Hard Times Sundaes
New York Times Critics' PickAt this food truck parked behind a Walgreen’s in Mill Basin, a neighborhood in southernmost Brooklyn, the meat is fresh ground chuck, not some proprietary blend of dry-aged Black Angus cuts. Sea salt and coarse black pepper are pressed in at the last minute. The bun is buttered and charred; the toppings are stacked with Pythagorean precision. None of this explains how good it is. For non-locals, the journey here — by subway, then bus — is long, and worth it. — Ligaya Mishan

Huertas
New York Times Critics' Pick -
Huertas is really two restaurants and two experiences under one roof. In the back is a small, square dining room where the chef, Jonah Miller, serves a set menu of five courses. In the front of the restaurant is an inviting tapas bar, where a different style of eating unfolds.
