I'm meeting up with a few people around 4, but not exactly sure where yet. Here's what we're deciding on food wise, and there's no shortage of bars in Williamsburg .. Hopefully this helps a bit

WEBSITE: www.bamontesrestaurant.com
DELIVERY: Take-Out only
WE SAY: Established in 1900, Bamonte's has the best Italian atmosphere in the hood. Has an old-school, Sopranos feel and is gloriously hipster free. Plus, many of the pastas are homemade. Bamontes effin rules and is a hidden treasure. The best place in Williamsburg to take out of towners. Be sure to make a reservation on weekends. Bamonte's will make you feel like you have gone back in time to experience the authentic American Italian experience in Brooklyn.


Brick Oven Gallery
Gourmet Pizza and Italian Entrees
33 Havemeyer St. (between N. 7th & N. 8th)

WE SAY: Voted best pizza by the NY Press, this brick oven joint boasts that its brick oven is 112 years old. Maybe this is true, but to be honest all we really care about is the pizza and it is pretty darn good. Atmosphere is classic Brooklyn, wood paneling and all, and perfect for a cozy dinner. Italian entrees with often homemade pasta are a nice added bonus.

Falafel Chula
CUISINE: Middle Eastern
ADDRESS: 436 Union Ave., Brooklyn, New York 11211
(Between Devoe Street and Metropolitan Ave.)
PHONE: 718.387.0303
HOURS: Mon-Sat 12pm-12am
CARDS: Cash Only
BOOZE: None
AVERAGE ENTREE:
MENU: http://www.freewilliamsburg.com/bars/archives/falafel_chula.html
SUBWAY: L at Lorimer St; G at Metropolitan Ave
MAP: http://www.google.com/maps?q=436+Union+Ave,+Brooklyn,+NY+11211,+USA&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=addr&om=1
DELIVERY: Yes
EXTRAS: Outdoor dining
WE SAY: The owner of Taco Chula has taken over the storefront and garden formerly known as Uncle Mina. Though not as upscale as its taco counterpart, if frequent dining is an indication of a good eating joint, this one may be our current #1. For the past week we've ordered take out from Falafel Chula almost every night. The reasons: a). They’re inexpensive and quick for a working girl like myself who doesn’t always feel like cooking. b). Their Middle Eastern food is fresh and we can tell they change the oil in the fryer frequently. c). The staff is so nice that it’s like our falafel sandwich is not only wrapped in pita, but packaged with love. Love from a waitstaff is pretty hard to find these days, especially in snarky Williamsburg, so we’re going to take all we can get. We have been having a difficult time moving beyond the Deluxe Falafel sandwich. The roasted eggplant and freshly fried green falafel is some of the best we’ve had in the city. We’ll let you know how the other menu items are when we grow tired of this sandwich. But we suspect it’s going to be a while.

Miyako
CUISINE: Sushi, Japanese, Korean
ADDRESS: 143 Berry St., Brooklyn, NY 11211
at North 6th Street
PHONE: 718.486.0837
HOURS: Mon-Sat, 5pm-11pm; Sun, closed
CARDS: American Express, MasterCard, Visa ($20 min.)
BOOZE: Beer, Wine, Sake
ENTREES: $8 - $17
MENU: http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/miyako/menus/main.html
SUBWAY: L at Bedford Ave.
MAP: http://www.google.com/maps?q=143+Berry+St,+Brooklyn,+NY+11211&ie=UTF8&z=15&om=1
DELIVERY: No
WE SAY: The best sushi in Williamsburg at a reasonable price. The interior is subtly decorated with soft colors and wood benches, providing a very enjoyable and Zen atmosphere. Korean dishes are equally satisfying. Try the ginger tofu or ginger chicken and you will not be disappointed. Flavors are refreshing in their subtlety, as they should be. If you want Thai—go to PlanEat Thai. If you want sushi or Korean- Miyako is the place to be. On the downside: the crab is that fake crap.

A very authentic falafel and humus counter joint conveniently located at the top of the subway stairs. Bring an appetite and a breath mint -- the food is as good as it is garlicky.
