Brew York: Greenpoint has a new spot to get their growlers filled. Six well-curated craft beers are on tap here, even including a cider or two. Plus, don't miss the excellent meats and cheeses, too!
Tom Evans: Best selection of cheeses. Great place for sandwiches. All their products are high quality. Owners and staff are fantastic and very knowledgeable. A gem of a place!
Design*Sponge: Delicious sandwiches (try the ham sandwich), locally made treats and a well-curated beer selection. The cutting boards from local designers daskam & dworkis are a must see, too.

Cedric Alan Wooten: Seasoned Snow Crab Legs are the bomb. Either as an appetizer or a meal you can't go wrong.
Melanie Rodriguez: You must try their salmon burger with melted Swiss on a croissant with sweet potato fries. (When it's on the special menu)
Manuel Burgos: Great food, morning, afternoon, evening, and night. Major deals get done at this place so be sure to eavesdrop! You might be overhearing who the next mayor might be. No joke!
