Stone Park Cafe has stood on the corner of 3rd St and Fifth Avenue in Park Slope since 2004, churning out the type of American bistro food that feels comforting at any time of day, with a menu that changes frequently enough to warrant repeat visits.
Takeout: Rangoon offers takeout and delivery. If it’s your first time trying Burmese food, start with the classic tea leaf salad, which combines fermented Burmese tea leaves with tomato, cabbage, peppers, fried split peas, sesame seeds, and peanuts for a flavorful, textural combo that’s all its own.ĭining at the restaurant: Dining is available indoors and on the restaurant’s custom, semi-enclosed outdoor dining structure, clad in wave-like shutters that allow individual sides to be opened or shut in order to block wind while maintaining air flow. The restaurant’s chef-owner, Myo Moe, grew up in Myanmar and combines her lifelong knowledge of the country’s food with her experience in fine dining kitchens. Rangoon’s neighbors in Crown Heights are fortunate, not only because Burmese food is rare in New York City, but also because their local spot happens to serve some of the city’s best. Takeout: Glasserie offers takeout and delivery. Seven years later, Glasserie has gracefully transitioned from buzzy new restaurant to neighborhood standby, where locals know a single meal could start with a straightforward order of silky labneh spread and grilled bread, then be followed by an unexpected preparation such as tuna confit tagine.ĭining at the restaurant: Glasserie serves dinner and brunch indoors and on the restaurant’s chic outdoor patio, with heaters for cooler evenings. Housed in an old glass factory just a block from the neighborhood’s waterfront, it was part of the first wave of ambitious openings in the neighborhood as restaurateurs began pushing north from hip Williamsburg.
Greenpoint favorite Glasserie gained national attention upon opening in 2013 for the restaurant’s modern twists on Mediterranean cooking.
These are the comforting spots - some well-regarded, some off the radar, some fancy, some casual - that keep New Yorkers calling for takeout, returning for sidewalk tables and, in some not-so-distant-future, packing into dining rooms again and again.įrom Washington Heights to Rockaway Beach, meet NYC’s local favorites. But some places are so special that they warrant a repeat visit. From MICHELIN-starred destination restaurants to tiny stalls serving obscure regional dishes, one could eat out everyday for years and never return to the same restaurant. Dining in New York City can feel overwhelming in the best way possible.
