Miriam Restaurant

"None of us will probably ever be as healthy as the Whole Foods-only-diet babies of Park Slope. But if you’re in the area and want to compete with them, get some Israeli mezze plates or some fish at Miriam. It’s walk-in only and gets way more crowded at brunch than it does at dinner. So come with a friend or a date, sit at one of the hightops, and split some roasted cauliflower and hummus." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, will hartman, neha talreja, willa moore, sonal shah

"Miriam is a restaurant located in Park Slope where people gather for outdoor dinners and discussions. Recently, a trio was seen expressing their election-related frustrations over dinner and drinks here." - Alexis Benveniste

"Miriam is most popular at brunch, which they do every day, but it’s not one of those spots filled with people who are more interested in seeing how many mimosas they can drink in 90 minutes than what they’re actually eating. This Israeli spot makes some truly excellent brunch dishes (get the burekas), and the environment is homey but still lively. The two-tops and bar seating work well for dates, but the food here is shareable and the tables can be pushed together, so keep it in mind for group hangs as well. Just expect a wait for brunch on weekends." - Matt Tervooren

"This Israeli restaurant in Park Slope has a live band playing almost every night, which should only make your crispy lamb arias and barley risotto taste better. They don’t accept reservations, but you can stop by and grab a table between 10am and 10pm every day." - hannah albertine

"Say hi to the holy grail of Park Slope brunch, with all the rustic wood details and globe lighting fixtures of a Pinterest-perfect restaurant. Whether you're looking for your usual french toast and benedicts, or you’re bored of all that and want something next-level, Miriam is here for you. This Israeli spot makes some truly excellent Mediterranean dishes (get the burekas), and the environment is homey but still lively. For those who want to party, get a pitcher or three of sangria." - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman
