Best new Brooklyn restaurant
Alchemy
Other nominees: Elementi, Fette Sau, Hibino
Medieval alchemists tried turning lead into gold. Park Slope’s Alchemy transformed a hardware store into a London-style gastropub, and you’ve deemed it Brooklyn’s preeminent new eatery. The formula is simple: Fill a brick-and-weathered-wood room with deep booths and filament bulbs, toss in locally brewed beer, add a secluded backyard and fashion lofty pub grub that rivals the fare at the Spotted Pig. Curried fried calamari and tempura-crunchy fish-and-chips appease the hunger of Brooklynites from lunch to late night, while Guinness-flavored pancakes set the gold standard at breakfast.

definately a place that many locals go. outside seating can be nice if you can get one. tab is always reasonable. everything else like service and food is EH. i have left with my party before ordering because the host/waiter was just plain rude and obnoxious. frankly, they need to get over themselves... but i guess as long as ppl keep coming.

Apparently the readers of this magazine have no BBQ experience whatsoever if they think hill country is the best! I know there is a shortage of good BBQ in NYC, but even Dallas BBQ is better than this overpriced garbage chain! Daisy Mae's, RUB, hell, the mcRib is better than hill country! If you like paying 10 bucks for a mexican coke that tastes like every other coke in the world, and carrying a bunch of subpar smoked meats all over a buffet restaurant then by all means, enjoy!
