Greek |
$$ |
Bay Ridge |
|
 This handsome restaurant focuses on the Greek community of Istanbul, turning out food that’s Mediterranean fusion, par excellence, with more conventional Greek food (emphasizing meat over fish) thrown in for good measure. The rooster stew is superlative, a tough bird turned tender in savory... More>> |

Park Slope |
|
 Nominally Venetian, this Park Slope fave branches out into the cooking of Liguria, Emilia-Romagna, and Tuscany, always with an eye for quirky recipes and little-known wines. Ravioli stuffed with beets? Whipped salt cod with grilled polenta? Al Di La satisfies a taste for the earthy, the oily,... More>> |

Bedford Stuyvesant |

 There's a line out the door at this popular roti shack, where the marquee invites "Hurry, Hurry, Come for Curry." Of the rotis, our fave is conch—a plenitude of tender gastropod vying with potato for domination of the brown, thyme-inflected gravy. Or pick from curries of shrimp, goat,... More>> |

Bay Ridge |
|
 The chicken shawarma sandwich is the best in town—fresh cut from the homemade rotating cylinder, jammed in a pocketless pita with lettuce, tomatoes, sumac-dusted onions, and a powerful garlic sauce. With the surprise addition of split cornichons, it's then rolled in butcher paper and zapped... More>> |

Thai |

Brooklyn |
|
 As the name implies, the place really is just a kitchen, with a single table inside and another outside. Nevertheless, the Thai food is splendid, favoring the fare of Bangkok and the southern peninsula. This food tends to be rich in coconut milk, and most of the recommended curries are laced... More>> |

Brooklyn |

 Sim-Sim is one of New York’s rare Azerbaijani cafes, and just in case you’ve forgotten, Azerbaijan is an oil-rich former-Soviet republic in the Caucasus Mountains, a region sandwiched between Georgia and Iran. There are excellent charcoal-grilled kebabs, of course, of which our... More>> |

Italian |
$$$ |
Brooklyn |
|
 This wonderful Italian restaurant extends our pasta frontiers by making gnocchi with polenta, rather than the usual potatoes, semolina, or bread crumbs, then saturates them with a scrumptious rabbit ragu, shot with black peppercorns like punctuation in a lengthy paragraph. The beet-dyed potato... More>> |

 "Bajan" is what Barbados islanders like to be called, and this one-table café is the perfect showcase for their playful and delectable cuisine, which combines African and English elements. A centerpiece on the menu is flying fish and cou-couaan okra-laced cornmeal porridge with an African... More>> |

Bensonhurst |

 While Bamboo Pavilion is not the spiciest Sichuan restaurant in town, or the smallest (both distinctions belong to Flushing stalls), it is the place that has carried the cuisine to its highest pinnacle. The deeply bronzed tea-smoked duck is beyond compare; the whole fish in spicy bean sauce the... More>> |

Brooklyn |

 Bozu has boldly shouldered the task of being a sushi innovator, remaking maki rolls (try salmon drenched in raw garlic), but more importantly, inventing athe bomba—sweet vinegared rice fashioned into buttons topped with fish, further surmounted with a variety of crunchy, smeary, branchy...

 As indicated by the 10-foot-tall pot teetering on the roof, this cozy restaurant specializes in crock-baked Ukrainian specialties, including braised lamb shank, and forgoes the compulsory Casio charges and bottles of vodka frozen in blocks of ice. More>> |

 One of the city's rare Barbadian cafés, Cock's offers the full range of Bajan culinary delicacies, from the signature flying fish with cou cou (a sculpted mass of cornmeal porridge with fried fish in a zippy gravy) to puddina and souse (the former a cross between haggis and blood sausage...

Colandrea New Corner |

Italian |
$$$ |
Brooklyn |
|
 Founded in 1939, and obscurely located, Colandrea New Corner is a Dyker Heights institution, a red-sauced place espousing the ideals of Italian-American cuisine. That means you should probably eschew the higher-end entrees of veal and chicken (often layered with cheese and prosciutto) in favor... More>> |

Successor to Park Slope’s Corn Bread Café, this modern diner was founded in Flatbush by North Carolinians, and the best items on the menu often highlight that heritage. There’s an amazing chicken and dumplings – tender pieces of skin-on chicken in a saline broth with small... More>> |

 And you thought one Sardinian wine bar was enough? D.O.C.—the letters indicate controlled production zones of products like Chianti and Parmesan—is situated in a Williamsburg backwater, and its warm interior might be mistaken for a chalet. Wine is king, the rudimentary snacks obedient... More>> |

Red Hook |
|
 This over 80 year old dispenser of heros, hidden deep inside Red Hook, concocted its own take on the Italo-Kings County roast-beef hero. Called Nick's Special, it marries meat, mozzarella, and fried eggplant with a fiery vegetable relish that may be ordered separately as a salad. Scrumptious! More>> |

 Domenico DeMarco has been elevated to sainthood by the city's favorite foodie website (chowhound.com), and devotees dote on his every move as he fiddles with each pie, shaking on cheeses and artistically arranging the elements.

This splendid new fast food spot in Williamsburg specializes in doner, aka schwarma or gyro, and two varieties spin in the window’s upright rotisseries: chicken and lamb. Paradoxically, the chicken is better, big jagged pieces stuck together with spices, delivering the merest burn to the lips.... More>> |

Like a traveler lost in the vast Pampas of Argentina, El Almacen ("the General Store") is trying hard to find its way. It began initially with a menu of half non-grilled Argentine fare, half Mexican food. From there it migrated into ceviches and grilled meats, the latter quite fantastic. Served... More>> |

 Poised above the point on Atlantic Avenue where the LIRR zooms out of the ground and soars into the sky, this new spot boasts both Bajan (Barbadian) and Guyanese cooks, making for a pleasing menu of inter-island food. Of course, the goat curry is above reproach, a pleasing chocolate brown color... More>> |

 Nearly a century old, this antique focacceria is proof that Sicilians landed in Brooklyn at the same time as Neapolitans; a potbellied stove is still the center of attention.

 The name means "fat pig" in German, and this barbecue takes its inspiration from the ancient German-market barbecues of Central Texas.
