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

"Bamonte’s is the only restaurant in Williamsburg with a parking lot—and that parking lot is full of SUVs with Jersey plates and fur-coated passengers, three rows deep. Everyone is celebrating something here, just as they’ve been doing since Bamonte’s opened in 1900. Just know that you don’t necessarily come here for the quality of their food, which is pretty solid, standard-practice, red sauce Italian. You come for the giant portions, and a crowd that is so very conducive to drinking about 40% more red wine than you were expecting to." - bryan kim, kenny yang, will hartman
