Here's a sampling of some of our favorite restaurants and watering holes.
In Brooklyn...
Restaurants:
Franny's
295 Flatbush Avenue
718-230-0221
Hands down the best pizza in NYC. Located in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, Franny's doesn't take reservations so be prepared for a wait at the bar, or go for an early-bird dinner.
Flatbush Farm
76 Saint Marks Avenue
718-622-3276
Another Smields fave. Note: It's light on the vegetarian options, but has truly amazing coffee and a wonderful brunch.
Buttermilk Channel
524 Court Street
718-852-8490
Six words: Sweet potato and goat cheese croquettes. Added bonus: They have a vegetarian menu.
Dizzy's
Very busy, low-key diner. Rob LOVES this place. Jennifer feels differently.
511 9th St
718-499-1966
Miracle Grill
Burgers, nachos and margaritas.
222 7th Ave
