The restaurants in Williamsburg are way superior to any of the newer restaurants we’ve tried in Manhattan the last few years. From now on I’ll only agree to eat and pay for an expensive meal in Manhattan if it’s at a famous older landmark restaurant – that’s the only thing to go to Manhattan for. The best new chefs are in Brooklyn.
The Village Voice appears equally caught in a time warp — just the cheap counterpart to Mimi Sheraton’s Le Cirque. Peter Lugar’s and Junior’s? Insane. If they’re going to hold up Brooklyn as a Queens-like bastion of “ethnic” cuisine, rather than farm-to-table in ye quaint olde time gas-lit settings, why not Tanoreen or the Islands?
The whole world knows that so much talent comes out of Brooklyn. Clearly we’re doing things right!
The transients and haters only make our property values higher and our lines longer.
Fine. OK. Whatever.
Do we really care what they think? They still hold their noses when they ‘go slumming’ here, and, yet, they still keep coming. They just can’t seem to stay away– even when they are snarky about it–
I love Brooklyn, and choose to live here. It’s never dull! I travel often on business. It’s nice to travel; but it’s even better to ‘come on home’!
That was nice, but Peter Luger’s is an overpriced tourist ripoff, Junior’s is disgusting, and Jeffrey Steingarten has written in praise of Roberta’s and fried chicken at Popeye’s in Brooklyn.
she should try mimi’s hummus.
Yes, true, 11217.
Because if it’s your JOB to be a food critic, one should be following all of NYC and not just a few elite restaurants in Manhattan. Having a lack of curiosity about the entire city you live in should preclude one from having such a job or garnering any respect at said job.
How can I blame someone for being to lazy to come to Brooklyn when I’m too lazy to go to Manhattan?
