The Bedford

This Williamsburg farm-to-table restaurant wasn't modest when they decided on a name. The surprisingly chic spot's moniker, The Bedford, is of course coined from the street that has come to define Williamsburg. It's easy to see how this North Side spot might come to epitomize everything that's so excellent about the ‘Burg dining scene. They've got a fresh, New American menu with drool-worthy options like pasture-raised burger with gorgonzola and a free-range half chicken. An impressive cocktail list complements the food—anyone who uses Green Chartreuse in their drinks is A-OK in our book (try the cactus cooler). And what would any Bedford hotspot be without a kick-ass bar scene? The Bedford obliges with a back space bedecked with low lighting and lush-looking leather couches. With breakfast service promised in the near future, this is going to be your one stop spot for three meals (and countless drinks) a day.
