"Look out at the water from Brooklyn Crab, and you’ll see giant container ships that’ll remind you Brooklyn is certainly not a beach town. Even still, this Red Hook spot definitely feels summery—maybe it’s the fake sand or crab traps, which will take your mind off the fact that you’re next to warehouse parking lots. Order crab legs, popcorn shrimp, and a few pitchers of beer, and then remove your bib and play some cornhole. The restaurant is also on the same block as Hometown Bar-B-Que, if you’re looking for surf and turf." - willa moore, bryan kim, neha talreja, matt tervooren, molly fitzpatrick
