replying to u/Neptune28: Where are the restaurants that look like Mars 2112? More creative designs?
“Cafe Mars in Gowanus is an insane maximalist Italian joint and is quite solid in its own right.”

replying to u/Flatbush_Zombie: I think you need to clarify what you mean by oddest. Oddest food as in rare or unusual cuisine or food item you won't find elsewhere? Oddest food as in strange combination at one specific restaurant? Oddest as in unique to New York cuisine? There are restaurants here that serve food you won't find anywhere else than the region or country they originated in. A great example is the Koryo-saram restaurants in South Brooklyn that serve the food eaten by Koreans in Uzbekistan. There are restaurants that have utterly bizarre creations unique to them, like Cafe Mars and their negroni jello olives. And then there are restaurants that are serving iconic and unique dishes of New York like the Sicilian pies at L&B Spumoni Gardens.
“I second Cafe Mars! although much of the menu is less far fetched as the olives, it's still a wonderful experience”

“They do a few interesting service tweaks that just really make it stand out and the food is shockingly good. Different combinations. The salad, bass crudo, waves, chicken liver, octopus are all not to be missed.”

“Yes!!! If the appetizer of an olive encased in a cube of Negroni jello isn’t creative enough for you I don’t know what to tell you”
