Greenpoint.

Lamb barbacoa tacos with squash blossom and salsa pipicha; pollo a las brazas with salsa pasilla and crispy red rice; the market corn tlayuda. Then the long mezcal list.

High ceilings, plants, big round booths and a chef’s counter facing the wood-fired grill, plus a greenhouse-like covered patio. The little building was once a plumbing store.

Chef and owner Justin Bazdarich cooks over a wood fire. It earned a Michelin star in November 2018, less than six months after it opened. A fire in June 2025 closed it until July 26.

Weekend pancakes, half-fried in clarified butter until crisp at the edges. At dinner: Caesar salad with anchovy and Piave, falafel with green harissa, and the half chicken with jus.

White-washed brick walls and an uncluttered bar on a quiet corner, with low lighting inside. On long June evenings, fairy lights and sidewalk tables come out.

Aidan O’Neal and Jake Leiber opened it in April 2017, and Pete Wells of The New York Times gave it two stars. It reopened in July 2024 after nearly five months closed.

Plants, pastel pink and Scandinavian-style furniture, with an open kitchen in view. A bowl of phở at the bar makes a good dinner alone.

It opened in 2018 with Dennis Ngo as chef and co-owner, and The Infatuation says it has been packed since day one. The menu credits HOG Farm and Norwich Meadow Farm produce and Happy Valley meat.

Book on OpenTable from the website, with a separate large-party link. Monday to Thursday 5 to 10 p.m., Friday to Sunday noon to 10 p.m. A 20% gratuity applies to parties of six or more.

Pierogi with cheese and potato, sauerkraut and mushroom, or meat; the plate of Polish specialties with pierogi, potato pancakes, kielbasa, hunter’s stew and stuffed cabbage; white borscht served in bread.

A rustic, farmhouse-style dining room decorated like a barn, with a bar.

Urszula and Sławek Letowski run this Polish restaurant on Greenpoint Avenue. Greenpointers wrote in May 2025 that it had recently celebrated its 17th anniversary, and in March 2026 The Infatuation called its pierogi the best in Greenpoint.

Open daily from noon: until 10:30 p.m. Monday to Thursday, 11:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 10 p.m. Sunday. A lunch plate with soup runs weekdays noon to 4 p.m., not on holidays.

Pistachio or triple chocolate croissants and the earl grey morning bun; focaccia slices from breakfast on; lunch sandwiches on focaccia and stirato from 11 a.m.

Most of the space is a working bakery, with a few counter stools inside and sidewalk tables outside. Expect a line.

It comes from the team behind Rolo’s in Ridgewood. It opened May 18, 2023 to a line out the door, added a Prospect Heights shop, and in January 2026 said it would expand its kitchen onto Manhattan Avenue.

Open daily 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. or until sold out; no pre-orders. Pastries are out by 8 a.m., more focaccia at 10, sandwiches at 11; most pastries sell out by 1 p.m.

The shop lists its most popular donuts as red velvet, apple crumb, Boston cream, blueberry buttermilk, sour cream glazed and chocolate cake. Add an egg cream, or build a bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel.

An S-shaped lunch counter, checkerboard floors, vintage price signs and staff in pink-and-green uniforms. The family that runs it has changed little since the shop opened in the 1950s.

Family owned and operated for decades, it still makes most of its donuts from the shop’s original recipes. It made a cameo in Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Mon. to Wed. 4:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Thu. and Fri. 4:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Sat. 5 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Sun. 5:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Order online; catering by inquiry.

A marble bar in front of a mirrored back bar with a handwritten tap list, herringbone wood and white tile on the walls. A back room holds about 40 for private events.

Evil Twin brewer Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø and chef Daniel Burns opened it in 2013, on the idea that beer deserves the care usually given to wine and fine dining.

Resy takes parties of up to 9; for 10 or more, email info@torstnyc.com. Open Monday to Thursday 3 p.m. to midnight, Friday and Saturday noon to 1 a.m., Sunday noon to midnight.

Custom-order a dashi blend at Dashi Okume and stay for its fish teishoku. Then browse Kama-Asa’s kitchen knives, Balmuda’s appliances, and Cibone O’te’s ceramics and homeware.

Jo Nagasaka of Schemata Architects designed the space: high ceilings, white-painted brick, garage-door windows, cement floors and reclaimed wood from Kyoto.

It opened in 2022 with three Tokyo brands and expanded next door in 2025. Dashi Okume comes from a Tokyo seafood wholesaler founded in 1871; Kama-Asa was founded in Kappabashi, Tokyo’s kitchenware district, in 1908.

Cibone O’te, Kama-Asa and Dashi Okume keep 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. hours. Dashi Okume closes on the first and third Tuesdays; last teishoku order is 7 p.m.

Walk out on the pier over the East River, cast a line at one of the city’s listed saltwater fishing sites, or spread out on the lawn.

About 1.6 acres of land on the East River between Kent Street and Greenpoint Avenue, with an open lawn, a playground and a pier over the water.

WNYC broadcast its AM signal from two towers here from 1937 to 1990. NYC Parks began a $12 million rebuild in 2010, and the park was dedicated on September 10, 2012.

City Planning lists the park as a saltwater fishing site; New York State DEC publishes the current fishing regulations.

Follow the radial paths to the 1910 pavilion, find the 1923 Greenpoint War Memorial and the 1938 Monitor Memorial, and shop the Sunday farmers market.

A 9.1-acre park of London plane-lined walks radiating from a crescent-shaped pavilion: an open arcade with a small building at each end, which the Landmarks Commission likened to the Grand Trianon at Versailles.

The land was bought for a park in 1889 and first named Winthrop Park. It was renamed in 1941 for Monsignor Edward J. McGolrick. Helmle & Huberty’s pavilion became a city landmark in 1966.

Down to Earth’s farmers market runs Sundays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., year-round, at the center of the park. Barbecuing is not allowed; the nearest barbecue area is in McCarren Park.
