Citysearch's Justin Hartung calls Tempo "a Park Slope interpretation of a Barcelona restaurant--white stucco walls, square panels colored in soothing desert-accented hues of yellows, greens and browns, a tin ceiling shining with polish, and curtained windows in the back offering just a peek of greenery." "The cuisine's strong pan-Italian backbone borrows heavily from Spain, France, Greece, and Morocco," says Andrew Sessa of New York... Read More >

"This spinoff of Manhattan's Chocolate Bar incorporates a modern lodge aesthetic. The walls are paneled with light wood and painted a rich brown. White subway tiles get orange grout, and a trippy deer-inspired 'mirror' and brilliant chandelier frame the counter teaming with freshly baked goods," says Citysearch's Erin Behan. "Baked aspires to be a cozy neighborhood hangout, furnishing residents and intrepid day-trippers alike with... Read More >

"Chef-owner Rawia Bishara benevolently reigns over a modestly appointed dining room and open kitchen, supplementing exceptional renditions of traditional Middle Eastern cuisine with her own creative riffs on a Mediterranean-flavored theme," says New York magazine, which named Tanoreen the city's #1 cheap eats spot in 2006. Tanoreen's extensive menu can be hard to navigate, but Edible Brooklyn's Laura Stanley shares a few recommendations: "Instead... Read More >

The Chocolate Room was recently named the 2009 Best Dessert Cafe in New York by Zagat. Chowhound shivohum belives the hype: "The brownie, which was warm and light, seemed an ethereal expression of chocolate that melded perfectly with the denser hot fudge beneath it, the cool refreshing vanilla ice cream above it, and the crowning, luscious whipped cream and chocolate shavings on top.

"Nana fills two storefronts, with a bar on one side and dining room on the other, decorated in what owner Eric Ong calls 'modern industrial'—exposed brick walls, lights embedded in the polished concrete floor, and lime-colored tile along the open kitchen," our own Lisa Selin Davis wrote for New York magazine. Time Out New York explains that "nana" is the Japanese word for the... Read More >

The New Yorker notes that Quercy's storefront at 242 Court Street was a long-time "cursed address" before this French restaurant's arrival: "The restless, this-plus-that fusion of previous tenants gives way to a well-practiced... Read More >
