Coffee Shop · North Slope · 91 tips and reviews
Marc Lucas: excellent euro-style coffee stationin addition to the great coffee, try the pain au chocolat, hard boiled eggs & the fresh squeezed juice
Ed Podojil: Less regular than expected. Quiet, quaint, and great Italian coffee
Amanda P: Reasons why this place is awesome: 1) best iced coffee in NY- they use cold brew extract 2) Vogue and Elle mags 3) bourbon on the counter in case you need an extra kick 4) their playlist rocks.
Laura Kolarik: The Big Ragu rice balls are fantastic! And the Saturday Night Fever pizza is spicy and delicious.
Stephen Kline: Great food and a new music scene!
Holiday: Delicious food albeit on high calorie side - pizza, calzones, fries. A couple salad choices but would love to see baked chicken or grilled fish. Too much pizza already in neighborhood.

Breakfast Spot · Bay Ridge · 30 tips and reviews
Chris Heine: Greek omelette with gyro meat (gotta ask for it) is the bomb. Challah French toast rules, too. One of the best breakfast and lunch spots in Brooklyn.
Chad O'Connell: Order the Irish breakfast
Bella Kazanecki: Don't get turned off by diner-esque menu style. This place is serious about food. Get almond pancakes ask for a little extra of the almond drizzle and the fresh squeezed juice n avo toast!!So good

Taco Restaurant · East Williamsburg · 36 tips and reviews
Cristina F-M: the spicy pork tacos are my favorite, followed by chiles rellenos. go salsa verde over red salsa. the coca cola they sell is the legit sugary kind. fruit and veg sold here is the best in the hood.
Tim Vetter: Weird food club score: Get a quesadilla con huitlacoche aka Mexican truffle aka corn smut, not easy to find in NYC. $4. http://www.brooklyntheborough.com/2010/08/the-dish-uncovering-huitlacoche/
Time Out New York: Try the flor de calabaza quesadilla. Fresh masa is griddled, then topped with mounds of sautéed squash blossoms, cotija cheese, crema and lettuce. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more.
Jeff Forbes: Sandwiches are awesome, and cheap. Hard to beat a BEC on a roll for ~3.50
The Corcoran Group: Open 24hrs! Great sandwiches and the greatest guys behind the counter. Mo and Sammy are always there, always remember you and always put a smile on your face.
Jeff Forbes: Bacon Egg + Cheese for $3. Can't beat that.
eric bornemann: Perfect and cozy little place that on a cold winter night makes you feel you are far away from the city. Good wine selection as well.
The New Yorker: This cabinlike saloon, complete with a clapboard façade and Adirondack chairs out front, was “designed with two places in mind: Stowe, Vermont, and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.” Read more.
Gothamist: Ever-romantic Wine House is the fireplace bar to go to. The rustic, farmhouse-style wine bar lets you settle in with a glass ($6.50-$11) or bottle ($28-$45). So relax and enjoy the warmth. Read more.
