Fitz on 4th

"Mother-and-son team Alison Fitzpatrick and Alex Soto’s Fitz on 4th is a vegan tapas restaurant that focuses not only on unstuffy vegan dishes but also on interesting vegan cocktails. The duo encourages everyone to eat at least one vegan meal per week, and their Queen Village spot makes it easy with the likes of edamame dumplings and cavatappi pasta tossed with foraged mushrooms, herbaceous olive oil, and cashew cheese." - Ernest Owens, Grace Dickinson

"Fitz On 4th is a relaxing plant-based restaurant with lots of greenery and loungey earth toned couches that give you the feeling that the only thing that could rush you out is the Meter Up app. This makes the intimate space the opposite of South Street’s chaos nearby. When dining here on a casual weeknight, go for the edamame dumplings, chickpea meatballs, and sweet potato rigatoni; you won’t have any complaints. Most dishes are large, so bring a friend who doesn’t mind splitting things and gets super jazzed about mushrooms (there are lots on the menu). " - candis mclean, alison kessler

"Whether you’re craving a full-blown meal or can only stomach a snack, this 4th Street staple serves it all. Get some solace from the stewed white beans on toast, topped off with an egg; a buttermilk biscuit with jam; or the hearty (and Instagrammable) roast beef sandwich au jus served on a housemade hoagie roll. Order online for pickup or delivery. Heated outdoor dining is also available." - Jillian Wilson

"Check Hungry Pigeon’s Instagram to see what’s new on its “apocalypse brunch” menu. The Queen Village spot, known for its weekend brunch in pre-coronavirus times, has been featuring house-made ice cream in chocolate, vanilla, and vegan chocolate, plus a paw paw sorbet. Order online for pickup." - Sarah Maiellano
