Lincoln Station

Anna Klinger, Emiliano Coppa and Jacob Somers—the team behind mobbed Brooklyn destinations Bar Corvo and al di là—put Park Slope and Crown Heights on New York's culinary map with their brand of flawless Italian home cooking and laid-back digs. At this neighborhood delicatessen, chef Klinger brings her European chops to bear on soulful American fare: breakfast egg sandwiches, hamburgers, meatballs and rotisserie chicken. There's no waitstaff, so snag a table in the rustic 30-seat space decked out with exposed roof rafters, custom floral wallpaper and reclaimed bowling-alley wood. If you're grabbing food to go, be sure to fill a growler with one of the local brews on tap.
