Food Scene

Great pub fare with a British flair. Selection of beers is impressive. At the bar or at a table you are guaranteed good service and good food in a hip, but not too trendy restaurant.

A cute, Latin-inspired coffee shop that has expanded into beer + wine service. The sandwiches are HUGE with salad or fries to match. Try the baked eggs for an interesting new take for breakfast.

The first South African restaurant in NYC. It's a multi-racial mix of colorful characters from all over the world, particularly from Southern Africa. Have the prawns peri-peri and the malva pudding.

Every single dish in this pan-Latino restaurant is a gem. Have a 3 or 4 course meal; it's worth the price. Flavor pairings are inspired, and the bartender packs a punch with sangria and mojitos.

Hands down the best food in Fort Greene. Their Senegalese-French fusion can hold its own against any fine dining in Manhattan. Bring your own wine and try the Senegalese fried chicken.

A staple in our house. Food is always fresh and the sauces are clearly made from scratch (no corn syrup or MSG!). Try their new bar + lounge across the street. Or if you want to stay in, they deliver.

What self respecting Brit doesn't eat Indian? Great for take out, which we have weekly. And even okay for dining in. Try the salmon curry or lamb dansak.
