Francie

"At first glance, this Italian restaurant in a converted bank on Broadway might look like a country club for the old-money millionaires of Williamsburg, but it’s actually more of a casual-fancy spot where 30-somethings in designer jeans bring their toddlers for Tuesday night sundaes. Yes, you can order four-figure bottles of wine and a dry-aged roast duck here, but you can also get a few glasses of wine and a half-dozen oysters. Put on your best outfit, and get ready for a truly fun night, starting with a top-notch martini poured into a chilled glass tableside." - willa moore, neha talreja, bryan kim, will hartman, sonal shah

"Crown Of Duck If you’re having a big night out at Francie, get this incredibly juicy duck breast. The skin is perfectly crispy and the meat is some of the most tender we’ve had anywhere in the city. Each order costs $98 and comes with three rich sides: soppressata jam, swiss chard, and mashed parsnips." - team infatuation
