The Meat Hook is the reason I moved to Williamsburg. This is the best butcher shop in all NYC. The meat is all from local farms. Make sure to try the sausages - we love the Long Dong Bud.

Food Scene

One of the best restaurants in Williamsburg. Be prepared for some long waits. This is also our secret weekend brunch spot. Despite being so popular for dinner, Sunday brunch is quiet, and the steak and eggs is perfect.
