Our Favorite New Restaurants of Summer 2013
The Bounty
We could easily subsist on shellfish and booze and not much else during summer, which made June the perfect time to launch this Greenpoint bar (or restaurant? it’s so hard to tell nowadays). In any event, it’s from the owners of The Drink, which already holds a special place in our heart for their $43 10-serving punch bowls. And while the Bounty also favors a nautical theme, it thankfully steers clear of overwrought kitsch—no mounted fish, coils of rope, or antique life preservers in sight. Just simple, seafood-centric fare (Caesar salad with boquerones, roasted cobia, fettuccini with clams), accompanied by straightforward cocktails called, amazingly, “whiskey sour,” manhattan” or “negroni.” Imagine that!
