The Cool List: 17 Restaurants That Aren’t “Hot” But Are Definitely Still Cool

"El Almacén doesn’t get nearly as much attention as St. Anselm, but our vote for best inexpensive steak has officially been re-cast for this place. It’s also in Williamsburg, but it doesn’t get as busy. Stop by on a weeknight for some tacos and empanadas, or bring a date for a meal in their little dining room that’s decorated with old cast-iron pans. If it’s warm outside, sit in the backyard." - bryan kim, hillary reinsberg
