“Bar Oliver is a really cool, lowkey spot, with beer and wine and good Spanish tapas. The same people do Casino and Casetta as well—all their food is really good. It’s in such a cute little corner, and they've got great outdoor seating for when the sun finally doesn't play games with us and stays around. I get an Estrella Galicia beer and the tortilla española. Their mushrooms were really good the last time I went. And of course, the croqueta.

One of two dishes exclusive to the new Williamsburg location of Fish Cheeks. The plate of three crabs, each cleaved in half, comes with gloves—it might as well come with a fire extinguisher too.

There’s a long, divey bar on the ground floor, and upstairs you’ll find a small stage for drag shows.

Ridgewood has many solid slice shops and sit-down pizza joints. Eat at all of them, but start at Mano’s. The counter-service spot on the north end of Forest Ave. has only been open since 2021, but it’s already established itself as one of NYC’s best. Fermented for days, the crust on their pies is thin and crackly, with big pockets of air. Try the Fulgheri with provolone and sweet caramelized onions, or the Manopella with vodka sauce and swirls of pesto.
