"From the people who brought you one of Brooklyn’s best backyards, Swoony’s is an American bistro where you can sit with some friends and share a wedge salad and some short rib au poivre. The Carroll Gardens restaurant is clubby and old school—the kind of place that feels conducive to several martinis, even on a Tuesday night. Weekday reservations are easy to snag, but book a few weeks in advance if you want to eat here on a Friday or Saturday." - bryan kim, neha talreja, kenny yang, willa moore, will hartman
