"The Waiting Room: Petit Paulette The Back-Up Plan: Rhodora From the team behind Miss Ada, seafood-focused Theodora saves some bar seats for walk-ins. But that’s only sort of helpful on a Thursday night, when every Fort Greene couple has decided that they deserve to eat some sexy little fish plates. Don’t freak out. Petit Paulette, a tiny wine bar opposite Fort Greene Park, is less than a 10-minute walk away. Slurp some pre-seafood oysters and sip on a glass of wine or two. If it’s too full of young people pretending they’re in Paris, head to Rhodora, a wine bar with frequent pop-ups and outdoor seating. " - willa moore
