Nate Folkert: tilapia sandwich with mesclun greens and house-made tartar sauce
Jesse Lane: Small, neighborhood sandwich shop in Windsor Terrace. Pork shoulder sandwich (with prosciutto, fontina cheese and sweet gherkins) is a must for any first timer.
Real Cheap Eats: Try the rotisserie chicken. "Dressed with lemon, garlic, herbs and spices, then roasted perfectly, it’s just the kind of chicken dinner you’d put on the table if you had the time." Read more.

Emily W: Great food! Best homemade tartar sauce. Really generous portions. Communal seating and be prepared to wait for a table though.
Susannah Gruder: A heavenly neighborhood spot. Plenty of room to sit and enjoy some mussels & fries (food epiphany) on weeknights, weekends are crowded & fun. Amazing tap selection - try the Green Flash.
Serious Eats: Beer is the main event here but you'd be making a mistake to overlook the food menu: great burgers and sandwiches and really good wings among other things. It's all good.

Jean Hannah: Do not tell anyone about this place -- its obscurity is integral to its charm, along with the phenomenal pizza (the small is more than enough for 2 to share). Lovely staff, too.
Ava: Grandma slice with extra pepperoni!
Marika H: The grandma slices are amazing! If your drinking, try any one of the Bellinis.

Emily Wilson: Great place to celebrate a birthday with a group. Be sure to let them know and they'll make it fun. The tableside guac is seriously good and they'll do all kinds of pitchers of margs (frozen or not).
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.
