I love to pretend that I live in suburbia (instead of in the middle of a concrete jungle island). As a result, Ken and I tend to drive more than the average Manhattanites (we are very lucky to have access to a car — life changer, I must say). It is a fun activity to hop into the car, drive downtown to dinner, explore areas that are hard to get to, and explore other boroughs. One of our absolute favorite field trips is to Red Hook (a remote area in Brooklyn on the water — very warehouse-esque, hip, and modern) and eat at an excellent restaurant called The Good Fork. The Good Fork is owned and operated by a couple who live close by to the restaurant with their family. The husband manages the restaurant and the wife is the head chef. Not only is the food memorable and delicious, but the service is superb, the ambiance low key and cozy, and the overall atmosphere is lovely, familiar, neighborhood-esque and chill. Nothing better than a drive over the Brooklyn Bridge to enjoy an excellent meal in an intimate setting.
The Good Fork is located at 391 Van Brunt Street in Brooklyn. To read more about the restaurant, go here. It is worth the adventure. You will not be disappointed.
Have a great weekend!

love the good fork! also love baked just up van brunt!
Baked is one of my favorites! But have cut back since I am decreasing my sugar intake!

Really liked the shot of the Good Fork. Rather than a RR car it looks to me like a restaurant in historic Jacksonville, OR. Great old brick wall.
Ha! Good one, gary!
