The Best Restaurants In Bed-Stuy

"Eating at Dept. of Culture, a Nigerian restaurant that serves a $75, four-course meal, is one of the best nights out you can have in Bed-Stuy. Turns out, sitting at the communal table, drinking (complimentary) white wine out of tiny Ikea glasses, and talking to strangers might be the best way to do a tasting menu. Between each course of regional specialties from Kwara, the chef will tell stories about his personal connection to the spicy pepper soup or homemade Nigerian cheese you’re about to eat. You'll always hear a record spinning, and there’s a BYOB policy in addition to that free wine. " - neha talreja, nikko duren, bryan kim
