Bushwick Rising

Northeast Kingdom's welcoming signage

According to the Daily News, Bushwick is drawing new residents from the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Ecuador, Pakistan, Egypt, and Trinidad (along with some white kids who've been priced out of Williamsburg). The neighborhood diversity is spilling into the local restaurant scene. We've been out for drinks Bushwick Country Club (in the company of said white kids who've been priced out of Williamsburg), but we haven't tried any of the restaurants listed in the article — are the Northeast Kingdom, Tacos La Hacienda, or Lyn and Sam's West Indian Restaurant worth a trip?

The Northeast Kingdom is my all time favorite restaurant. The prices are rdecent, the food is a culinarily artistic take on classic northeast food, it takes like you except it to, yet it has that something extra, and the decor is comforting and endearing, like being in your grandfather's den. I have never been disappointed there. Sometimes the service is a little slow, but it's reminiscent of the slower pace of the northeast. I have never felt so at home at a restaurant before the Northeast Kingdom.

My wife and I tried NE Kingdom last weekend. While it was good (especially the service), the menu was a bit limited. Still, it is nice to have a restaurant in that area that caters to hipsters.

The Bushwick Country Club, at 618 Grand Street, between Leonard and Lorimer, is actually in Williamsburg. Bushwick begins on Flushing Avenue.

Thanks for the info. I wonder if the owners don't know what neighborhood they're in -- or they just didn't think "Williamsburg Country Club" had as nice a ring to it.

Actually, alot of people think that the eastern end of Williamsburg, west of Flushing Avenue, is actually Bushwick. Neighborhood landmarks, like the Bushwick Public Housing Projects, which are also in Williamsburg, don't help with the confusion.

Some of the confusion is because Bushwick Avenue runs right through eastern Williamsburg and is a major route...

I totally agree about NE Kingdom - it is a nice room and run by nice people, but the menu is extremely limited and is definitely much better suited to winter than summer. It is of course basically the only option around for that kind of Dumont-like joint - Life Cafe is great but more like bar food.

Has anyone been to the Taco joint in the warehouse on Starr/Wyckoff?

Only went to NE Kingdom once, but we were rather unimpressed. The "lodge' setting feels unauthentic; a cheap Home Depot job. Which I realize shouldn't color my opinion too much, but it's kind of a 'thing' with me- I go into stores and critique their display cabinets, that sort of thing. Whatever.
The menu was pretty limited, service was extremely friendly, food was good but not great. All told, a novel experience but not one we've chosen to repeat.

Northeast Kingdom is far better than most places in Wburg. The food is excellent, and we like the pared down menu: places that have too much on their menu usually just suck at everything instead of excelling at a few things. But I couldn't disagree more about the decor comment above - the place is filled with personal touches and neat things like a little deer scene in a box by the bathroom. Never seen one-a-those at the Home Depot near me.
