Ops might be pretty new, but it’s already one of the neighborhood’s best restaurant hangs. A block away from the Dekalb L stop, the first thing you’ll notice is that they nailed the look of the place - huge windows, lots of reclaimed wood, and a long bar area overlooking the open kitchen and pizza oven. The menu is pretty short, but they serve everything you need: a few great pizzas, a salad or two, dessert, and drinks. Have confidence that whatever wine they happen to be pouring is good. You’ll feel like you’re a regular here even if it’s your first time.

Sally Roots is cool. But not so cool that you’d feel uncomfortable bringing an early in the game date or your soon-to-be-former friend Steve from college who thinks Shake Shack isn’t worth the price. It’s a welcoming, accessible spot to eat affordable Caribbean comfort food (nothing is over $18) and drink tropical cocktails (none are over $12), or if you happen to be in the mood for ramen or something on the healthier side, you can get that too. In other words, it’s hard not to like this place.

One of the more grown-up restaurants in Bushwick, Faro is a good place for a date. But it’s an even better place to bring parents and/or out-of-towners who want to feel like they’ve gotten a good Brooklyn experience in. The converted warehouse space is simple but nice, the pasta is good, and you can actually make a reservation.

Bunna Cafe is a place everyone in the neighborhood seems to know about, but bring anyone who doesn’t live in Bushwick here and their mind is blown. This is an Ethiopian restaurant perfect for an early in the game date or for a group dinner, where you can order “The Feast” and try one of everything on the menu. There will be a wait, but it’s always worth it.

A bar first, restaurant second, El Cortez is still a very solid place not just to drink, but also to eat. Themed bars are usually at best kind of quaint, and at worst reminiscent of your 3rd-grade cowboy birthday party. But this ’70s themed spot manages to be neither - and it’s the Tex-Mex/tiki feel that keeps us coming back. It’s low-key, yet definitely fun enough to warrant a trip to the neighborhood, and would even make for a great birthday spot.

Your roommate just gave you a heads up that she’s planning to turn your apartment into an ayahuasca den tomorrow, your boss freaked out at you for forgetting to use a paper clip instead of staples again, and you lost your month unlimited metrocard three days into the month. You need a T.O. Get some alone time at Ichiran, a ramen place where you can put up dividers even more divider-y than what they used in elementary school to keep kids from cheating on their math tests. In other words: noodle slurping in blissful solitary confinement.

We only recently figured out that Little Mo is owned by the same people as Little Skips. Which now seems obvious to us, given the names and the proximity of these two counter-service places. Right by the Myrtle Ave subway, Little Mo is a Vietnamese spot that serves great banh mi, vermicelli rice bowls, and pho. They only do beef pho on the weekends and have a limited selection of beer and cider, but those are pretty much the only drawbacks of this place. Bring a casual date or just bring yourself and hang here for a few hours instead of dealing with the mess from your roommate’s Blue Apron.

La Lupe is another excellent counter-service lunch and dinner option that’s across the street from Little Mo. Not only does La Lupe make some of the best tacos in Bushwick, it has one of the better spaces to sit down and enjoy them with friends. You can also get non-taco things here like elote, burritos, and tostadas, and they have a Happy Hour from 3-7pm every weekday with $3 shots and $5 margaritas, and enough table space to fit a few medium sized groups.

Cape House is a great summer spot for seafood and day drinking in this part of Bushwick (the part that’s close to the Morgan Ave L). The food is still good during the winter, but the place isn’t quite the same without the patio, where you can sit with a big group at a picnic table outside, drinking cocktails on-tap. Expect to see other people eating burgers, fish and chips, and a bunch of seasonal-specific vegetables and mains, but if you want to do Cape House right, stick to the clam roll.

You no longer have to schlep quite so far to eat at Bunker (the original was in Ridgewood), which makes some of the better Vietnamese food in NYC. It’s now in Bushwick, with a much bigger space that’s great for groups. It might still be located in industrial Brooklyn, but inside it feels like a tropical hang: bright colors, paper lantern lights, plants, and lots of open seating.

It’s date night. With a person you’ve been on two hundred dates with. Netflix and Seamless has been floated, but you’re determined to do something that shows this person you still know how to be exciting. Or at least kind of fun. Take them to Guadalupe Inn, an upscale Mexican place where you can order an al pastor platter to make your own tacos, and maybe even catch a jazz or burlesque show at the small stage in the back afterwards.

Maite is a cute little spot serving food that actually feels different than what you’ll find at 90% of other cute little Brooklyn spots. They serve European-inspired farm to table stuff, which amounts to a menu that has everything from empanadas, to burrata with squid ink, to ribeye with an arepa. (And, ok fine, there’s also a burger - but it’s also very good.) Come here with a date or a group when you’ve seen the pizza/pasta/salad show too many times lately.

estaurant fatigue. It’s a symptom that plagues even the best eaters once in a while. You want to go out after work/after laying around your house all day watching Netflix, but just going to a restaurant doesn’t sound all that awesome right now. You want action. You want intrigue. But you also don’t want it to require much more effort than just going to dinner. That’s why there’s Syndicated, a restaurant/bar/movie theater. Stop in and hang in the giant front bar where they also serve food and show movies on the projectors, or check the schedule online to see which cult classic movie is playing tonight in the theater.

Momo gives the people what they want: tasty, if slightly gimmicky creations that go way beyond the typical spicy tuna on crispy rice type offerings. We have to admit, the sushi bombs (their signature single-bite creations) are weirdly addicting. The atmosphere here is cozy enough for a date, but the big communal tables are great for groups if you can get here early enough to grab one.

Archie’s is the kind of late night go-to that everyone needs in their neighborhood: pizza by the slice, a cool atmosphere, and a full bar. They also serve grinders, which sounds like something that was invented to be ordered when you’re drunk, but turns out is actually just a giant sandwich. So, yeah, order one when you’re drunk.

Neighborhoods full of 20-somethings can only survive with the help of casual date spots. It’s science. Santa Panza is one of them, serving 6 or 12-inch wood-fired pizzas, salads, and small plates, with a little bar up front in case you’re not on a date, but dining solo. Nothing on the menu is expensive on its own, but know that things can add up quickly, because you’ll want to order a bunch of little pizzas. This place is cash only, but there’s an ATM in the restaurant, which is something you should know ahead of time so you can avoid the weird payment dance at the end of your date while one of you waits at the table.

Bushwick is home to two Guacuco establishments: Hotdogs and Arepas. You want the latter, where you’ll eat thick corn patties packed with fillings like pernil (pork shoulder) and pabellon (beef, cheese, beans, plantains) in a super casual environment. This is a family-run establishment - it’s named after the beach where the owner’s mother was born, and it’s that mother who’s running the kitchen.

Lucy’s has a concise menu, but everything on it is great. The staples are the Pho and Banh Mi (or a mashup of the two, Pho Banh Mi, which involves meat sauteed in pho broth). And while you can choose a meat, you definitely want brisket.

Nicandras is a casual Italian place right next to Lucy’s Vietnamese Kitchen and Boobie Trap on Irving. It doesn’t seem like much (there’s not a lot of signage and the inside is pretty simple), but this place makes all of their own pasta and has reasonable prices for food you’d see at a fancier restaurant. Despite feeling under-the-radar, it does fill up, so it might be a good idea to make a reservation for a date night with someone you want to impress without spending the kind of money you would at places like Maite or Faro.

As the name implies, The Narrows isn’t much more than a skinny little bar - but walk out the back and you’ll find yourself on one of Bushwick’s better patios. Not patio weather? There are still plenty of reasons to come here: namely, the excellent cocktails, the solid bar food (that they serve until late), and the dark atmosphere that’s perfect for a nightcap or a midnight snack.

Swell Dive is a Filipino/Tex-Mex place where you can get a taco at 1am. They do a few different kinds, but our late-night order is the one with chicken-fried spam. It is a highly enjoyable drunk food. The rest are fine - not as good as Chilo’s or Calaca, but they work for a quick meal. This is also a nice place to hang out. You can either sit at the bar or grab a booth or a table in back and play a board game (they have those). And when it’s nice out, there’s even a little backyard where you can eat your tacos and drink a cocktail out of a fishbowl.

Swell Dive is a Filipino/Tex-Mex place where you can get a taco at 1am. They do a few different kinds, but our late-night order is the one with chicken-fried spam. It is a highly enjoyable drunk food. The rest are fine - not as good as Chilo’s or Calaca, but they work for a quick meal. This is also a nice place to hang out.

For a somewhat casual, sit-down meal, Peaches is the go-to spot in Bed-Stuy. We aren’t saying it’s the only option (or even the best), but it’s a staple in this neighborhood the way Balthazaar is a staple in Soho. They do Southern food like grits, catfish, ribs, and cornbread, and it’s a great place to go for brunch. Come with a friend or bring your kids. This place is perfect for just about anyone.

Nashville-style fried chicken is hard to find in NYC, but you can get a solid plate of it at Peaches Hot House. This place is owned by the same people who run Peaches, but it’s a little more casual. The food is similar, but here there’s more of a focus on comfort food. They do stuff you want to eat with a beer - like barbecue shrimp, fried green tomatoes, and a burger. Although if you don’t order the fried chicken, you’re doing it wrong. That’s the main reason you come here. Order it hot.

For a nice date night in Bed-Stuy you have a few options, but Hart’s might be the best. It’s tiny, intimate, and they play some good early-2000’s R&B. It’s also pricey enough that you won’t seem cheap - but it’ll be tough to spend over $100 on a dinner for two. Unless you drink a lot. Which, hey, you do you. The food is Mediterranean/American, and the menu changes daily, but you can always expect to see clam toast toast and a lamb burger. Feel free to order either. Go for the optional anchovies on your burger if you’re feeling adventurous and really like fish.

Samurai Papa has two locations - one in Bushwick and another in Bed-Stuy. And if you live in Bed-Stuy, this is where you should be getting your ramen. Their broth is extra-concentrated, and it comes with some stock on the side (so you can dilute it to your mouth-preference). The space is pretty small, however, so don’t bring all of your friends. Unless you only have one or two friends. In which case, your inability to make friends works out perfectly.

Toad Style is a vegan place with a kung fu theme. They do things like a veggie burger, an eggplant parm, and pizza fries (with almond cheese). It isn’t the healthiest vegan food, but it’s fun, and vegans need junk food the same as everyone else. Try the banh mi or the veggie hot dog on baguette. You can get your food to go or sit at one of the little tables and appreciate the old kung fu movie posters. They’re open until 11pm every night.

These guys do Trinidadian specialties like bakes, doubles, and aloo pie. If you don’t know what these are, think of them as sandwiches with fried bread and fillings like chickpeas and salt fish. Their doubles are especially popular (and even a little famous), but you should get here early to make sure they don’t run out. Just know that this place is tiny, old-school, and cash-only. Although you won’t need to bring much cash. It’s very inexpensive.

Ali’s is another option for quick Trinidadian take-out in the area. They also do doubles and aloo pie, but if you want something a little bigger, you can have a roti. Order one, and you’ll get a flatbread wrapped around some chicken curry or goat or oxtail stew. Or if you’re a vegetarian, you can get the chickpea version. Just know that this place is cash-only, and there isn’t a ton of seating.

In Paris, there are probably a million places like L’Antagoniste. But you don’t live in Paris. You live in New York, and you’re reading this right now at your desk in Midtown. Or on a subway. Or at your apartment that’s smaller than you ever dreamed it would be. So maybe you should appreciate L’Antagoniste. It’s a nice little French place in Bed-Stuy where you can get some steak frites or duck l’orange. It isn’t especially affordable, but it also isn’t stuffy or formal, and you can come here with a date the next time you feel like spending a little cash.

Easily in the very top tier of Bed-Stuy’s tacos, Chilo’s is both the name of a bar and the name of the taco truck sitting on that bar’s back patio. In the warmer months, come here on a weekend afternoon and drink the day away with margaritas from the bar and any of the tacos from the truck. The picnic tables make for a great big group hang.

Maybe we haven’t stressed this enough, but if you go to Bed-Stuy and you don’t eat Caribbean food, you’re doing something wrong. That’s like going to Little Italy and not eating Italian food. Actually, it’s worse. Because Little Italy is for tourists. Go to Grandchamps and eat some crispy pork and fried plantains. This is a casual Haitian spot, and it’s great for a Tuesday night when all you want is a plate of meat, rice, and plantains.

Pilar Cuban Eatery is good for a lot of situations. There are healthy options, relatively unhealthy options, and it’s also moderately affordable. Stop by and have a Cuban sandwich or a plate of shredded steak with black beans and avocado. This is an ideal weeknight dinner spot, and it’s also nice enough for a casual date. Just know that your mouth will smell like garlic by the end of your meal.

Chez Oskar is a neighborhood French bistro. It used to be a Fort Greene staple, but then they moved to Bed-Stuy, and now it’s a Bed-Stuy staple. The food here isn’t amazing, but you also aren’t paying Daniel prices, and you don’t have to deal with servers who act like you just saved them from drowning and now they owe you a debt they cannot repay. Come here on a weeknight and get a salmon nicoiçse or one of “les burgers.” It’s a nice place to have dinner and pretend you’re in Paris for as long as it takes to eat your escargots or moules frites or, you know, le burger.

We aren’t sure what the theme of Fancy Nancy is, although we want to say early-90’s-high-school TV show. They have a cocktail called the “Jebroni,” they do tater tots covered in cheese, and they appear to have based their color scheme on 90’s ski wear. And the food is indeed just a little bit fancy. Instead of chicken wings they do duck, and you can stop by for dinner and have a nice piece of fish. But you can also get deviled eggs or a burger or a deviled egg stuck on top of a burger (at lunch).. This place is fun and casual, and it’s great for a night out with friends.

Pretty much every neighborhood has a bodega where you can get good, inexpensive tacos. You just have to know where to look. In Bed-Stuy, your option is Chinantla. It’s a little restaurant/grocery store, and they actually do a lot more than just tacos. You can get a torta or a burrito or some huevos rancheros. They have pretty big menu, and it’s all affordable. And while there are some tables at which to eat your very decent Mexican food, you probably aren’t going to bring a date here (it’s still a bodega). Unless your date is super cool, in which case you’ve won.

If you’re looking for the best tacos in Bed-Stuy, it’s a toss-up between Chilo’s and Calaca. But if you’re looking for the best all-around taco eating experience in Bed-Stuy, there’s no contest - it’s Calaca. This is a tiny little cash-only Mexican restaurant and tequila bar, and while eating here you actually feel like you have left New York City. Show up during happy hour and you can enjoy $5 margaritas with your (also very affordable) food. The fish and cochinita pibil tacos are our favorite, but you really can’t go wrong. This is low-key date night glory at its finest.

Casablanca is a retro, cash-only spot with tin ceilings, chandeliers, and a big vintage sign. And if you came here on a weeknight, or early in the evening on a weekend, you’d think it was simply a good place for a low-key cocktail. But that’s only one half of Casablanca’s real identity. Come after 11pm or so on weekends - or whenever the DJ shows up - and you’ll find a full-blown dance party (sometimes one you have to pay a $10 cover for). It always feels like it’s someone’s birthday here.

You should never not be in the mood to drink a rum punch and listen to reggae. If you really feel like you aren’t in the mood, go drink a rum punch and listen to reggae. That’ll put you in the mood. You can do this at Lover's Rock. It’s a Caribbean-themed cocktail bar in south Bed-Stuy where they make some good drinks and keep the lights dim. Reggae isn’t the only music they play, but don’t expect Top 40. It’s more old-school than that. For a fun night out that isn’t too crazy, we recommend this place. And when it’s warm, hit their backyard.
