Brooklyn’s 10 Best Beach Eats (Ok, Queens and Long Island Too)
Brighton Beach (at Coney Island Avenue)
Granted, the beach itself doesn’t have much going for it foodwise, beyond frozen burgers from a single, ramshackle stand. But the Eastern European enclave is the ideal place to pack a supremely exotic picnic, including containers piled high with lambs ribs, farmers cheese, meat-stuffed pastries, dense black breads and pickled everything from Gastronom Arkadia, or hand-pulled lagman noodles, juicy manti, vinegared salads and foil-wrapped halal kebobs from the Ugyar/Uzbek haven, Café Kashkar.
