Williamsburg, Brooklyn · restaurant
The $32 steak frites is the quiet flex of South Williamsburg—skirt steak drenched in a peppery au poivre-meets-Caribe mojo situation, buried under a landslide of fries. The front room’s got that breezy tiled-bar energy, the back dining room flickers with candles, and the fairy-lit patio—complete with a wood-burning stove—is where you post up and let the night stretch out.
