A spread from ABC Kitchens in Dumbo. Welcome to the Eater Heatmap, focusing on the hottest new openings in Brooklyn this month. Eater editors do thorough reporting on the most exciting restaurant openings to hit their city, as well as smaller openings worth having on the radar. Last month alone, New York saw more than 50 new restaurants open up. In this map, we narrow the field to those places in Brooklyn that are drawing the most excitement, buzz, crowds, and early positive chatter, focusing largely on restaurants that have only been open for six months or less. When an Eater editor has already been to a place — even if it just opened — we share insider tips on what to expect and what’s worth ordering as well. New to the list in November: ABC Kitchens from Jean-Georges Vongerichten in Dumbo and Third Time’s the Charm in Red Hook.
