Nate Folkert: signature BPH burger with bacon mayo, arugula, bacon relish, and french fries
Mari: The house burger is fantastic. How could it not be with bacon relish? Also the bangers and mash is super authentic and delicious.
Marty Allen: This joint is swell, and it's easily the best darn burger in a many-blocked radius. Solid draft list with good daily specials. Good bar.

Cocktail Bar · Carroll Gardens · 70 tips and reviews
Josh R: Have a Brooklyn or just an Old Overholt Old Fashion, set back and relish in great conversation with friends at this spot.
Jon Shea: $10 cocktails? It’s like they’re giving them away.
Danny Hillman: One "Ginger Old Fashion" and you feel like Dean Martin on Christmas Eve. If you come thru late night drunk & order a "Brooklyn" you might lose your phone and wallet getting home. Great cocktail bar.

Hot Dog Joint · Coney Island · 357 tips and reviews
Aimee C: hot dog with ketchup, mustard, and relish and a lemonade!
Rachel Mercer: Classic Hotdog with Mustard, Ketchup, and Relish and you're good to go. Don't forget some of the crinkle cut fries. If the seating area is too full, there's some shaded seating in the amusement park.
Sibely N. K.: Hot dog heaven!!! Mustard and relish... Perfect 💗

Thrillist: Get full on sharp cheddar mac and basik dogs (half sour relish, white onion & celery salt). Get boozed on original 'tails like the tequila/Punt e Mes/Velvet Falernum Mea Culpa. Read more.
Hogan Shrum: Easily one of the best bars in Williamsburg. Can hangout here for hours and the patio (weather permitting) is amazing. They do everything right!

Mexican Restaurant · South Slope · 133 tips and reviews
Tania Lili: Try the Chilaquiles En Salsa Verde
The Corcoran Group: In our opinion, the best Mexican in Brooklyn. The shrimp and scallop enchiladas are perfect, and the pork adobo is a must-order dish as well. Awesome happy hour specials too!
Vanessa V.: Do yourself a favor and go to Fonda for brunch. Holy guacamole. Try the rancheros divorciados and ask them to scramble your eggs. And don't forget to ask for extra tortillas for your beans and guac!

Thai Restaurant · Kensington · 18 tips and reviews
Russell Levine: House special pad Thai is tasty with shrimp and calamari. Hot and sour noodle soup is delicious and spicy. And massaman lamb shank is a little greasy, but good. Overpriced for the area, but worth it.
Dylan McKenzie: Nice people and delicious food.
Michael Rose: Extraordinary flavors from a tiny open kitchen. Prepare for long waits.

1302 8th Ave (at 13th St.), Brooklyn, NY
Italian Restaurant · South Slope · 55 tips and reviews
Evie: Some of the best Italian you will have in New York. Start with the beet salad (with arugula, orange and fennel) and get the cavatelli and lasagna. That's what we did and it was amazing.
Katherine Tasheff: eat. drink. be happy.
Luna Putzulu aka "luna matto": Love love love Provini. Off the beaten path, for Park Slope. The Homemade cheesecake will slay you. I've spent too many hours on the patio with too many bottles of wine, but that's okay.
