The single best pick from every list, gathered in one place.
Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Because modern Williamsburg dining traces to this 1927 Kullman dining car, where the market-driven menu that debuted on New Year's Eve 1998 set off the Tarlow restaurant empire and the farm-to-table Brooklyn wave.
Order the The burger
The 10 best places to eat and drink in Williamsburg, from an 1887 steakhouse to the slice shop winning NYC's pizza argument. Every pick verified and ranked.
Because the dry-aged porterhouse arrives pre-sliced and sizzling in its own rendered fat, a tableside ritual the house has performed under the Williamsburg Bridge since 1887.
Because Missy Robbins won the James Beard Best Chef: NYC award cooking this menu, and the mafaldini with pink peppercorn has kept Resy slots evaporating since the room opened in 2016.
Because Massimo Laveglia's long-fermented dough stays crisp under a burrata slice good enough to spawn a West Village outpost while the 2017 original stays mobbed.
