The 8 Best Matzo Ball Soups in Brooklyn
Gottlieb Restaurant
The Hasidic Jews of Williamsburg don’t generally get as much food press as their impossibly hip neighbors. But they sure do make a note-worthy matzo ball. “We haven’t changed a thing since my grandparents opened the store, so I guess this recipe is at least 50 years old,” said Gottlieb’s owner Menashe Gottlieb. The price can’t have changed much either; an oversized bowl goes for $3.75. Chicken bones are boiled down with carrots, celery, squash, peppers and “secret spices” to make a super flavorful stock, but the one buoyant ball still claims center stage. 352 Roebling St, (718) 384-6612
