I've never been in Brooklyn before, and could use some recommendations for everyday eats ... that is, cheap and good. Good pub suggestions welcome as well. Thanks.

Tue May 03 07:56:38 -0700 2005 1307483 0 eeee 2 1307491 i havent been to the atlantic chip shop yet but i assume its as good as the park slope branch...excellent british food (strangely enough). there's a good bar on henry and cranberry that supposedly has great food...my friend eats there all the time. i rarely eat in bk heights proper...only food i can really recommend is on atlantic ave or in DUMBO. Tue May 03 09:06:29 -0700 2005 1307489 0 jp 3 1307501 We just moved to the Heights and have discovered that Fascati pizza on Henry is excellent -- and without the Grimaldi's wait. Noodle Pudding, also on Henry, is fantastic Italian (outstanding homemade pastas) and very reasonable. I've heard that the no reservations policy can lead to very long waits, but we were there late enough it was not a problem. Thai Montague/Thai 101 on Montague and Hicks is also very yummy and pretty cheap. Much better than thai delivery in our old manhattan neighborhood. I second the Waterfron Ale House rec (we were regulars at the Manhattan location), this one is just as good and has live music. The pub on Henry is probably Henry Street Ale House. In DUMBO, Five Front has a creative menu and a great welcoming atmosphere. They have a $20 prix fixe during the week that is a great value. These are my initial thoughts, but i look forward to hearing from those who've been in the nabe longer than I have. Tue May 03 11:04:23 -0700 2005 1307491 0 MAH 4 1307565 You mentioned most the good "everyday" ones... Curry Leaf on Remsen between Court and Clinton is quietly quite good. Monty Q's on Montague between Clinton and Henry is fine for once a month take-out pasta or salad. Don't hate me, but when you're bone tired, Chipotle on Montague between Court and Clinton is perfectly tatsy... I know it can be quite unhealthy, but I get the burrito bowl and have them leave off the sour cream, cheese, beans and guacamole, so I figure I'm getting in the range of vaguely healthy. (let the berating begin!) Mor eexpensive than "everyday", don't miss out on Henry's End on Henry St. near Noodle Pudding... very nice. And that's just the Heights. You live within a leisurely 15 minute walk of 25 other places worth trying in DUMBO, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens and Boerum Hill. As well as a short subway ride from all of 5th Avenue in Park Slope and the up and coming Flatbush/Vanderbilt scene. (Now if only I could work out a really conveninet way to get to Ft. Greene!) Welcome to Brooklyn! Peter Wed May 04 00:36:57 -0700 2005 1307501 0 Peter in the Heights 5 1307567 The most convenient way to get to Fort Greene from the Heights is to take the "38" "25" or "26" bus from Adams Street. It takes you right through the heart of Fort Greene. Wed May 04 08:39:30 -0700 2005 1307565 0 DeeDee 6 1307744 Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. It's a little overwhelming for this country boy from Missouri. And I haven't even started looking into Manhattan food. Fri May 06 18:34:58 -0700 2005 1307567 0 Jordan H. 3 1307632 I HAVE been to the chip shop on Atlantic, and it was a great experience. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and great fish and chips. I split the haddock with my wife, and it was wonderfully crisp without being overdone. The curry sauce (oddly enough, where many chip shops I've visited in the USA fall flat) transported me back to my last visit to Ireland. We took our order next door, to Magnetic Field bar, and two other couples were persuaded by the smell to go back out into a snowstorm and pick up their own. Wed May 04 22:07:16 -0700 2005 1307491 0 The Thin Man 1 1307512 On Montague Street you have some pretty good options that are also affordable. Off of Hicks, Teresa's is good Polish food. If you order an entree, you get a nice portion with 2 sides at a relatively inexpensive price. A nice option there is the Polish beer or vodka. btween Clinton and Henry you have 2 pretty good (not great) options for Italian. One is Armando's, where you can get an entree or pasta with a nice salad included. I happen to enjoy their linguini with clam sauce very much. the atmosphere inside is nothing special, but it is nice to sit outside when the weather is nice. The other option is Caffe Buon Guston, which is more expensive (but still moderate) with a little bit of a fuller menu. Tue May 03 13:16:35 -0700 2005 1307483 0 Matt M.
