Where To Hang Out Near 14 Restaurants With Long Waits - New York - The Infatuation

"If you want to eat the most perfect roast chicken in Brooklyn, expect a wait, because Sailor in Fort Greene has been booked out since it opened in September 2023. For a waiting-spritz, snag a spot outside at Saraghina Caffe. Not only is it some of the best sidewalk seating around, but you can order a pizza, and it's also exactly one block away, so you can keep tabs on everyone coming and going out of Sailor. Not that you would. But you could. If it’s not sitting-outside weather, head to Karasu, a Japanese speakeasy in the back of a restaurant, where you can get a cocktail named Call Me Beep Me If You Want To Lychee." - willa moore
