Recs from Fort Greeners!
Dear Fort Greeners,
I've just bought in the neighborhood and move in tomorrow. I am so excited to be living in such a lovely neighborhood. Would love to get neighborhood recommendations from those who live in or simply love Fort Greene:
Best restaurants?
Best cafes?
Best bet for fresh produce?
Best bars?
Best mom and pop shops?
Best cultural institutions in addition to BAM?
Best salons?
Anything else?
Thanks so much!

Scopello has one of the best short ribs I've ever had. It's on a bed of risotto. Also, their signature dessert is to die for. Can't remember what it's called but it's a baked pocket of creamy ricotta.

By best salons, do you mean hair salons?
