Seasonal American dishes with a great backyard patio

























"Maybe you always end your runs at the bottom of the park because you like observing wedding photoshoots at the Greek-style building that looks like the Parthenon. If that’s the case, walk down to Krupa Grocery, a Windsor Terrace mainstay with a great back patio. The ricotta pancakes are a mandatory order, but if you prefer something savory, the gnocchi are always a very safe choice. There are also about 20 other things on the menu—like roasted salmon and a hot shrimp burger—so you’ll have plenty of options." - bryan kim
"Located just a block away from the bottom of Prospect Park, Krupa Grocery is the best thing to happen to Windsor Terrace in a long time (possibly ever). In addition to a great backyard and top-notch brunch dishes, it’s also an ideal place to pick up food and drinks for a special occasion picnic. They’ve got a Prospect Park Picnic Box, “Negroni To-Gonis,” and Aperol spritz bottles available for takeout every day." - nikko duren
"“Neighborhood spot” and “mind-blowing food” are two phrases that don’t really go together, but Krupa Grocery is the exception. Dishes like the very impressive shrimp burger, rolled lasagna, and farro fried rice are perfect for a weeknight dinner when you want something a little more elevated than whatever you typically defrost in dire situations. They’ve also got a huge back patio near the very bottom of Prospect Park that’s open for brunch, weekday breakfasts, and dinner every night." - nikko duren
"Breakfast, lunch, and dinner delivery and takeout available - call or order online." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"We find ourselves looking for excuses to make it out to Windsor Terrace to eat at Krupa Grocery regularly. Trips to Prospect Park become even more compelling when you factor in brunch or dinner at Krupa - and we’ve even used it as motivation to go on that long Sunday run so our finish line can be breakfast gnocchi. But people within a several-block radius instead of a several-mile radius are lucky enough to have a spot that essentially anticipates their every need: coffee and pastries in the morning morning, brunch six days a week, two nightly happy hours, and an incredibly good dinner menu nightly." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
