Brooklyn stays undefeated because of places like this 🇭🇹🇩🇴!! Antilles Café and Wine Bar is a Dominican and Haitian owned cafe that’s super cozy and intimate. There’s touches of Haiti and DR all over the space including merch. The owners Erick and Dru opened the cafe in 2024 with the cafe’s motto “1 Island, 1 Love.” It’s nice to see a neighborhood cafe that’s rooted in culture and community. 📍Antilles Cafe / 1170 Nostrand Ave, Brooklyn, New York City The moment I stepped in the service was so warm and inviting. This is the perfect place to vibe out, zone out or lock in. Plus they have a fire playlist! Double plus because they stay open late (10PM) and they serve wine. BUT I was there to try their viral Plantain Crème Brûlée iced latte ☕️. It was SO Good!! The bistro menu is small but mighty with options like Dominican stewed beef meatballs, yuca fries, tostones and some amazing griot. Do yourself a favor and check them out! #nycdinner#nyc#nyctok #foodontiktok#nycfoodie#foodreview#cafe#nyceats#nycrestaurants#brooklyn#dominican#haitian#latte

I finally tried Hellbender 🥞 and those viral pancakes deserve every single post on your feed. They’re a Mexican-American restaurant in Ridgewood that didn’t serve me one bad dish!! Their viral pancakes are thick, fluffy, golden, and somehow still light with that perfect crisp edge. One bite and I understood why it’s hard to get a reservation. 📍Hellbender / 68-22 Forest Ave, Ridgewood (Queens) New York City 🥞 Heirloom Masa Pancakes w/ Cinnamon Butter 🥞 Mega Thick Cut Bacon 🥞 Fried Oaxacan Cheese 🥞 Soft Scramble Egg Tostada (black beans, cheddar cheese, salsa macha, sesame) 🥞 Home Fries w/ Chorizo Spice 🥞 Coconut Shakerato Drink This was the perfect amount of food to share between two people. Honestly, I’d recommend getting everything we ordered because this was the perfect spread. If you love a simple menu done right and brunch that actually hits, this is your sign to pull up. #nycdinner#nyc#nyctok #foodontiktok#brunch#foodreview#queens#nyceats#nycrestaurants#ridgewood#pancakes#mexican #thingstodoinnyc

Sak Pasé!!!! 🇭🇹 How lucky am I to have Haitian food two times in one week?! Lakay Bistro is the ✨NEWEST✨ Haitian restaurant to hit Brooklyn. 📍Lakay Bistro / 55 Ralph Ave, Brooklyn, New York City The inside is decorated nicely with a slight tropical vibe. Making it a good option for a date night or happy hour. The flavor was definitely in the room with us!! Each dish was on point from the Oxtail Mac & Cheese to the Griot with Black Rice to the mocktails. They are currently offering three small bites for $35 (8 options to choose from). Which is a pretty decent deal and allows you to explore the menu. Check them out! #nycdinner#nyc#nyctok #foodontiktok#soursop #foodreview#haitian#nyceats#nycrestaurants#brooklyn#datenight#griot

There’s a ✨NEW✨ Sexy spot that just opened in NYC. Naxos 🇬🇷 is giving coastal escape without leaving the city. They’re a stunning Greek-inspired, Mediterranean-Latin restaurant. The space is absolutely beautiful, sun-drenched, stylish, and made for photos from every angle making it perfect for date night or girls’ night! 📍Naxos / 470 Driggs Ave, Brooklyn, New York City The menu is all about bold flavors and shareable plates. I’d personally recommend grabbing a couple appetizers and cocktails to explore the menu. While I did enjoy the Grilled Snapper I just wasn’t wow’d by it. So for that reason, I’d go the first route. I really enjoyed the Steamed Mussels in a Mojo De Coco and Mastic Liquor sauce with grilled Pita and the Sliced Zucchini & Eggplant chips were fire. I’m a saucy girl and the Citrus Yogurt + Chili Oil dip was IT. #nycdinner#nyc#nyctok #foodontiktok#nycfoodie#foodreview#mediterranean#nyceats#nycrestaurants#brooklyn#datenight#newrestaurant #birthday

If Chinese and Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 food had a really fly baby in Brooklyn, this would be it. We’re at Chino Grande in Williamsburg, a Chinese Puerto Rican fusion spot with bold flavors and a menu that keeps showing off. If you’re lucky enough to get a reservation or walk in and secure a table, The vibe is intimate, lively with Karaoke every night., and made for ordering a lot and sharing everything thanks to Chef Dylan. 📍Chino Grande / 253 Grand St, Brooklyn, New York I had a lot of ‘Best’ this night and I was thoroughly impressed with the food. Let’s talk about the Caesar salad for a second, because if you love a classic done really well, this is one you need to try. Easily one of the best I’ve had in a minute. The ceviche was a star and so were the drunken chicken!! Not to mention they offer traditional Chinese medicine tonics, immediately yes. 🇵🇷 Bacalao Caesar Salad 🇵🇷 Chorizo Egg Rolls 🇵🇷 Grilled Prawn 🇵🇷 Chicharrones 🇵🇷 Ceviche 🇵🇷 Roasted Drunken Chicken 🇵🇷 Papi Flan 🇵🇷 Rice & Beans The food is truly incredible here! If you were thinking about visiting this spot please don’t hesitate to pull up. #nycdinner#nyc#nyctok #foodontiktok#chicharron ##foodreview#puertorican#nyceats#nycre

NYC, this is your sign to switch up date night 😊❤️ 📍 Unglo Thai Restaurant & Bar 🇹🇭 / 35 W 64th Street, New York City Originally meant to be a Thai BBQ and Hot Pot spot, they pivoted and now serve elevated yummy Thai dishes with stunning cocktails. The cocktails are visually stunning and super creative. Every cocktail is crafted with unique flavor pairings that complement the menu well. The space is moody, intimate, and perfect for a night out. My favorites: ✨ Shrimp Fried Rice ✨ Pad See Ew ✨ Fried Bronzino If you’re looking for a new Thai spot, check them out! #nycdinner#nyc#nyctok #foodontiktok#nycfoodie#foodreview#manhattan#nyceats#nycrestaurants#thai#hotpot#thaibbq

For MONTHS my feed has been flooded with the viral French dip from Salt Hank’s and naturally I had questions 🥖. They open at 11 AM. We got there at 11:30AM and the line was already forming outside. 📍Salt Hank’s / 280 Bleecker St, New York, New York City 💵 French Dip Combo: $41 (Sandwich, Fries + Drink) 🤝🏾 Easily shareable for two We waited about 30 minutes in line but I will say the line moved fairly quick. The menu is simple. Very simple. Because they know exactly what people came for, The French dip sandwich. You can order the sandwich by itself or make it a combo with fries and a drink. I went with the combo which came out to $41. Almost immediately after we sat down, the food hit the table hot and fresh. My sister and I planned to split it and honestly that was the right move because this sandwich is stacked. Thinly shaved prime rib, melty provolone, deeply caramelized onions, and a creamy horseradish chive aioli all layered on a crusty baguette. On the side you get a cup of rich au jus that basically transforms the whole sandwich. The bread holds up perfectly, soaking up all that savory jus. The beef is juicy, the onions add a little sweetness, the cheese melts into everything

There is no literally no way you can hate on this! This is literally the model for a perfect scone. Everything they said, believe them because these scones were magical. In honor of St. Patricks Day 🍀 please go to May O’s!!!!! I feel like I sleep on scones but Mary O’s just woke me up because these scones were fire. 📍 Mary O’s Irish Soda Bread Shop / 93 1/2 E 7th St, New York City 💵: $6 for the Irish Soda Bread Scones w/ Homemade Blueberry Jam and Irish Butter 🗓️: Thursday-Sunday 7AM-2PM (or until they sell out) ✨ You can order online for pickup!! These come out warm with that perfect golden edge slightly crisp on the outside, then you break it open and it’s soft, fluffy, and packed with Irish butter and homemade Black blueberry jam. This is literally the model for the perfect scone! I genuinely have no notes 🔥 #nyc #scones #mustvisit #dessert #viralfood

From the first bite to the last, Lula Mae did not miss 😮‍💨🔥! If I could hand out Michelin stars myself? They’re getting one, No questions. They’re a Contemporary Southeast Asian restaurant that draws from flavors of Cambodia 🇰🇭 and beyond. A LOT of ‘Best’ here and I can’t wait to go back. From amazing oysters, curry, wings, lamb chops..basically the entire menu lol. 📍Lula Mae / 472 Myrtle Ave, Brooklyn, New York City 🎷Live Jazz on Tuesday’s 🦪 $2 Oysters all day on Wednesday’s Happy Hour: 5-7PM bar only for $10 cocktails and food (including some of the dishes I ordered) ❤️ Sweet Petite Oysters ❤️ Tahini Cabbage Salad ❤️ Tuna Tataki ❤️ Krueng Crab Fried Rice ❤️ Somlar Kari (Red Curry) ❤️ Spicy Sticky Lamb Chops ❤️ Dessert: Strawberry Shortcake Matcha French toast situation Every dish was amazing!!

Caught a flight to Greece but it landed in Brooklyn 🇬🇷❤️ 📍Nerina / 35 Commercial St, Brooklyn, New York City Date Night, Girls Night, or “I want to treat myself” energy, this place is THAT. Nerina is giving candlelit, coastal and intimate. Everything here is meant to be shared so you can explore the menu together. From fresh seafood, perfectly grilled meats, rich pastas, and delicious mezze spreads, the menu is on point. You can’t go wrong with a Branzino but I was stuck on the Lobster Orzotto! It was creamy and loaded with tender lobster folded into every bite. I don’t think I would’ve considered ordering it, if not for the staff highly suggesting it but I’m glad I did. It’s in a velvety Metaxa bisque and perfect for the table. Happy Hour: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 5:30PM-7:00PM (Bar only) w/ $5 Bites and $10 Cocktails/Wine/Beer. Every dish feels intentional and balanced (love a colorful plate!). Pair it with a cocktail or a glass of wine and you’re in for a good night.

Now THIS is how you do Brunch 🥞! If you’ve been looking for a Southern brunch spot that actually delivers, you need to check out Stowaway. They’re known for their all day brunch style menu with Southern comfort dishes, biscuits, pancakes, and more. 📍 Stowaway / 159 Greenpoint Ave, Brooklyn, New York City I went at 10:30AM and it was already packed and after trying everything, I completely understand why.

More people need to be talking about this brunch! @thefultonnyc is another amazing Jean-Georges concept! Located right on Pier 17 at the Seaport literally steps from the Brooklyn Bridge.

So their $1 oysters, exclusively for brunch, caught my attention. They’re incredibly fresh with a briny flavor, nicely chilled, and perfectly shucked. Easily something I would order multiple rounds of. Check them out! #nyc #seaport #seafood #brooklynbridge #datenight

If you’re looking for one of the most iconic steakhouse experiences in New York City this is it 🥩! Back in the 1950s and 60s, this spot was a celebrity playground! Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr and Dean Martin were regular at Golden Steer. 📍 Golden Steer / 1 5th Ave, New York, New York City Golden Steer brought that same legendary energy from Las Vegas straight to Manhattan and I’m still not over this meal. Known for sourcing top-tier, premium cuts and delivering that old-school, white-glove table side experience that’s all about precision, quality and show stopping presentation. From the perfectly marbled ribeye to the buttery 14oz lobster tail and unforgettable table side Caesar + Bananas Foster made right in front of us with caramelized bananas, citrus zest, and vanilla bean ice cream 🥹 unforgettable!!

I’ve been hearing about Madre for a minute, so I finally pulled up for brunch and it was delicious! I can see why they’ve been recognized by the Michelin Guide for 4 consecutive years. 📍Madre / 214 Franklin St, Brooklyn, New York City ✨ Happy Hour: Wednesday-Thursday 5:30PM - 7PM + All day Sunday Now, my main motivation for pulling up was the French Toast! Thick, pillowy slices with that perfect golden crisp on the outside, soft and custardy on the inside AND the fact that you can get it topped with a scoop of Gelato did it for me! I’d get that over and over again. Overall, everything was great! The Brunch menu is short and sweet but all the options are worth ordering. We ordered a bunch of stuff and ate it family style so we could try a little bit of everything. As for cocktails, we all enjoyed our but The El Sancho is a MUST. Mezcal, apricot, Campari, habanero, cinnamon, it’s smoky slightly sweet, and then that slow heat kicks in and lingers in the best way. 🍳 Market Salad 🍳 Croquetas 🍳 Brown Butter French Toast 🍳 Fish Sandwich 🍳 Wagyu Burger 🍳 Octopus 🍳 Hamachi 🍳 Cornbread Madeleines Check them out ✨ #nyc #brunch #frenchtoast #happyhour

COQODAQ has been on my list for forever and I finally checked them off! The whole concept is taking something as simple as fried chicken and turning it into a full luxury experience.

Even though the nuggets with 24 karat golden caviar aren’t included in brunch, but how could I come here and not order them?!!! Caviar on everything is having a major moment right now. The nuggets were crispy and the caviar gave it a nice buttery pop. I should’ve gotten more! 🥞French Toast Soldiers 🥞Hash Brown & Salmon “Rillettes” 🥞Shrimp Salad Lettuce Cups 🥞Deviled Eggs 🥞Umma’s Kimbap 🥞Pasture‑Raised Chicken Consommé 🥞Crispy Chicken Croquettes 🥞Buttermilk Pancakes 🥞Korean Fried Chicken 🥞DIY Frozen Yogurt As a pancake lover, I fully approve.

Apparently they only make a limited amount of those every day. So once they’re gone! Check them out 🐔! #nyc #friedchicken #biscuits #harlem #newrestaurant

I don’t play about my Thai food AT ALL 🇹🇭❤️. So I’m always on the hunt for a new Thai restaurant and Godunk was an A++++. The menu pulls inspiration from all over Thailand. From seafood heavy southern dishes to bold northern flavors so you’re getting a mix of classic comfort plates and harder to find regional specialties. It’s designed like a vintage movie theater with films playing, the cutest cinematic details everywhere, and even the drink menu looks like ticket stubs. 📍Godunk / 332 Bowery, New York City we ordered: ✨ Thai Tea + Coconut Water ✨ Godunk Fried Rice ✨ Chee Choo Prawn ✨ Hamachi Ceviche ✨ Whole Crispy Branzino ✨ Coconut Ice Cream This is will definitely be a go-to spot when I’m in the LES.
