"A restaurant co-owned by Michelle Lobo, who is also an owner of JR & Son. Known for its innovative cuisine." - Emma Orlow
"The dining room at this high-ceiling restaurant warrants entry on this list alone, while the food is good enough for a celebration or important date. Order lamb kofta with mint-cashew crema, collard greens with smoked turkey, and the skate wing. Bread, which the restaurant has come to be known for, is a must for dipping." - Emma Orlow
"Nura is a Mediterranean-leaning Greenpoint spot located in a former auto body shop, and it has high ceilings, a huge skylight, and a bar in the middle that functions as the restaurant’s town square. Despite the big bar, this isn’t the sort of place where you’ll want to eat alone. The plant-filled space is massive and lively, and you'll want to share a bunch of things like the bread basket and charred prawns." - bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick
"If you couldn’t make it to Mardi Gras this year, you can still make a NOLA-style mess of your week in Greenpoint on Monday. Nura is hosting a good old fashioned crawfish boil captained by their pastry chef Sam Short and Louisiana chef Nick Griffo. You can expect crawfish, cornbread, catfish nuggets, shaved ice tea, and more. If you’ve never had the pleasure of spending a couple hours twisting tails off crustaceans by the bayou, check out the event flier for a step-by-step guide. Reserve your spot here." - neha talreja
"Opened in 2021 by Michelle Lobo and Scott Hawley, Nura is a plant-filled oasis in a converted auto body shop in Greenpoint and represents their second project after Otis. Pastry chef Sam Short has come to be known there for top-notch bread baskets, and Mackenzie Gassett runs the restaurant’s wine program." - Emma Orlow
