BEST NEW RESTAURANT
Buttermilk Channel
524 Court St., Bklyn
From the maple and bacon-roasted almonds ($3) at the bar, to the freebie honey and sea salt popovers, to the decadent pecan pie sundae ($7), Buttermilk Channel has the sweet-salty balance down to a science. The staff is friendly, portions are hearty (though no entree costs more than $21), and the room is warm and inviting. The long wait for a table is more evidence of this new-ish spot’s sure start.
Egads! The address of Calexico is incorrect – it’s 122 Union Street between Hicks and Columbia!
Of course the best wine bar is called Terroir…alas.
