"Miss Ada recently reopened its back patio for the summer, and that’s a piece of information you should stare at for as long as it usually takes you to commit something to memory. The partially-covered space in Fort Greene has a bunch of hanging plants and brick walls with big murals of people drinking wine, and it’s one of our favorite places to eat outside in Brooklyn. It’s especially nice at brunch, when this Middle Eastern spot serves some excellent dishes from its dinner menu, like sweet whipped ricotta that could be an appetizer or dessert, as well as brunch-specific things, like french toast with labne mousse and shakshuka with pita right off the grill. They only do brunch on weekends, and it’s usually not even worth trying to come without a reservation, so plan ahead. The chocolate babka and harissa Bloody Marys are worth it." - nikko duren
