The Brooklyn Hit List: The Best New Restaurants In Brooklyn

"On our first visit to Dads Bakery, we witnessed a five-year-old patron receive her apple butter bombolone, look up at the baker, and say "I love you, Thomas." If that doesn’t convince you to go to Prospect Lefferts Gardens and get your hands on your own bombolone—an Italian-style donut with a crunchy outside, a soft moist inside, and a not-too-sweet ricotta filling—we’re not sure what will. You’ll find Dads in the space that’s also home to Wizard Hat Pizza—in the morning, Dads makes excellent whole-wheat sourdough bread in the same oven that Wizard Hat Pizza uses for their crispy sourdough pies at night. We've never come so close to saying “thank you” to an oven. " - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, gabe bergado
