I've been going to Forma Pasta every week since it opened in 2019 because I'm obsessed with their delicious, high quality and affordable pasta dishes, and I love their friendly service and beautiful restaurant spaces. I've become friends with some of...
Forma Pasta
This is a longtime favorite of so many New Yorkers because the atmosphere and decor are cozy and welcoming, the staff is friendly, and the food is excellent. You can find tasty mezze appetizers such as hummus, labneh, pickled veggies and falafel, del...
Cafe Mogador
This spot has delicious Chinese food (including excellent dumplings--my favorite!) in a gorgeous setting. You MUST try the cucumber dish. So simple yet unbelievable delicious. Everything here is excellent. Must go!
Antidote
I've loved this spot for a long time, even when they completely changed their menu. No matter what they're currently serving, you know it will be high quality, reasonably priced and delicious. It's a lovely, cozy space as well, perfect for a cold nig...
ALLSWELL - Restaurant & Bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
This is a unique ice cream spot with thoughtful, tasty flavor combinations you might not find elsewhere. The emphasis is on the ice cream, toppings and delicious whipped cream (panna). You choose your flavor combo for ice cream, drizzle, topping and ...
Caffe Panna
This is the best Neopolitan pizza in New York and no one seems to know about it outside of Greenpoint. It's owned by a Neopolitan pizza maker and all of their pizzas are delicious and high quality. Service is quick and friendly and the space is beaut...
Salsa Greenpoint
Such a cool space with delicious and fun food. Great atmosphere and great spot to go out with friends. Highly recommend!
Rule of Thirds
These hand rolls are delicious and the space is beautiful. Located right by the Greenpoint Ave G subway stop. I got to try these rolls when Knori donated food in support of Greenpoint Trash Club and I look forward to getting more rolls soon!
Knori Hand Roll Bar
I'm so glad there's a tasty dumpling spot in Greenpoint that's also affordable. They have so many delicious options, from steamed and fried dumplings of many fillings, to noodle soups, veggies, scallion pancakes and more. Love it!
Oh Dumplings
Delicious chocolate chip cookies and other pastries and breads, plus great sandwiches. Make sure to go at an off-peak time, like on a weekday, to avoid the insane weekend lines.
Radio Bakery
I am obsessed with Vanessa's because it's super high quality and fresh but also somehow super cheap. Get the shrimp and chicken dumpling soup (comes with bok choy in it!) or the dumplings with spicy oil. The combo of herbs, spices and sauce on the du...
Vanessa's Dumpling House
This is such a lovely place. Great atmosphere and friendly service, and the food is always super high quality, simple and delicious. Make sure to get the focaccia with green garlic butter. Sometimes it's not on the menu but it's always possible to ge...
Lilia
This place is so aesthetically pleasing and cozy, and they have excellent and unusual baked goods with flavor combos that you wouldn't really expect but that work really well together. You never know what they've cooked up before you get there, but y...
Bakeri
Beautiful space and they have this delicious little cinnamon sugar “donut” that's actually shaped like a mini muffin that you must get. Get it early in the day because it tends to sell out! Great place to work or read or hang out with friends.
Sweetleaf Coffee Roasters
The OG best donut spot in Greenpoint. Old school vibes and excellent donuts AND, if they're out of my favorite cinnamon sugar cake donuts, they'll make me one out of a plain cake donut. Plus, they always have plain cake donuts, which are also the bes...
PETER PAN DONUTS
The owner of this shop split off from Peter Pan Donuts, so the donuts here are just as good as they are there, and sometimes they have more interesting flavors here. There's almost never a line and service is super friendly. A lovely family owned spo...
