Brooklyn Does Manhattan: A Roundup Of BK Businesses In The City
Mighty Quinn’s
At this point, Smorgasburg has become a breeding ground for Brooklyn’s best and brightest with dozens of alums using the weekly food event as a testing ground for new recipes and a springboard to opening brick-and-mortar locations. Mighty Quinn’s is one of Smorgasburg’s most successful graduates and early last year, Pitmaster Hugh Mangum finally opened a permanent location in the East Village. The place is so popular, that you’d be hard pressed to find a table during lunch and dinner hours. Even the Times‘ curmudgeonly Pete Wells kind of loves it. On a side note: Mighty Quinn’s will soon have a Brooklyn outpost at the upcoming Berg’n beer hall in Crown Heights, so say goodbye to hopping an L train to satisfy your weekday MQ needs.
