Dining Out in Brooklyn

by Katie Skrzek

Apr 12, 2019

My husband and I recently visited some friends in Brooklyn. During our visit, we explored some of the borough’s unique dining offerings.

We arrived at our friends’ apartment to drop off our bags, then made our way to Industry City, a dining and entertainment complex in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park neighborhood. While there are many dining and drinking options here, we went to Japan Village for lunch. We each ordered a few different dishes from the vendors to sample a variety of the cuisine. Pork katsu, okonomiyaki (savory Japanese pancake) and kimchi pickles were standouts. We walked around some more and eventually made our way back to our friends’ neighborhood to stroll through the park near them.

We met more friends for dinner at Werkstatt later that night. The cozy restaurant serves Austrian-inspired dishes. We split some appetizers, including Brussels sprouts and meat and cheese. For my main course, I enjoyed chicken schnitzel. My husband and I split apple strudel for dessert.

The next day, before heading home, we met other friends for brunch in the DUMBO neighborhood. Atrium DUMBO has a French-inspired menu, with plenty of breakfast classics. After splitting biscuits for the table, I enjoyed an omelet with ham, gruyere and mushrooms. Though simple, it was perfectly prepared.

Trying new foods and restaurants is one of my favorite activities with friends, and this visit was no exception.

Meet 5 Women Shaping the Brixen/South Tyrol Travel Experience

Although a destination’s terrain, cuisine and cultural attributes always draw travelers in, it is often the people they meet that make the trip an enduring memory rather than a box to be checked off. It’s a job responsibility that people working around the Plose and adjoining town of Brixen (in Italy’s Trentino-Alto Adige region) take seriously. This is even more true for five women dedicated to introducing visitors to new aspects of the time-honored ski, leisure and hiking mountain destination in the Dolomites.

Mindfulness City in Kingdom of Bhutan Unveiled as Future Economic Hub

In front of an audience of 30,000 Kingdom of Bhutan residents and officials, His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck presented his vision for a new economic hub in Bhutan. Located between India to the south and China to the north, Bhutan is one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. Bhutan came late to global tourism. It opened its borders to international visitors in 1974 and, while tourism definitely increased, residents are enduring “light” rush-hour traffic in Thimphu, its capital city, as the only Asian capital without traffic lights.

Amansara Review

It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
