We had lunch at Veselka’s newest location in Williamsburg.

We found ourselves liberated from childcare one random weeknight and decided to check out the new Thai restaurant that had replaced what had been our favorite local taco joint. We found a stunningly transformed restaurant with eye-catching food.

Mable’s Smokehouse opened in 2011 on the latter end of the New York City barbecue revolution. The restaurant brings Oklahoma-style recipes to the city in a rustic saloon atmosphere, which is the perfect place for my three-year-old.

The place setting and menu at Leo

Leo serves of Neapolitan style pizza in Brooklyn, a trend thats more than two decades old.

The chicken biscuit has still got it

Pies -n- Thighs helped popularize fried chicken sandwiches in gentrified Brooklyn almost two decades ago. We stopped in for lunch to see how whether it still holds up.
