Brooklyn Restaurant week


This week is restaurant week in BK. This means at participating restaurants a 3 course dinner will cost you a cool 25$. There are a ton of places on the list but I'm going to shout out some of my favorites.

River Cafe (Dumbo): Food is iiiigght, but the view is unbeatable, right on the water looking out at downtown Manhattan. Ate here a long time ago and remember it being not worth the ridiculous price, but restaurant week should knock a good 30$ off what you would normally pay.

Applewood (Park Slope): A place which really takes the whole "seasonal" thing to heart. Applewood sources all it's ingredients to local (and some New England) farmers, and while the dishes are not particularly inventive their execution is top notch. I recommend anything with seafood, considering the restaurant goes to crazy lengths to ensure the freshness of their fish (lobsters shipped daily from maine).

Stone Park Cafe (Park Slope): My favorite on the list, Stone Park simply does everything well. The menu is inventive enough without trying too hard, and this is one of the places where your restaurant week discounts will go the farthest. Get the pan seared scallops.
