Ethiopian stews, injera bread, and vegan options
"An Ethiopian staple in Gowanus, this restaurant — once featured on Billions — has permanently closed; it was known for its chicken doro wett alongside other traditional dishes." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Ghenet opened in Nolita in 1998, and now the brilliant mother-daughter team of Yeworkwoha Ephrem and Sosinna Degefu have brought their intensely flavored Ethiopian cooking to the Brooklyn masses. The menu stars traditonal offerings like Doro Aletcha, a chicken and egg stew, served with mountains of vergetables and legumes on large discs of spongy injera bread. Eat it all with your hands and a bottle of Hakim Stout in a beautiful space with a high ceiling lined with thatch." - Hyperakt
"This casual spot on the border of Park Slope and Gowanus is a reliable choice for group dinners, especially if there are vegans in the mix. Big windows let light in under a faux-thatched ceiling, and booths make it easy to get cozy around a bunch of delicious food. We always go for the combinations here—the vegan option is $99 for four people and comes with four stews—because it’s such a good deal." - carina finn koeppicus, hannah albertine, nikko duren, sonal shah

"Littlefield is an all-around arts venue in Gowanus, but they have a bunch of comedy events every week (like Butterboy Comedy on Mondays and other various shows with headliners you’d recognize from sitcoms or the D train). For something quick and casual, try Ghenet. This Ethiopian spot is open every day, but they close at 11pm on the weekends and 10:30pm during the week - so it might be wise to have a meal here before the show." - hannah albertine
