Hi all--so my brother in law is in from london, we were able to score a babysitter for saturday night for a few hours, and are looking to go out for a nice, baby-free meal to celebrate his visit...nearbyish, to make the most of our time.

but, we are thinking, let's do something new for us. there are definitely lots of places we haven't been to, and of course some new openings (new for us=last few years, sadly). any recommendations?

we love, but have already been to seersucker, lucali, frankie's, buttermilk (frankie's is a bit of a trusty standby as far as we're concerned--always delicious).

any places we need to get our collective a**es to? we are pretty open re: cuisine, although we just had lucali, so no pizza.

Go to The Good Fork and get the Steak and Kimchee dish.

Both the restaurant in general and that dish in particular are fantastic.

what about Grocery?

Lots of good suggestions so far. I'd add Convivium to the list.

Flatbush Farm
Chestnut
Vinegar Hill House

And, if you like game/meat, don't mind going to Northern Brooklyn Heights, and haven't been to Henry's End, go there.

I'd rec No. 7 in Ft. Greene - not terribly new I know- but one of the more creative spots in the area foodwise and very good cocktails.
