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
Runner & Stone is a bakery, a patisserie, a cafe, a breakfast through dinner restaurant, a bar and a thoroughly pleasant place to hang out. It seems like a lot, but they do it all well. The fresh breads are crusty and wholesome and the pastries are flaky and unusual (the brownies have caraway seeds). Best of all, the dine-in menu is Soho-level sophisticared at Gowanus-level prices. Try the pastramied duck or the mackerel, tomato and shallot sandwich- each for only nine bucks!
