Best Restaurant Dishes Eater NY Editors Ate This Week, September 15, 2025 | Eater NY

"We chose this Jewish-ish Brooklyn bistro and were glad to find a right-priced $65 three-course prix fixe with entree choices (he went for the chicken; I got the trout covered in lovely, sweet cherries, tomatoes, and pepitas). For shared dishes, the spaetzle was cozy and bright and the pickled vegetables were spicy and sour, but the star was the latkes ($21 for two): two plump fritters with crispy exteriors giving way to almost-creamy, still-shredded potatoes topped with creme fraiche and roe. I could’ve eaten an entire plateful, and we ended with a huge, pleasant slice of the restaurant’s ode to black-and-white cookies in cake form." - Nick Mancall-Bitel
