Gowanus is best known for the canal that flows through its heart, which happens to be one of the most polluted waterways in the world. The neighborhood around it, however, is one of the most vital and up-and-coming neighborhoods in Brooklyn: a magnet for artists, delicious food, and creative businesses.
Comfort Noodles
Ghenet opened in Nolita in 1998, and now the brilliant mother-daughter team of Yeworkwoha Ephrem and Sosinna Degefu have brought their intensely flavored Ethiopian cooking to the Brooklyn masses. The menu stars traditonal offerings like Doro Aletcha, a chicken and egg stew, served with mountains of vergetables and legumes on large discs of spongy injera bread. Eat it all with your hands and a bottle of Hakim Stout in a beautiful space with a high ceiling lined with thatch.
