, located 87 Lafayette Ave., is “a perfect location for a romantic dinner before a Barclays Center event,” according to CBS, because of their cozy atmosphere and extensive wine list. Stonehome was a Patch Pick for last Valentines Day, too. Bonus points also go to their sustainably-sourced menu that uses local produce.

, located at 7 Greene Ave., also earns a shoutout for its convenient location near a few subway lines, as well as its “relaxing ambiance with reliable food selections.” The restaurant is closed on Monday, but otherwise serves dinner six days a week and offers brunch on the weekends.
