(Little neighborhood spots and holes-in-the-wall are welcome — we’d like to cover all of the borough’s quality mom-and-pop shops that citywide publications may have overlooked.)

“Are we just naming restaurants that exist in our neighborhood now”
Well I think people are typically more familiar with restaurants in their own neighborhoods
And for the restaurant review section to be useful, I think a collection of well known good and bad restaurants are necessary. Many of the places I listed are very popular but the food is substandard. Seeing the review of a crappy, overhyped restaurant on brownstoner may save someone from williamsburg a trip to park slope, or vice versa.
Are we just naming restaurants that exist in our neighborhood now? Not to be Mr. Negative about other people’s posts, but Mitchell’s was very disappointing. I went there when it first opened. They have an amazing space, but the service was slow and the burger I got tasted like deli burger. You know, the stuff that sits in the front of the store with the cold cuts and is drenched in some special sauce?
There should also be a most disappoiting restaurant of the week post. j/k
For the most part, all of the restaurants that I’ve been to that have been listed are excellent.
At Walter Foods I had a dozen oysters on the half shell, the bass and my date had the lobster. Then I drank no less then 5 properly made sazerac cocktails.
All very, very good. I’m always skeptical when it comes to places in our neighborhood as i feel the food quite often comes secondary to the “scene”, but walter foods really blew me away.
I have friends out on the Dekalb L stop in “ridgewick” and frequently go out to NEK on sundays for brunch. we usually sit there from noon to 5pm when they close out the brunch tabs, then head over to the wreck room for some evening drinking. NEK is really, really good. Love the baked eggs.
Abistro on Carlton in Fort Greene.
bristen’s on franklin
Dirty Hipster, what did you have at Walter Foods? Was it good? I had lobster and fried chicken, all very good.
Also, curious: So does this mean people from Williamsburg come all the way out to NEK? We are there twice a week but we also frequently eat out in Williamsburg.
