A beautifully restored 1950s diner-bar hybrid in Brooklyn that feels like a neighborhood secret even though it's well known. The martinis and Manhattans are textbook perfect, the burger is one of Brooklyn's best, and the atmosphere is warm without being precious. It's a locals' bar at heart — don't expect a cocktail menu the length of a novel.
