Cocktail bar · Crown Heights · 29 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Small space with a cool vibe. Leave your inhibitions at home and order a tropical cocktail. Or, ask the bartender to make you a proper Aviation, with gin and crème de violette.
781 Franklin Ave (btwn St Johns & Lincoln Pl), Brooklyn, NY
Pizzeria · Crown Heights · 227 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Oh my goodness. This is good pizza. Best pizza in the neighborhood, even. Start with the excellent margherita and explore the menu from there.
Cole Kennedy: The bar has a killer soundtrack. Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, etc. Get a draft beer, let the music give you some mojo, and make new friends.

Cole Kennedy: Tally up another tip for the Hellboy. I wasn't sure about honey on a pizza, but it's one of the best slices I've ever had. Mike's Hot Honey perfectly complements the soppressata.
Locale con specialità pollo fritto · Bedford-Stuyvesant · 250 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Look, I love spicy. And I love Nashville fried chicken. But I've never tasted anything spicier than the extra hot chicken here. If you're not sure, start with the hot chicken.
Ristorante italiano · Crown Heights · 96 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Homemade pasta plus homemade sauce equals ecstasy. I picked pappardelle with pomodoro (and a bottle of Pinot Noir, of course) but you can't make a mistake here.
Ristorante di ramen · Prospect Heights · 389 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Yo, this ramen is spectacular, but first you need to order a Japanese IPA and snack on the spicy crispy Brussels sprouts. (And then get the miso ramen).
Birrificio · Boerum Hill · 184 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Ugh this place is so idyllic. Even in the winter, the backyard rules (heated tent). The perfect spot for day drinking their awesome craft beer and eating their munchies.
Coffee-shop · Bedford-Stuyvesant · 72 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: This place is adorable. Idyllic. Maybe even perfect. Counter Culture coffee & the mind-blowing avocado smash are keys to a leisurely weekend breakfast.
Bar Caffè · Williamsburg · 174 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Pretty sure this is the epicenter of the 'Williamsburg cool kid' scene. Coffee shop by day, lounge and club by night, awesome all the time.
Coffee-shop · Williamsburg · 241 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: The absolute encapsulation of every design trend right now. And that's a good thing. That said, this isn't an every day café, unless you really like blowing cash.
Pizzeria · Bedford-Stuyvesant · 208 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Delicious & fresh food, but a bit pricey considering it's cash only. The Marinara pizza with anchovies & black olives was great, but very salty.
Wine bar · Williamsburg · 30 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Lovely little wine bar, perfect for afternoon sipping with the windows open or a cozy evening date. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable — take a chance on their recommendation for orange wine.
Nuovo ristorante americano · Prospect Heights · 110 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Dreamy, delightful meal. Their take on crab rangoons and deviled eggs are perfect, but you should try a range of everything. Make a reservation a few weeks in advance and plan a little double date.
Ristorante di pesce · Boerum Hill · 93 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Come through during happy hour for dollar oysters. They have super unique sauces that come in little dropper bottles. Beautiful interior, too.
298 Bedford Ave (btwn S 1st & Grand St), Brooklyn, NY
Ristorante di pesce · Williamsburg · 447 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Clearly, this is the best date spot in town. The oyster selection is marvelous, and the vibe is swanky and confident. I skipped the absinthe drip, but the absinthe cocktails are wonderful.
Ristorante italiano · North Slope · 200 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: All of the pastas are amazing, but they probably have a special that’s extra amazing, like paccheri with pork shoulder ragù. Hit the wine bar downstairs for a less crowded, more intimate experience.
Birrificio · Carroll Gardens · 144 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Awesome, diverse list of IPAs. My favorite move is to pick up a sandwich at Court Street Grocers and bring it here to eat, with the beers. You know, for responsibility and such.
485 Court St (btwn Nelson and Huntington St), Brooklyn, NY
Vendita al dettaglio di alimenti e bevande · Carroll Gardens · 157 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Once, someone told me they didn’t like sandwiches. Not a specific sandwich. Just the concept. I didn’t get the opportunity to change their mind with CSG, but I know it would work. Eat more sandwiches.
1524 Neptune Ave (W 15th & W 16th St.), Brooklyn, NY
Pizzeria · Coney Island · 108 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: The crust is among the best I’ve ever had. The sauce and cheese are excellent but a few other legendary spots have it slightly better. But it’s still worth every minute you wait in line.
457 Court St (btwn 4th Pl & Luquer St), Brooklyn, NY
Ristorante italiano · Carroll Gardens · 237 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Oh, mama. It’s so good. The cavatelli with hot sausage and browned sage butter is stupid good. The escarole and cavatelli soup is stupid good. The meatballs! I could go on. It’s all just so, so good.
Ristorante italiano · Williamsburg · 189 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: It is everything you hoped it would be and more. There was a special appetizer focaccia with tomatoes that melted my brain, so trust the specials. The sheep’s milk agnolotti entrée was divine too.
Ristorante americano · Williamsburg · 29 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: I am in love with this restaurant and bar, after which every casual restaurant and bar chain in America is modeled. Get the mozzarella sticks. And beer in frosted mugs.
Luogo per concerti · Boerum Hill · 18 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Imagine Elsewhere after it gets promoted to VP, gets a townhouse in Cobble Hill, marries someone fun but responsible, and never loses its soul. That’s Public Records.
387 Myrtle Ave (btwn Clermont & Vanderbilt Ave), Brooklyn, NY
Ristorante italiano · Clinton Hill · 31 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Phenomenal food in a perfect environment. For dates, for friends, for business dinners, for a solo dinner at the bar; if you want amazing Italian food, wine, and cocktails, it’s hard to go wrong here.
128 Greenpoint Ave (at Manhattan Ave), Brooklyn, NY
Ristorante messicano · Greenpoint · 71 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: The food (beet chorizo & lamb barbacoa tacos were my favorites) is excellent, yes, but you owe it to yourself to check out the extremely funky bathrooms.
Birrificio · Williamsburg · 9 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: The vibes, and the beers, are incredibly good. Space looked like it popped straight outta AD. But, they either need some sound dampening or I’m just too old, because it’s impossible to hear anyone.
Ristorante di taco · Greenpoint · 40 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Best street tacos in the city? Tacombi should come take notes, I’ll tell you that much. Kind, friendly people behind the counter, rotating taco selection, and dance music on the soundsystem.
Cole Kennedy: Some of the best slices in the city. Tops Joe's without a doubt. On the pricier side, and the place is usually slammed, but whether you're taking a slice to go or hanging out, it's always good.
91 Greenpoint Ave (btwn Manhattan Ave & Franklin St), Brooklyn, NY
Taverna · Greenpoint · 83 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Underrated gem. Only a dive in the absolute loosest sense. More like a cozy British pub that also does a great cocktail and has a cute backyard.
Ristorante italiano · Clinton Hill · 118 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Perfect place. Menu always rotating with whatever’s fresh and good, but you’ll never be disappointed. Springtime, had spaghetti with smoked tilefish and ramps.
295 Grand St (btwn Havemeyer & Roebling St), Brooklyn, NY
Wine bar · Williamsburg · 90 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: This place only gets better. Easier to grab a spot at lunch, and the menu still hits. I mean, just look at this ham sandwich on absolutely the fluffiest focaccia I have ever had.
1025 Manhattan Ave (btwn Green & Freeman St), Brooklyn, NY
Ristorante Taiwanese · Greenpoint · 11 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: Man, everything was great. Highlights were the celtuce salad, Taiwanese popcorn chicken, and the 886 Noodles. Gotta come back with a group for the BDSM Chicken.
Cole Kennedy: 21 has become our favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. Perfect balance of comfortable and cool. Love the burger, love the gumbo, love the Homer’s Day Off cocktail.
575 Henry St (btwn Carroll St & 1st Pl), Brooklyn, NY
Pizzeria · Carroll Gardens · 249 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: I regret to inform you that it is indeed worth the wait. However, the “one bottle per table” limit isn’t enforced, so don’t stress about that if you have red and white drinkers in the same group.
Nuovo ristorante americano · Fort Greene · 3 consigli e recensioni
Cole Kennedy: They’ve got a hit. Such an incredibly cute space, great service, and of course, great food. The burger is great and the French toast at brunch was out of this world.
