The 19 Best New Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Swoony’s is the second restaurant from the people behind the criminally charming Cafe Spaghetti, just around the corner in Carroll Gardens. And while it doesn’t have Spaghetti’s picturesque backyard or understated pomodoro, this American bistro evokes the same feelings of nostalgia with its crab Louie and wedge salads. Stacked with fine china and various tchotchkes, and painted in nautical shades of blue, Swoony’s feels like an extension of the neighborhood’s best brownstones. It all works, especially that tender short rib au poivre, and creamed spinach topped with breadcrumbs." - Bryan Kim, Sonal Shah, Willa Moore, Neha Talreja, Will Hartman
