The Ride-Along Report: First Takes From Last Night’s Dinner
"What It Is: A casual Vietnamese restaurant in an attractive Greenpoint space Perfect For: Casual Weeknight Dinner, First/Early In The Game Dates When new restaurants open in Greenpoint, you usually don’t encounter too much of a wait. But when we showed up at Di An Di - a new Vietnamese spot - a week after it opened, it was a different story. We waited over an hour, and the good news is it was worth it. We ate grilled pork summer rolls, sesame chicken salad, a Vietnamese “pizza” with a grilled crispy rice paper crust, and one of the best bowls of pho we’ve had in NYC. We’re already trying to figure out when we can go back and eat it again. The Verdict: We haven’t been this excited about a new Vietnamese restaurant since Hanoi House. It’s now on the Hit List." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
