Mama's Food Shop (CLOSED)

This comfort food-joint, an East Village fave since 1995, opens an outpost in South Williamsburg. Chow down on fried chicken, bacon-wrapped meat loaf and corn bread, plus specials, like sloppy joes or spaghetti and meatballs, based on recipes contributed by staff members' mothers. Vegetarians can opt for their own platter of three sides, including options like mac and cheese, summer squash and beet salad.
