Unrelatedly, the corner was also known for a beloved pupuseria called Amanda’s Kitchen, once home to some of the most authentic Salvadorian fare in the borough. Here’s a hot tip with some backstory: Andrew DellaPietra has been running a colorful dental practice for some time on the corner of Knickerbocker Avenue and Maria Hernandez Park, where he’s known to attentive locals for his taste in elaborate seasonal window displays. Tikal Café is located at 1312 Decatur Street. But don’t take my word for it, take the testimony of our own Jackson Schroeder, who called it “an affordable and luxurious spot for locals to grab a fresh coffee and a delicious, healthy meal.” On the corner of Decatur and Knickerbocker, you’ll find a new all-vegan cafe that opened to great fanfare last month: Carolina Hernandez’s Tikal Café. The bright yellow exterior manages to make the auto dumps across the street look a little bit more like they belong on Bedford Avenue. Nhà Minh is located at 9-15 Wyckoff Avenue. Lovers of seafood in sandwich form will find lots to discover, including bahi mis filled with smoked trout, grilled shrimp and the ‘catch of the day,’ in addition to more traditional offerings. This time, it’s a bahi mi joint called Nhà Minh, which used to be in Williamsburg, but soft-opened its new home on Wyckoff Avenue back in April where the bright yellow exterior manages to make the auto dumps across the street look a little bit more like they belong on Bedford Avenue. Once, for instance, it was a vegan popup that sold seitan sandwiches. The Drunk Crab is located at 68-17 Forest Avenue.Įvery so often, it seems like the place that was once the cafe in Trans Pecos becomes something else. The ideas come from a chef named Jean Piere who, according to their website, is “inspired by the traditional cuisine of Louisiana” and likes to give it “an Ecuadorian touch.” This is old fashioned, unpretentious fun: the brochetas go for $7 a stick but, for $150, you can also get a lobster-fronted meal fit for four. Gentrification-watchers will be pleased to discover little in common between the EDM-lite and laminated-menus over here and, say, the handsome village of newish Kermit Westergaard-designed properties across the street. It was a rainy, Thursday night on Forest Avenue when a shuttered party supply store (RIP H & A Party Place!) went the way of the neighborhood and became another restaurant: a patio-fronted affair called the Drunk Crab, where yes there is a cartoon of the joyful creature, waddling around dangerously, suds in hand. I thought all the desserts were delicious! I tried the panna cotta, tiramisu, and chocolate souflee.With the ongoing pandemic’s impact of dining slowly diminishing, the number of new restaurant and bar concepts can sometimes feel like it’s skyrocketing, so here’s a report on some of the latest places that have come to our attention. The flavor was still good, but I'll probably stick to a more traditional pizza next time. We asked our waitress about it and she confirmed that is just how this particular pizza is. The pizza definitely needed to sit for a few minutes to harden up, otherwise all the cheese fell off when you tried to cut a slice. I've never had stracciatella cheese before, and wasn't aware how watery it is. The flavors blended well together, and the beets weren't too overpowering. The prosciutto was very good, however since both the bread and meat were salty, it would have been nice to have it paired with fruit or something else for sweetness. We had the prosciutto appetizer and the rocket salad to start. Some of the long tables could accommodate larger groups, and there were a lot of families with children while we were there. There are no umbrellas or awnings to provide shade, so it might not be a good option in the middle of the day or when it's very sunny, but it was a good option at night.
They've created a small outdoor area in the parking lot behind the restaurant. I was excited to try Houdini Pizza Laboratory based on all the excellent Yelp reviews, and I will definitely be back! The check-in discount for Yelpers is also a big plus.
