Brooklyn dining

[aliénor]

we are spending 5 days in october in brooklyn. our place is is in dumbo near cobble hill area.  we need some recommendations for dinners not too far away from our home location. ethnic eating is a plus, but good food is a must. we don't want to go into manhattan.

Dumbo and Cobble Hill are separated by Brooklyn Heights. Are you going to be walking? Any reasons not to go into Manhattan?

[Thanks for the Crepes]

Yes, Mekelburg's. I wish I could go.

 

Here. And here. Also here, and here's a Grub Street report on their amazing take on a stuffed potato!

 

I just had to look at all 261 photos on the Yelp link, and now I'm wresting with myself to not eat something I do not need that would not be as good anyway.  Man, I really wish I could go!

They've (Mekelburg's) also added a late-night menu, with a fried chicken sandwich, served till 2 AM during the week (but only 20 or so a night).
