Introduction

Welcome to Brooklyn, one of New York City’s five boroughs. New York is famous for its amazing food and insane variety you can find at any time of day or night. You could literally eat at a different restaurant every meal for seven years and still never hit every restaurant in the New York City area. New York also offers door-to-door delivery from almost every restaurant in the city with apps like Seamless, Doordash and Uber Eats. It’s very easy to blow your whole paycheck on delivery because, hey, you might just get a craving for a triple-decker burrito at 3 a.m. and the magic rectangle in your pocket makes it all possible! Since there are THOUSANDS of amazing restaurant choices across the city, we’ll limit this list to the area of Brooklyn around Fort Hamilton. Know what you’re hungry for?
