"Grand Army feels like a casual neighborhood bar—except you can't get a three-tier seafood tower at just any old bar. The corner spot in Downtown Brooklyn is always buzzing, but it's usually easy to walk in and meet someone for the kind of drinks which could easily turn into dinner. If you're not ready to commit to the seafood tower, try the miso corn crab dip or the lobster roll, plus something off the seasonal cocktail menu." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
