"Husband-and-wife team Bryan Calvert and Deborah Williamson have created a resolutely New American eatery kitted out with white-brick walls, wide... Read More >

What draws so many regular customers to this neighborhood Japanese joint is its affordable sushi and it's welcoming spirit: "Maybe it's the wonderfully friendly waitresses that welcome you and bid you goodnight one by one or the graffiti and marker covered walls showing the history of the place," says AlwaysEating.

Back in 2000, New York magazine named Christie's home of the best Jamaican patty in the city — and this no-frills eatery remains a go-to spot for delicious and filling cheap eats. For those who aren't familiar, their patties are large, flaky, yellow pastries stuffed with beef, chicken, or vegetables.

"Aside from a few artfully displayed farm implements and staid portraits, the long, high-ceilinged space is more urban chic than country quaint," say New York magazine's Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld of Flatbush Farm.
