Worthy Picks

7.8
$$ Clinton Hill
A farm-to-table-leaning all-day room where the sourcing message is real—organic meats, local produce when possible—and the menu lands best on comfort-forward staples. Come for the space and the easy hang, then order one creamy, one crunchy, and stop there.
Must-Try Dishes: Mac and Cheese, Burger, Shishitos
What Makes it Special: Farm-forward sourcing in a big, design-y all-day hangout.
7.6
$$$$ Clinton Hill Thai
A Clinton Hill Thai newcomer with a slightly more ambitious lane than the usual neighborhood curry shop—think classics plus a couple of bigger, fish-and-braise signatures. Treat it like a paced dinner: one noodle or curry, one shared centerpiece, and rice to catch the sauces.
Must-Try Dishes: Pad kee mao, Massaman with short rib, Whole fried branzino with caramelized fish sauce
What Makes it Special: A newer Clinton Hill Thai spot mixing classics with bigger signature plates.
7.6
$$$$ Clinton Hill
A newer Clinton Hill cocktail-and-wine room that’s strongest as a post-work link-up: frozen drinks, crowd energy, and a menu that leans more “sip and socialize” than full dinner. It’s best when you treat it as round-one territory, then decide if you’re heading elsewhere.
Must-Try Dishes: Frozen cocktail, Negroni variation, Sparkling wine by the glass
What Makes it Special: A stylish Fulton Street bar built for social, drink-forward happy hours.
