Clinton Hill

Miss Ada does some of the most inventive Mediterranean food we’ve ever had, hands down, in a convivial space a block or two from the park in Fort Greene. From the sweet potato hummus with creme fraiche and halloumi with green tahini, onions, and lemon to the tender harissa short rib and—we’re not kidding—the kale salad, the menu is 100-percent winners (natural wine list and cocktails, too).

B’klyn Burro was operating out of food trucks and other kitchens before they landed in their permanent, order-at-the-counter spot in Clinton Hill. Their specialty is S.F. Mission District-style Mexican food. The menu is tight: There are burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and suiza.

This Brooklyn-based suiting shop is the subject of a Lena Dunham-produced HBO documentary coming out this fall (we’re eagerly counting down the days). The concept is to create bespoke suiting for all genders. Not only are their suits tailored with the finest craftsmanship, they’re also filling an enormous gap in the wedding market by creating a bespoke, fitted suiting option for women and non-gender-conforming people, who—for myriad reasons—are not interested in a traditional wedding dress.
