With Eater editors dining out sometimes several times a day, we come across lots of standout dishes<\/a>, and we don\u2019t want to keep any secrets. Check back for the best things we ate this week.<\/p>\n

After drinks in the neighborhood, I stopped into downtown pizzeria Jonny\u2019s Pizza<\/a> for a vodka slice and an ice-cold drink to cut through the mid-July humidity. On a Monday night, the pizzeria was fairly quiet, with just a handful of people bent over the tall stainless steel counters with slices in front of them. After scanning the menu and peering into the open kitchen, the vodka slice ($5.25) caught my eye, dotted with moon-shaped globs of melted fior di latte. The vodka sauce was well-portioned on the slice, with enough of the flavor coming through without it feeling too wet. A light, but still puffy crust held it all together, keeping the slice foldable until the last bite. I only regret not ordering another. 173 Orchard Street, at Stanton Street, Lower East Side \u2014 Rebecca Roland, editor, Eater Southern California\/Southwest<\/p>\n

Moving back to New York for this job is a nice, legitimate excuse to go to longtime restaurants that I\u2019ve never been to, such as this 86-year-old pizzeria in South Brooklyn<\/a>. My husband and I went on a double-date with friends, and ordered the Sicilian pie with half mushrooms and the other half plain. The crust was nice and fluffy, with a bit of sweetness in the tomato sauce that I balanced out with a ton of chile flakes. But the star was the dessert. Obviously, we had to get the namesake spumoni, an Italian icy, creamy concoction with pistachio, almonds, and chocolate hazelnut. We decided to get two orders among the four of us ($17). Gleefully, we were presented with this epically ginormous mountain of spumoni, surrounded by sectioned-up ice cream scoops with chocolate shells, along with all the sweet sauces, sprinkles, whipped cream, and cherries a person could want. There were four sugar cones, so we could each build our ice cream adventure. It was truly magical. 2725 86th Street, between West 10th and 11th streets, Gravesend \u2014 Nadia Chaudhury, editor, Northeast<\/p>\n

This past weekend, summer was fully realized for me through a single dish at Cafe Spaghetti<\/a> in Cobble Hill. After scoring a last-minute reservation to sit under an orange-and-white striped umbrella next to the blue Vespa stationed as the centerpiece of the restaurant\u2019s backyard, it was extremely easy to pretend I was sipping a particularly herbaceous spritz on a summery evening on the Amalfi Coast. Even if the atmosphere was just half as vibey, the perfectly cooked short rigatoni in a creamy and slightly sweet corn ragu ($24) tasted like the best summer has to offer every bite. The next day, as I was perusing the Prospect Park farmers market, I was reminded of the dish over and over again as corn, cherry tomatoes, and scallions burst literally and aromatically out of every stall, truly marking the dish as the perfect summer pasta. 126 Union Street, between Hicks and Columbia streets, Carroll Gardens \u2014 Terri Ciccone, deputy director of audience development<\/p>\n

Some friends and I stopped into Greenpoint newcomer Frijoleros<\/a> and found ourselves extremely pleasantly surprised by just about everything we ordered. The cocktails were bright and complex, and the food was already deeply compelling, for still being in soft-open mode. One standout was a plate of gambas, roast head-on shrimp in a mole-tinged sauce and beurre blanc we were all desperately trying to sop up with our remaining tortilla chips. 131 Greenpoint Avenue, near Manhattan Avenue, Greenpoint \u2014 Jaya Saxena, Correspondent<\/p>\n

Driving home from college in Massachusetts at the end of the school year with summer just around the corner, I took up an annual ritual of stopping at a seafood shack along the Connecticut coast <\/a>to break up the trip. Nowadays, my life doesn\u2019t revolve around semesters, but the craving for a crispy fried fish sandwich ($20) blanketed in tartar sauce and slid into a squishy bun most definitely still hits. And this is where I go to satisfy it. 114 Nassau Avenue, at Eckford Street, Greenpoint \u2014 Nat Belkov, associate creative director<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been trying to get my hands on Betty Jo\u2019s<\/a> since they exploded onto the scene last summer with their pie crust lattice-topped pints. They\u2019ve just landed at Pop Up Grocer, a mini-market near Washington Square Park filled with the buzzy direct-to-consumer brands you can\u2019t escape on Instagram. There are three flavors available: the Sweet Cherry Pie that they\u2019re known for, a Millionaire\u2019s Shortbread with caramel ice cream and shortbread, and Coney Island Queen with sprinkles and bits of ice cream cone. I went with the Sweet Cherry Pie ($13), and was delighted by the cherry and vanilla flavor of the ice cream, as well as the hefty amount of buttery pie crust chunks mixed within. Pro tip: If you don\u2019t see the flavor you want on the freezer shelf, ask if there are any more being stored downstairs. 205 Bleecker Street, at Sixth Avenue, Greenwich Village \u2014 Stephanie Wu, editor-in-chief<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Eater editors dining out sometimes several times a day, we come across lots of standout dishes, and…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":65444,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,9765,16319,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-65443","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-best-dishes","10":"tag-dining-out-in-ny","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-city","13":"tag-newyork","14":"tag-newyorkcity","15":"tag-ny","16":"tag-nyc","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-united-states-of-america","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","21":"tag-us","22":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114852814625168735","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65443","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65443"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65443\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65443"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
