Ever dreamed of opening your own pizzeria? The two amateur pizza-makers at Saraghina, Edoardo Mantelli and Massimiliano Nanni, had a passion for pizza, but no expertise. Mantelli asked friend and pizza-master Michele Iuliano (of Luzzo’s) to teach him the ways. And he learned exceptionally well. The result is something special: crisp but soft dough covered in fresh tomato sauces and oozing mozzarella (not to mention the uber-cool restaurant space). White-washed walls, over-sized posters, and funky glass collections fill the ramshackle building’s indoor space.
Red Hook, legendary former haunt of stevedores and longshoremen (the setting of the classic “On the Waterfront”) has some of the most satisfying eats in all of Kings County. Head to the Red Hook Lobster Pound for some savory last morsels of summer, followed by sweet baked treats at Baked. Next stop is Sixpoint Craft Ales for a tour of the brewery and endless samples before hopping the Ikea ferry to take in views of the harbor on the way home.
Peaches HotHouse serves up some delicious, down-home cooking: fried chicken, waffles, grits, black-eyed peas, fried green tomatoes, and more. Eat with your fingers and wash it down with a tall glass of home made lemonade.
A Canadian yiddish deli, Mile End makes sandwiches stuffed with house-cured meats that are sliced by hand. Try the prime-Angus certified briskets: they’re cured for nine days, smoked over oak for 8 hours, then steamed, sliced, and stacked high on Rye bread. For dessert, head around the corner for a dreamsicle at Blue Marble.
