Keep posting, boys, I am taking notes as well.
sparklepuff, what type of cuisine are those Brooklyn places in your list?
I updated my Williamsburg shortlist with the types of cuisine served. I can keep updating that thing every time I remember a restaurant, too.

Once again, I take full credit for bringing forumites together. Remember to cheer me over a drink and, of course, give mad props.

PS to all new yorkers: your city rocks.

well i've never been to blue smoke, but i have had virgil's (times square) and it was ok. Not as good as fette sau though IMO. dallas bbq is more of a burger joint that a smokehouse bbq though, so not really comparable.

Hey Homebelly - I've lived across the street from City Hall in Jersey City for almost 6 years! If they're not going to Brooklyn, they sure ain't headed to JC.
There's some good stuff to eat in my neighborhood, but I agree with the Muffin, food is really happening in Brooklyn.
I don't spend $$$ on meals too much, being a single dude who saves most of his money to buy gear and put out records. I can suggest a shit ton of budget ass sustanence I-don't-feel-like-cooking-but-I-don't-want-to-spend-more-than-ten-bucks type places.

nice try but no cigar - NY cannot do decent cue to save its life...

i rest my case.
if you're the type of person that believes that no northerner can do cue, than i won't be able to convince you otherwise...
but if you're not a snob about it, fette sau is very good and likely the most authentic in nyc. I smoke at home, spare ribs and briskets, and their brisket was just as good as one of mine. I smoke my flats for 11` hours and am obsessive about my homemade rubs and mops. I know a thing or two about it.
give it a shot, it's good stuff.

unfortunately 'the most authentic in nyc' doesnt mean shit. we have people in here actually claiming dallasbbq is good eating

I think you are thinking of K & M, Krystyna's & Margaret's. That's around the corner from me, and there are usually more people standing around outside than can even fit inside. That is the hipster hangout. And I grew up on pierogi, I can't get enough of those delicious things.
