“The mushroom uttapam has at Lore in Brooklyn has to get a top spot for my list of best dishes eaten in 2023. It’s an insane American/indian fusion restaurant and the dish has shiitake, hen of the woods, tomato chutney, mushroom ragout, and arugula. Divine.”

replying to u/justflipping: Besides the obvious NY-style pizza, bagels, and deli, bodega food, I think of places that exist because of the blending of cultures, growing up in NYC, and the audience for diverse foods. Some examples: Nowon: chopped cheese rice cakes; kinda Korean margherita pizza Sunny and Annie’s Deli: Pho sandwich SYKO: Bulgogi, Egg, and Cheese on a Hero; Syko Fusion Pizza (scallion pancake topped with labne, falafel, cucumber kimchi, and mint) Ivan Ramen: has occasional ramen that feels “only in NY” like a seafood tsukemen with shrimp toast and bisque-like broth Ramen by Ba: Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Ramen; Gravlax Ramen Win Som Bakery: Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Scallion Pancakes Lore: Kimchi Uttapam, Roti Ravioli

replying to u/DrFaustPhD: Tons of options off the Bergen and Carrol stops. June is a great wine bar, boat is a decent dive, Smith Street Pizza has a good slice and arancini, Bobbi's Italian Beef has great hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches. I could go on and on.

replying to u/DorianHistorian: I had one of the worst dining experiences of my life at Lore in Brooklyn. The food was inedibly salty - like, “someone knocked a pot of salt on the food by accident” levels of salty. And they seated us in some weird middle zone where servers just kept hitting us in both sides. Others keep rating it well though so maybe mine was a total outlier.
“I've been for both (brunch several times) and never had any issues with salt or seasoning.”
