Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens retain a neighborhoody charm that can often feel drained from other areas of Brooklyn, making it a place people head to, whether they’re off to the movies, picking up falafel at Sahadi’s or sipping a Cosmopolitan at Long Island Bar. There’s a lot to take in and a lot of varied cuisines to choose from, whether one’s in the mood for Thai or soul food or Venezuelan. Cinch, the Cobble Hill and Carrol Gardens Neighborhood app, is leading a Taste of Summer Culinary Week between July 11 and July 21. Here, a list of some of the best options in an area stuffed with them.
Sahadi’s
187 Atlantic Ave.
Is there a better store in Brooklyn? Probably not, which is why it’s been around since 1948. From the incredible array of Middle Eastern groceries to the delicious prepared foods, Sahadi’s has been both a neighborhood staple and a destination go-to, perfect for the everyday and when a party necessitates a big spread.
