The 2nd Annual Brooklyn Foodie Awards
Best Original Concept
Shalom Japan*
Battery Harris
Bergen Hill
Onomea
Take Root
Onomea emerged as one of NYC’s first true Hawaiian restaurants, Bergen Hill offered pristine crudos directly and deliciously influenced by their cocktail list (and vice versa), Battery Harris gave pub grub an Afro-Latino bent, Take Root transferred four-star cuisine to an insistently informal setting, and our winner, Shalom Japan, added sake challah with raisin butter to Brooklyn’s culinary canon.
