The Brooklyn Hit List: The Best New Restaurants In Brooklyn

"Williamsburg’s iconic Kellogg’s Diner is back (though not yet open 24 hours) to fuel another generation of booth conversationalists with pancakes and chocolate egg creams. But now, they’ve gotten a glow-up involving shinier booths and also a little Tex-Mex twang, like fried pickles as crisp as potato chips, or enchiladas in a tangy tomatillo salsa. The prices are fairly reasonable (a burger is $14), and the portions are generous—but make sure you save space for creative desserts, like a passion fruit curd tart with Tajín-sprinkled meringue. Kellogg’s now has more curated shades of pink than your average steak-and-eggs joint, but it’s still a place where you can while away time over heavy oval plates of deeply satisfying food." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, gabe bergado
