"In Bay Ridge, Beet & Carrots is a farm-to-table spot with tons of vegan options that make it great for a casual, cozy meal in the neighborhood. Of course, they have their eponymous beet and carrot hummus, but besides that, look for tasty pastas that use seasonal ingredients, like a red bell pepper bucatini with cherry tomatoes and mozzarella, and slow-cooked salmon with green vegetables. The spot is casual, friendly, and a great spot to know if you live in Southern Brooklyn." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, will hartman, neha talreja, willa moore, sonal shah
