Flatbush Avenue Park Slope/Prospect Heights
Franny's: I wish I didn't love it so much, cuz it's not cheap. But every time I go, I am impressed all over again. They source ingredients in the best possible way. Their staff is extremely nice and knowledgeable. Their wine list is extensive and the staff nearly always direct you to a good match. My recommendation: share a range of the vegetable-based appetizers, since they are the most creative, always reflecting what is in season. Then, get a pizza (my two favorites: provolone picante, clam). Some people love the pasta, which is made in house. Personally, I'd stick with appetizers and pizza. And always, always end with the panna cotta. No reservations, so expect to wait. For 2, sometimes you can get seated at the bar with less wait- and it's a bit quieter there than in the back. In summer, nice back garden too. 295 Flatbush Avenue at Prospect Place.
Brooklyn Larder: Franny's opened this shop with some great ingredients- olive oil, bread, cheeses, etc. Also some simple take away food. 228 Flatbush near Bergen St.
Flatbush Farm: This is another Farm to Table go-to spot. Organic and really nice food. Good for brunch, lovely outdoor garden with tables, and split between a restaurant and bar. You can order from both menus at the restaurant. I really love their burger, deviled eggs, and they have nice cocktails. 76 St. Marks at the corner of Flatbush.
Geido: This is a solid sushi/japanese restaurant in Brooklyn. Interesting mix of sushi and cooked Japanese food. Very quirky. 331 Flatbush near Prospect Place.
Christie's Jamaican Patties: 387 Flatbush at 8th Avenue. When I need a hearty snack and I'm on the run, I stop by here for a patty. For $2.50 you can get a savory, delicious snack. Also, the coco bread is delicious.
