Congratulations and Goodbye, Roberta's!
If you're going to make a great restaurant completely unavailable to eat at ever again, this is how you do it: with Times restaurant critic Sam Sifton blowing off the roof. Goodbye, Roberta's! Now begins the 5 p.m. dinner line-up and the 10:45 a.m. brunch line. You're worth it though! You deserve it! <3 you!
This also marks the ultimate in acceptance of extraordinary restaurants in fairly terrible places. After M. Wells made Long Island City a place to eat, and Roberta's made Bushwick a viable dining expedition, I am afraid to contemplate what is next. We can only pray for Washington Heights over Gravesend.
Go, Gravesend.
FWIW, Gravesend is a perfectly nice place. To get your car fixed.
Speaking of traveling really far to eat at a supposedly great restaurant in the deepest,darkest depths of Brooklyn- SUCK IT, Applewood
@dinosaur_senior Applewood is in PARK SLOPE!!! It's TWO BLOCKS from the F/G!!!
Though I love your attitude. :)
CONGRADULATIONS
Jersey City? (just kidding)
@ericdeamer It took 43 minutes for this joke to be made? Cmon, guys.
Riverdale? (shivers)
Maspeth is just screaming out for crap cooked with salt and fresh ramps.
What you call "terrible" I like to call "next door".
Sifton is just, well, terrible. Join the resistance!–
