The Brooklyn Hit List: The Best New Restaurants In Brooklyn - New York - The Infatuation
"On one hand, it's another seasonal, contemporary American restaurant. On the other, it serves a burger topped with a tempura-fried mushroom (not unlike Shake Shack, if we're being real), and that burger is one of the juiciest in town. Boring as it might sound, Greenpoint's Gator is actually pretty interesting. We're not saying you have to call out sick and sprint to the nearest G train—especially since the liquor license has been delayed—but if you've exhausted all the spots serving little gem salad on your block, and you want to feel something, stop by for some short ribs over coconut grits. As of right now, the little dining room with marble tables and steel-framed chairs, is very quiet." - Will Hartman, Willa Moore, Neha Talreja, Sonal Shah, Tiffany Yannetta
