Pizza, not just Brooklyn-style, but Bed-Stuy-style. Have you ever had jerk-shrimp pizza?…Probably not. :-)
Note that it’s more expensive than your standard pizzeria.

Bar with a great food selection. Situated in the location of the former Casablanca (storied Bed-Stuy bar), the updated interior is impressive. After success in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, Brooklyn; the proprietors are here in Bed-Stuy, and it’s a great addition. Highly recommended.

Although technically in Bushwick (not Bed-Stuy), it has Bed-Stuy flavor. Brunch on the weekends feels like a small party. And in general, it’s a good looking place with good food. Lots of fun.
