Founded in 1950, Junior's landmark DINER is known as the home of New York's best cheesecake. For decades, Brooklynites (and other New Yorkers) have come to eat, laugh, and kibbtiz (argue) over cheesecake.
Junior's now operates multiple restaurants and is shipping their cheesecake nationwide, but there's nothing better than enjoying a fresh slice at the location that started it all. The restaurant serves savory dishes as well, in case you insist on a meal before dessert.

LUNCH & DINNER, Red Hook/Brooklyn, TUE-SUN, 12-10pm (MON closed)
Red Hook is a bit out of the way, but if BBQ is your thing, this restaurant alone is worth the visit. The whole neighborhood is very cool and there are plenty of other places to explore along Van Brunt Street.
The easiest commute to Redhook is actually via commuter ferry (South Brooklyn line) from Wall Street/Pier 11, or DUMBO/Brooklyn Bridge. It’s a very short - and VERY scenic! - trip along the Brooklyn waterfront, with spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline

🇸🇾 This old-school SYRIAN BAKERY in Brooklyn is known for its flatbreads, plus sweet & savory pastries, dips & spreads.
Located on the same block as Sahadis on Atlantic Avenue, we usually buy from both stores at the same time when we're near the waterfront. Damascus' pita bread is the best and the owners are the sweetest people!

🇮🇹 Old-school ITALIAN grocer and deli, known for making fresh mozzarella and pasta on site. This is a local favorite in traditionally Italian-American Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.
The deli counter stocks an impressive selection of imported cheeses and cold cuts and all pasta sauces and antipasti are prepared by family members from generations-old recipes. Their frozen pizza dough is A+++ as well, but fresh Italian sausages often sell out early.
