The Restaurant Awards: Or, 10 Brooklyn Restaurants We Want to Talk About Right Now
[metaslider id=31786]
Best Breakfast: Okonomi
150 Ainslie Street, Williamsburg
Think breakfast in Brooklyn and you probably conjure up an image of a two-hour wait outside whatever the latest hot spot is. But think again: We didn’t say “brunch,” we said breakfast. And if it’s the antithesis of the ultra-trendy brunch scene that you want, definitely head over to Okonomi for a traditional Japanese breakfast that will run any thoughts of lukewarm eggs Benedict out of your mind forever. This little sliver of a restaurant on a quiet Williamsburg street offers a simple meal consisting of your choice of whatever fish is on hand that day; a square of egg omelet, lightly sweetened with miso; and a selection of vegetables, pickles, and rice. The next time you hear someone say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, you’ll finally understand what they’re talking about.
