The Brooklyn Hit List: The Best New Restaurants In Brooklyn

"Brooklyn’s newest and hottest line is the one outside of Laurel Bakery, a very green Cobble Hill spot from the team behind Place des Fêtes and the currently-closed Oxalis. In line, you might overhear neighborhood parents discuss upcoming European vacations, and inside you'll learn about the merits of homemade sunflower milk while watching someone behind the counter pipe thick cream into a fresh batch of maritozzi. Skip the sunflower milk, order the $7 baguette and a few croissants, and head to Brooklyn Bridge Park. Or, swing by after 11am for a jambon-beurre." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim
