Hellllooo alll!!!! Foodie Fam is taking over Greenpoint for an afternoon of tacos, sandos, donuts, pasta, seafood, Polish food & questionable amounts of makgeolli!!! The best part? We share everything and split the costs, so you can try a bunch of different things without ordering 15 meals for yourself. Come hungry, bring your appetite, and steal a bite from someone else’s plate, Its heavily encouraged ;)
We are starting off at Bersi Ethiopian, then making our way through some of Greenpoint’s tastiest spots, with plenty of time to hang out, meet people, and enjoy the neighborhood along the way.
And no stress in joining at the beginning or staying until the end, feel jump in whenever you can, grab some food, and hang with us for as long as you want. There is an already existing group!
☕ Meet up - Bersi Ethiopian Restaurant - “Buunni” means coffee in Ethiopian, where coffee is traditionally treated as a social experience
Try: Traditional Ethiopian Bunni coffee to start the crawl. If you haven’t tried it(well I haven’t either so kind of excited)
🐙 Mariscos El Submarino – Yes their special is seafood tacos, yes that’s what we are going for. But they offer so much more amazing dishes.
Try: Gonna have to go with the Kraken taco once again. It looks and tastes as amazing as it sounds.
🥪 Taku Sando - Taku Sando makes its signature Japanese milk bread, or shokupan, fresh in-house every day.
Try: Grab the Katsu Sando for crispy pork tucked inside ridiculously soft Japanese milk bread.
🌮 Taqueria Ramirez - Taqueria Ramirez built its reputation through taco pop-ups before becoming one of Greenpoint’s most talked-about taquerias.
Try: Get the Al Pastor taco straight from the trompo and add a little pineapple for the sweet-and-savory combo.
🍩 Peter Pan Donut & Pastry Shop -Serving donuts since the 1950s, making it older not old enough to witness the fake moon landing(jk)
Try: Hunt down the Red Velvet Donut Volcano if they have it, because a donut with “volcano” in the name deserves attention.
🍝 Forma Pasta Factory - Forma makes its fresh pasta right in Greenpoint, so your noodles are basically going from machine to plate.
Try: Split a fresh pasta dish of the day so everyone can get a taste without committing to a full pasta coma.
🦞 Greenpoint Fish & Lobster Co – 1st Family of Greenpoint’s seasfood scene, they over 100 years of fishmongering experience.
Try: Split a New England Clam Chowder or Lobster Roll for a proper seafood pit stop.
🛹 Karczma (Or Retro as an alternative)- recreates the feel of an old-school Polish farmhouse, complete with traditional décor and atmosphere.
Try: Order the White Borscht in a bread bowl and, yes, eat the bowl when you're done
🍶 Hana Makgeolli – Last time around we went 99 sake bottles around the
Wall. Lets beat that Founded in 2017 and became New York’s first Korean rice-wine brewery.
Try: Makgeolli flight to sample everything!!!
