Welcome to the Eater Heatmap, focusing on the hottest new openings in Brooklyn this month.
Eater editors do thorough reporting on the most exciting restaurant openings to hit their city, as well as smaller openings worth having on the radar. In this map, we narrow the field to those places in Brooklyn that are drawing the most excitement, buzz, crowds, and early positive chatter, focusing largely on restaurants that have only been open for six months or less. When an Eater editor has already been to a place, we share insider tips on what to expect and what’s worth ordering as well.
New to the list in June: Williamsburg Korean barbecue restaurant Lalaon; Yellow Rose’s Tex-Mex expansion into Williamsburg; Bark Barbecue’s Bushwick restaurant debut; Northern Mexican-leaning Titán in Dumbo; and Trudie’s Tavern in Carroll Gardens. And, for now, we’ve removed Kelang, Border Town, Confidant, and Pies ‘n’ Thighs in Prospect Heights.
