"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
"Located on a windswept, wide artery in Greenpoint with retrofitted warehouses and new gleaming residential towers, this former auto-body shop really revs its stuff.Chef Tajeh Porter's menu is deliciously informed by co-owner Michelle Lobo-Hawley's Indian heritage. From coriander garlic naan to maple sweet crumbly corn bread, the fresh bread basket is a marvel, but when coupled with spiced carrot and white bean spread or hummus flavored with smoky blistered poblano, it's a meal unto itself. Have some discipline, though, since you'll want some bread to sop up the electrifying sweet-smoky mezcal- and Urfa pepper-infused sauce accompanying the prawns. Finish with roasted sunchoke ice cream with candied cocoa nibs, crushed cookie and a flourish of flamed black cardamom." - Michelin Inspector
"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
