1. Glady's
788 Franklin Ave (at Lincoln Pl.), Brooklyn, NY
Caribbean Restaurant · Crown Heights · 147 tips and reviews
Bin Yang: Tough call between jerk pork and chicken (pork wins cause you're getting more meat). Super rich and fluffy coconut rice and peas. Crisp, sweet, and slightly charred plantains. FREE coconut ice cream!
The New Yorker: “Glady’s…seems determined to do for the sandwich what Franny’s helped to do for pizza, elevating it from pedestrian fast food to something worth sitting down and waiting for.” Read more.
Jacky Alciné: If you're looking for Carribbean food, don't come here. It's like the Chiptole of Mexican food. Unauthentic, a pale imitation of true Carribbean food. Not even their jerk chicken is real.

Village Voice: With pineapple Jarritos, coconut sorbet, and Flor de Caña Silver rum, Nitehawk Cinema's piña colada float is pure vegan indulgence. Read more.
Peter Gerard: Well curated cinema with at-seat service. Excellent popcorn with real butter, well-made cocktails, good food. Most screenings sell out, so I recommend booking ahead.
Concert Ticket Agency: Dinner? Movie? or a show? Stop here first, grab some grub, watch a cool indie flick, then see a show at nearby Music Hall of Williamsburg. Beer! Pork Buns! Popcorn! oh my!

Ice Cream Parlor · Bedford-Stuyvesant · 13 tips and reviews
Michelle Wendy: Widest selection of frozen vegan treats I've seen- coffee royal and caramel fudge swirl are "you won't believe it's vegan" good. Add extra hot chocolate sauce and go straight to heaven.
Rhea H: Good non dairy kosher ice cream!
Kole hansen: Get fresh juice, i recommend apple, beet, celery, ginger! Dairy free, real fruit sorbet! Clean and bright with a party room.

American Restaurant · DUMBO · 96 tips and reviews
nikki austin: Oysters were good, great price during happy hour! We also got the applewood potato bread, so delicious.
The New Yorker: "Many of the dishes are downright heavy, oddly wintery for an end-of-summer meal by the water. Which is not to say that the results aren’t frequently, even disconcertingly, satisfying." Read more.
Serious Eats: Food from French-born chef Laurent Kalkotour, cocktails designed by PDT alum Payman Bahmani.
Yasin O: Great food, good location, nice atmosphere, sincere.. Try the Inegol Kofte, Cheese Gözleme and make sure to order Turkish Tea afterwards. Open late till 2am. Highly Recommended
Real Cheap Eats: "Kumpir ($8.17) is a baked potato that's as large as a small child’s head and topped with ketchup and mayo. Take it from the menu, which literally reads, “YOU SHOULD TASTE THIS, once in your life.” Read more.
Svitlana Petrenko: I live their Turkish tea and shepherd salad topped with feta cheese. Nice atmosphere too!

Sam H: Bring your own vodka, dancing and lots of Russian food. It's an experience.
