"Runner & Stone is a bakery, a patisserie, a cafe, a breakfast through dinner restaurant, a bar and a thoroughly pleasant place to hang out. It seems like a lot, but they do it all well. The fresh breads are crusty and wholesome and the pastries are flaky and unusual (the brownies have caraway seeds). Best of all, the dine-in menu is Soho-level sophisticared at Gowanus-level prices. Try the pastramied duck or the mackerel, tomato and shallot sandwich- each for only nine bucks!" - Hyperakt
