Truly, the best steak in the universe. SPLURGE on the axe-handle ribeye :) (But if you’re looking for a more affordable meal, they also have other cuts that won’t break the bank. )
Beware, they don't take reservations. Best to arrive right when they open or you might be in for a long wait. If you do have to wait, go next door to their beer bar, Spuyten Duyvil. They have an amazing and unique beer selection.

This is literally right across the street from us. If you love fish, their simple Japanese breakfast is like no other. They focus on local, sustainable seafood. In the evenings, they have some of the best ramen around. If uni is in season, get the uni ramen! They don’t take reservations, so best to go early.

Sal’s pizza is classic old-school, Italian Brooklyn. Great for a late-night slice. And their pasta is really good. (We recommend eggplant rollatini, shrimp & pesto, meat sauce.) Tell Mimo or Romeo you're staying in Alana & Ryan's airbnb.

Basically a really upscale falafel joint using good ingredients. The chicken shawarma plate is fantastic as is the crunchy kale salad.

Southern comfort food at its best. Make sure to get their fried chicken, the hot chicken biscuit, a slice of pie and a donut! If you go during brunch prime time, expect a long wait.

Great natural wine bar & restaurant. Very hard to get into, but if you go early you can at least sit at the bar. Make sure you get the bread. Owned by the frontman of LCD Sound System. so the restaurant soundtrack is good!

This upscale Middle Eastern restaurant in located on the Greenpoint waterfront. If you’re up for a walk and a little exploring, this is a great spot to visit. And the food is amazing. Along the way you can get a drink at Achilles heel or a coffee and treat at Ovenly bakery.

Our area of Williamsburg is actually an old Italian neighborhood. Bamonte’s is a classic, mafia-esque, old-school Italian American restaurant. Sinatra dined here. It’s the real deal. The food is pretty good, but it’s really the atmosphere you’re going for. You can also sit at the bar and have a martini and skip dinner.

The Greenpoint neighborhood is historically a Polish neighborhood. If you’re in the mood for Polish food, this is a great place to get pierogis, potato pancakes, borscht, and bigos stew.

This is the rooftop bar on top of the Wythe hotel. It has one of the best views of the city. Late it’s a bit of a scene and there’s actually a velvet rope to go in (especially on Thur/Fri/Sat). So best to go early and then stay for sunset.
