A comfort food classic, this dish never fails to delight and Brooklyn Organic Kitchen did everything perfectly!

TABLA | Follow @tablacatskills

I always love to ask about someone’s favorite dish, and the Tabla team recommended the Crispy Bird. True to its name, it was the perfect combination of crispiness and flavor.

 

BIA | Follow @bia-rbk

Never having ordered shrimp toast before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. This was both visually impressive and tasty, a must-try!

FRUITION CHOCOLATE WORKS | Follow @fruitionchocolate

The combination of a Fruition homemade flourless chocolate cookie and a scoop of Del’s Farmhouse Creamery’s locally churned ice cream creates the most divine ice cream sandwich.

DEER MOUNTAIN INN | Follow @deermountaininn

Food Highlight: Pickled Spanish Mackerel
As part of a six-course dinner paired with Left Bank Ciders, this was the perfect first course—fresh, crisp, and perfectly paired with a cider!
