Brooklyn is suddenly awash with restaurants serving Thai cuisine. I recently ate dinner at one of the newest ones to open, Chiang Mai Diner. It was fun, tasty, but could have tried taking more risks.

I recently ate at this Queens-based barbecue restaurant known for smoking Kansas City-style meats.

We ate some small plates at Chino Grande, but didn’t sing karaoke.

Cuts & Slices in Brooklyn offers unique flavors inspired by Caribbean dishes. Since I visited last October, the lines have only gotten longer.

Fishmarket is a great place to grab a drink, but also find some delightful Malaysian inspired cuisine.
