"The Brooklyn original, open for about 15 years, is where the green salad with clothbound cheddar and quick-pickled cucumbers became a menu staple; diners remain devoted to the unchanged preparation. The straightforward combination of tangy, earthy cheddar, crunchy pickles, ample greens and alliums offers a balanced, approachable dish that can be customized with proteins like chicken, and it has long been considered a quietly beloved item alongside the bar’s more indulgent offerings." - Nat Belkov
