Most Worthy of a Long Subway Ride

Take the B or the Q all the way to Cortelyou, and you'll be rewarded with soulful chicken adobo, creamy and piquant kimchi pancakes, and exotic Filipino desserts.

Peaches Hot House
The Nashville-style hot chicken is worth a visit, but don't miss the $3 accompaniments, like bacon creamed corn, watermelon salad, and killer collards.
415 Tompkins Ave, Bed-Stuy
Best New Kid-Friendly Spot
Brooklyn Farmacy
Case in point: This retro Carroll Gardens soda fountain hosted three "Egg Cream Socials" for elementary, middle, and high school students. Parents were asked to stay outside.

Best Prepared Party Snack
Kors d'Oeuvres
Korey Provencher's classy and delicious take on onion dip is a guaranteed hit. Pick it up at the Brooklyn Flea, and grab some pumpkin and goat cheese spread, too.

Made with chocolate shavings and served frozen or hot, this dessert-worthy beverage takes a cup of joe to a new level of decadence.

Best New Neapolitan Pie
Paulie Gee's
Paul Giannone, the man who learned to make pizza in a self-built oven in his backyard, turns out wonderfully supple pies topped with rooftop farm-sourced ingredients. Bonus: The restaurant recently received its liquor license.
