Brooklyn On a Budget: 10 Cheap Eats at Brooklyn’s Best Restaurants
Aska
This Nordic restaurant located in Kinfolk Studios is easily one of our favorite places to eat in all of New York. But who can regularly splurge on a 7- or 10-course tasting menu ($65 and $110, respectively)? Not us. Luckily, Aska offers a carefully curated bar menu with food that’s every bit as delicious as what you’d get in the restaurant’s proper dining room. We recommend the traditional, Scandinavian-style smoked trout with potato salad and dill ($14), followed by the refreshing and summery rhubarb sorbet ($6). You’ll leave feeling full—stomach and wallet, both—and also good knowing that you didn’t need to worry about making a reservation for dinner, you just sidled up to the bar and enjoyed food from one of Brooklyn’s best chefs. Nice.
