Walter's
166 Dekalb AveGreat brunch, possibly the best brunch in Fort Greene
INCREDIBLE pizza and possibly the best burger in Brooklyn, if not New York City. Get there early though, there's always a line. Put your name down and grab a drink at Hop Hills while you wait.

Best Ramen in our neck of the woods. It's always crowded with a 45 minute line (at least) but I've never been unhappy with eating there. I suggest putting your name in and then grabbing a drink at Woodwork while you wait.
