Leonardo Urbina: The caramel toffee dessert was awesome. The chili dog only available at happy hour was more satisfying than the burger to be honest. The burger isn't bad but just a lot of hype in my opinion.
Ruthie Edwards: Fantastic steaks, burgers, and beef tartare. I loved the bluefish dip with a gin and house-made tonic.
Omnominations: Excellent quality meats, and overall delicious food

David Kaplan: This is one of the best places to buy one of the best-tasting spirits, Sorel. Great whiskey and local (Long Island/North Fork) wines.
estheribrown ✌🏻: The staff here are super friendly and helpful - they're happy to make recommendations and I've never had a miss w/one. Love the $12 and under table and the free wine tastings & classes. Great shop.
Scott Flaherty: I'm no connoisseur (tend to pick wine by the design on the label), but it seems like they keep the cheaper stuff on a table in the middle, and in general have a great selection.
Kiki Jackson: FDNY and Williamsburg Bridge sandwiches are the way to go, although I have never had a bad sandwich there, and I’ve tried a lot! The mozzarella is made fresh daily by the owner, delicious!
Sabino Curcio: Great sandwhiches and the best coffee !
Antonio C: FDNY best sandwich around !

Falcon Elizabeth: The sticky date bread pudding with toffee caramel sauce is melt in your mouth deliciousness!!! I wish I had some right now! I need it to go on...can't go on...need sticky date bread pudding..
Capo Di Capo: Sankkerimatkat approves this place. Excellent atmosphere even during early lunch. Hip & warm interior. Great service, friendly and smiling waitresses. Amazing kale salad. Hard rock from vinyl.

Fried Chicken Joint · Williamsburg · 553 tips and reviews
Food Network: Guy loved the savory buckwheat waffles and fried chicken, which were light and crisp. He also devoured the addictive Pecan Crunch Donut coated with homemade toffee. Read more.
Pierina Ovalles: Amazing place, nice music and food and cool people :-)
Serious Eats: Crisp fried chicken, warm, fluffy biscuits, and tender doughnuts all at reasonable prices. Good for breakfast, too.
Lou D: Great rotating line of craft beers, sorted by distance from the bar. Food is also stellar. Try the burger, buffalo wings, rosemary or truffle fries. You won't be sorry.
Jon Turi: Try the spicy popcorn!
Cooper Smith: Ugh. They abandoned their jumbo wings and now serve the same ol' boring-size wings that you can get at 100 other places in the hood. I'm not mad, just disappointed.

Coffee Shop · South Slope · 74 tips and reviews
Hannah Nicdao: Best coffee in the neighborhood and hits my top 3 in NYC, where actual good coffee can be hard to come by (especially after having the best coffee in Australia for three years). EXCELLENT flat whites!
Serious Eats: This neighborhoody spot is often as quiet as a library on weekends, as Greenpointers and those vacationing to Brooklyn fill up the seats to quietly exist online...with cappuccinos.
The Corcoran Group: A true coffee bar with minimal seating and a strictly enforced no laptop rule. Perfect made-to-order coffee and rockstar baked goods.
