10 Brooklyn Neighborhood Restaurants and Bars Where You Ought to Become a Regular
Allswell
The most important thing, probably, about finding a restaurant to become a regular in, is knowing that top-to-bottom, the menu is solid. This is your new culinary home away from home! You don’t want to have to deal with any duds. But also, you want to have one favorite dish that you can keep going back to, and that you won’t feel like you’re missing out on anything by ordering it again and again. Well, Allswell is sort of miraculous in that way, because the menu is varied and has tons of highlights, so any companions you bring can bask in all the great choices. But you? You’re a regular and so you should have a go-to dish. And at Allswell, you should make your go-to the chicken sandwich. Served on a house-baked sesame seed bun, this sandwich has juicy, flavorful breast meat (yes! you read that right, “flavorful breast meat” is not an oxymoron here), and is one of the most satisfying things you can put in your mouth at any time of day or night. Accompany the sandwich with a beer, and sit at the bar…you’re never going to want to leave.
