Eater’s map of hot new Brooklyn restaurants does not answer the perennial questions about Brooklyn vs. Manhattan dining, but it does handily show you 12 new places to try, all of them open less than a year. While you scarf up bone marrow with bottarga at Vinegar Hill’s Hillside or “deli ramen” at Dassara in Carroll Gardens, you can chew on whether, in Eater’s words, “Does Brooklyn have its own unique culinary identity apart from Manhattan? Are all the young, ambitious chefs and restaurateurs opening in Brooklyn these days? And are any Brooklyn restaurants worth the train/cab/boat/helicopter ride from the Upper East Side?” Or, better yet, discuss which of your favorite new Brooklyn restaurants should have made the list but didn’t. Any candidates?
Update: In Zagat’s 2013 listing of best newcomers, one Brooklyn restaurant made the cut: Talde, at No. 2.
