"Clinton Hill’s premiere destination for eating sardines with a date, Place des Fêtes specializes in natural wine and inventive, seafood-heavy small plates. Book a table in the spacious room lined with earth-toned banquettes, and enjoy an elaborate take on fluke tartare or some fried maitake mushrooms with a side of black garlic fudge. If you don’t have a reservation, it’s not too hard to grab a seat at the bar, where you can drink a negroni and eat some pasta while you watch folks plating mussels and mortadella in the open kitchen." - willa moore, bryan kim, tiffany yannetta, neha talreja
