffee and tea."
"BushwickKCBG sits inside a warehouse in Bushwick like all good things do, and, wow, are they making good things. A few years ago this spot was named the best brewery in all five boroughs in a city-wide competition hosted by Thrillist, and since then they’ve continued churning out a wide array of unique beers. Plus, the “collective” in their name isn’t just hipster lip service -- one of the draft lines in their taproom is exclusively reserved as a “Local Talent Tap” for beer brewed in collaboration with nearby industry friends.How to order: Stop by the brewery for pickup or get delivery via Caviar"
"A restaurant manager, an advertising executive, and a molecular biologist walk into a bar. It sounds like the punchline to a joke, but it’s the founding story behind this Bushwick brewery and taproom, which comes from three home brewers. Kings County Brewers Collective — abbreviated on its cans as KCBC — is serving several of its own standout beers on draft, plus a couple of pours from local breweries."
"Kings County Brewers Collective was established by 3 experienced brewers and focuses on bringing the community together with a variety of high-quality beer. Many of their beers boast fun, themed names and comic book-inspired can art. Try interesting varieties like the Superhero Sidekicks IPA, The Fellowship Of The Bling barleywine, or the Marble of Doom sour."
