"Ah, Miss Ada. The internet knows her, the internet loves her. And don’t get us wrong, so do we. We’re not sure how she became the hummus-loving poster child of Fort Greene, but it probably has something to do with the backyard, which feels like a treehouse where you can eat the neighborhood’s best Israeli-leaning Mediterranean food." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah
"Ah, Miss Ada. The internet knows her, the internet loves her. And don’t get us wrong, so do we. We’re not sure how she became the hummus-loving poster child of Fort Greene, but it probably has something to do with the backyard, which feels like a treehouse where you can eat the neighborhood’s best Israeli-leaning Mediterranean food. This isn’t really a stay-for-hours kind of spot, and you might get the sense that they need your table back, now. But in the meantime, order things like grilled octopus and shakshuka, and then head around the corner to Dick & Jane’s for a post-dinner cocktail that will be decidedly calmer." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick
"The plant-filled back patio at Miss Ada in Fort Greene is surrounded by brick walls and murals of people drinking wine, and it’s a charming place to break down the latest episode of whatever Bravo reality show you and your friends are watching. We like to share a bunch of small plates—always the hot pink beet hummus, and also things like whipped ricotta and short rib skewers." - willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick
"Miss Ada is one of the best options in the neighborhood for a sit-down meal, and everyone seems to know it. The dining room hums with life around peak dining times — in particular during brunch. Start with an order of fluffy pita bread and a few shareable dips — whipped ricotta, lamb shawarma over hummus — then graduate to larger plates like a za’atar-crusted salmon or a brick chicken with harissa and preserved lemon. The team opened a wood-fired seafood restaurant, Theodora, in the neighborhood." - Emma Orlow
"Miss Ada recently reopened its back patio for the summer, and that’s a piece of information you should stare at for as long as it usually takes you to commit something to memory. The partially-covered space in Fort Greene has a bunch of hanging plants and brick walls with big murals of people drinking wine, and it’s one of our favorite places to eat outside in Brooklyn. It’s especially nice at brunch, when this Middle Eastern spot serves some excellent dishes from its dinner menu, like sweet whipped ricotta that could be an appetizer or dessert, as well as brunch-specific things, like french toast with labne mousse and shakshuka with pita right off the grill. They only do brunch on weekends, and it’s usually not even worth trying to come without a reservation, so plan ahead. The chocolate babka and harissa Bloody Marys are worth it." - nikko duren
