Buschenshank Brooklyn

Slice king James McGown, of the South Brooklyn Pizza chain, opens this Northern Italian–style farmhouse tavern. To drink, choose from German and Italian beers (Paulaner Hefeweizen, Moretti) and wines (rieslings, soaves). Offset the boozing with hearty grub, like fresh knödel (dumplings), sausages and cured-meat boards, including cuts of speck, Westphalian ham and Lachsschinken.
