i have to give another HUGE thumbs up for moim!
i sometimes forget about that place, even though i've really enjoyed it every time i've gone.
i hope they're doing well in that location... -
Bergenites wrote: Just wondering, LTT - your list is great, but mostly comprised of places that have been around for a while (with the exception of Barrio). Why not branch out and try a few new places? Or have you tried them and found them lacking?
Bergenites - My wife loves Nana and goes there with her friends, I work by the original Ghenet in Soho and go there a lot with my friends. I like Melt well enough and when I want a good burger I go there and to Bonnies. Have never been to the rest of your list. We used to go to Sette all the time when they first opened and Amanda Freitag was cooking there -haven't been back since she left 'cause the quality went way down. Have tried lots of others and crossed them off too - like Rice and T Thai.
I would add to your list:
Canaille
Alchemy
Melt
Nana
Tapeo
Ghenet
not all of these are new, but we've had consistently great food at all of them in the last year.
Also we order delivery a lot from Hunan Delight and pizza from La Villa. Since we both work in Manhattan we frequently meet up there after work and go to a favorite spot. So, when we eat out for dinner in PS we always stick with our list . If I could afford it I'd eat at the top five every week. -
I likes me some hearty food. Do not read this if you like bland, overpriced, undersized style food!
1. Song and Beet, great Thai food, Beet is a bit pricey, but very tasty.
2. Pizza Plus, Italian soul food, what Two Boots should be, but Italian food!
3. Johnny Macks. Great burgers and fries, and the wings are good too.
4. Java, get the platter for two and eat like a king.
5. Aunt Suzies, a different world, Italian food for families, not a park slope crowd, you get there and you think you are in another neighborhood. Again, if you like overpriced, small plates, la da Italian food, don't go here, this is the real deal and may shock you.
6. Elora's - so good, anything you get will come with meat, rice, beans, cheese and goodness.
7. Get on the R Train, go to Sunset Park, to Rico's Tacos, the best Mexican food I have ever had. Heck, 25 minute walk from the Slope. -
Rice Thai on 7th Ave near 9th St has a great menu. The decor is fine, nothing fancy.
But a substitute for Celebrate Brooklyn? Hhhhmmm...If I were going to make an event out of eating out, I would either leave Brooklyn and sit at Yakitori Taisho's bar and watch the chef bar-b-q squid kebabs =

or stay in Brooklyn and, for more excitement than any sane person would ever want, go here =

I like Aunt Suzies on 5th Ave near Carroll, but my foodie friends say Suzies serves cheap crap. When I go, the service is always good, the decor warm and inviting, and I never have a problem with the food.

Beet and its sibling Mango are good too. Both have nice staff and serve FRESH food. The decors are dark and modern. The food is not bland, but then again, I always ask them to spice it up.
Johnny Macks serves diner food. I go more for the ambiance -- it is a god place to kick back with a beer. Nice waitresses.
Where is Rico's Taco in Sunset Park? -
hanabi, at garfield & 7th: no question, it's the best japanese restaurant in the slope.. just try to get sushi that big anywhere else. and the dumplings are heavenly.
-
:P i suggest you try the villa on 5th avenue and carrol street i think! or 1st street! its delicious! and italian lol
-
'twas a beautiful night, so I went to Grab, got some cheese bits and went to the Ailey thing at the park. It was amazing.
Thanks for the suggestions! I will go to this list the next time we're restaurant bound. (And, will def. look up Rico's Tacos....mmmmm) -
Raw:
Rico's is on 50th (maybe 51st) and 5th avenue. There is a lot of kind of good Mexican food in Sunset Park, but Rico's is probably the best. I believe that there is a deli or two that serves Rico's Tacos. but go to the restaurant itself. The tortas (Mexican sandwiches) are out of this world, and, they serve Mexican coke (made with real sugar!). -
Are we just getting lucky or does it appear that DR has disappeared from this thread?
-
....in other words, there are a lot of good places to eat at in the Slope and Heights.

For sure.... yes!!
What place is someone's favorite is subjective but no kidding downtown Brooklyn (and beyond) has some really wonderful places to eat~!!! -
had a great time at ghenet the other night. the food was almost as delicious as i remember getting at abyssinia in manhattan years & years ago, the tej wine was just as potent and the wait-staff was gracious. all in all, a very nice place
-
We had a very nice dinner at Henry's End in BH a couple of weeks ago. The menu appears to be the result of a time warp, featuring lots of our favorite dishes from the 1970's, but everything the four of us ordered was delicious.
-
Henry's End has been there forever! I don't know if this still happens but it was the place to order some wild "specials" including boar, venison and lion.... no kidding!
-
Yes, they still offer wild game, but primarily in the fall and winter.
My wife and I recently (i.e. February) went a little further afield for wild game: winter carnival in the Old Town of Quebec City:http://www.lepatriarche.com/pages/ang_tablehote.php. Both the restaurant and the carnival were fantastic!
Howdy, Stranger!
