"Over the course of your run, you might become one with the outside world. And when you’re finished, you might not be fully prepared to reintegrate into indoor society. If that’s how you feel, stop by Lighthouse and sit at one of the big picnic tables on the sidewalk. This place is perfect for brunch, lunch, or dinner, and it has plenty of sort-of-healthy options like grilled eggplant and charred escarole that we’d eat every day. That said, we also really like the burger here, and it’s what we get about half the time we come. Whichever route you choose, finish your meal with a slice of pie." - bryan kim
"Healthy Mediterranean options available for delivery and takeout available - call or order online." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"If you ascribe to the idea that if it’s green, it’s healthy, you’re covered here. Lighthouse serves a green omelet that looks like something you’d find in a Dr. Seuss book and tastes way better. Or, if you’re with someone else who’s hell-bent on health, you can direct them to the Big Salad or shakshuka while you go to town on a burger. Regardless, everything at Lighthouse tastes fresh and it’s an excellent place to hide from ridiculous brunch mayhem elsewhere - it’s always laid-back." - katherine lewin
"You know that feeling when you’re introducing your new boyfriend/girlfriend to your family or your coworkers or your cat? You’re really into this person, and a small part of you is terrified that whoever you’re introducing them to won’t be that impressed. That’s how we felt the first time we started taking people to Lighthouse - we knew we had found an incredible under-the-radar spot, and we weren’t ready to deal with anyone who disagreed. Luckily, that’s yet to happen. Lighthouse is the neighborhood restaurant that’s cooking the kind of interesting yet super-satisfying food that’s way beyond anything you’d expect from a regular neighborhood restaurant." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
"In your family, healthy food is just called “food.” And as much as that might have disappointed your childhood friends, you’re used to it. The good news is that everyone (including said childhood friends, if you happened to keep in touch) should enjoy dinner at Lighthouse. The seasonally-focused food at this Williamsburg spot is not only generally healthy, but also really good. Plus, the average price of an entree is around $18." - hannah albertine
