Eater: Starting every day at noon, a small menu of burgers — including a veggie burger made with black beans and mushroom — dairy dips, and waffle fries are available to eat al fresco. Read more.
Sean Stenstrom: Mr. Dips is in a hidden park up a set of stairs beneath the William Vale Hotel. The park feels like a mini High Line, and it’s one of the best kept secrets of Williamsburg. (The Infatuation)
John Vaghi: Great views of the building in front of it...

Peter Scordo: Some of the best al fresco dining in NYC. Generously portioned guacamole for the value. Freshly made chips too!
BK: Love this place. Great drinks/atmosphere. Awesome marguerite selection. 👌🏽
Time Out New York: This lively eatery pulls in Brooklynites looking for both homey abuela standbys (rich, cilantro-nipped guac; fragrant pozole verde) and palate-expanding fare (tongue tacos, duck-leg tamales). Read more.

Mexican Restaurant · Crown Heights · 291 tips and reviews
Kimmie Ohh: Get the chile relleno (roasted poblano pepper stuffed with queso fresco, served in tomato sauces with rice & beans) or chicken mole.
Justin Welsh: Delicious, fresh and simple Mexican. Order the chili relleno it's amazing! Also, tap sangria is awesome.
Mark H: I usually say, see for yourself. Screw that! you need to go, be impregnated by the most delicious food baby you can dream of, and let the night (or afternoon) slip away with a pitcher of margarita

Basketball Stadium · Prospect Heights · 537 tips and reviews
Brooklyn Nets: Fresco by Scotto (Main Concourse) keeps their Sunday Meatball Slider on the menu all week. Tuscan Chicken, shaved Pecorino, mom's gravy, and a brioche bun — it goes down easy, like Sunday morning.
Sal Cappi: Best meatballs at Frescos. Have your cocktails before you get here!
Arnaud Réauté: Great sports complex to watch hockey and basketball. Brand new and lots of great food treats.
Alex Guzman: All you can eat Moules-frites on Wed! Slamming dessert, great wine list, beautiful dinning al fresco, amazing burgers & cafe next door. Steak special was too fatty 4 me. Le "sigh". Servers are great.
ben van alboom: Nice mussels place with a really nice garden.
micah craig: Sacrebleu, the service here is so comically poor it's like a Monty Python skit about a French cafe, but the garden is lovely and the Croque Madame is excellent.

Aleksey: One of the best Mexican restaurants ever! Their food is extremely good and creative, flavors are rich (although not as spicy as in Mexico), and their service is impeccable.
Allan Lopez: Strong margs, tacos and huevos rancheros are good. Don’t get the breakfast quesadilla, it’s extremely tiny.
Luana Pomponet: Lamb ribs and roasted mushrooms were to die for.

Angela: Chiller, roomier, and prettier than the wburg location. Monzese pizza was delicious and for the adventurous, the Vongole was fantastic.
Amanda C: A happy welcome to the neighborhood. No need to compare to Paulie Gee's - both pizza shops are great and have different (inviting) vibes. Highly recommend the Spinach pizza, it's truly delicious.
Jamie Wolfe: Fornino won my heart when we accidentally knocked our pizza on the floor and they immediately replaced it. 👌🙌👍 all around!
