Restaurant Recommendations for Queens/Brooklyn/Williamsburgl
 

I'm visiting NY soon and would like some recommendations for places to eat. I've been to NY numerous times and have eaten mostly in Manhattan.

I've read/noted many recommendations for Manhattan for this trip but cannot find many up to date ones for other areas. I've only eaten at the River Cafe in Brooklyn and would like to find other worthwhile places.
Budget - main courses in the region of $30, less would be better, bit more is also ok
Cuisine - love Middle Eastern, Lebanese, Turkish anything like that, actually I can't think of a cuisine that I don't like.
Have been to several Greek & Cypriot restaurants in Astoria already and a fabulous Italian in LIC and Astoria. Thank you in advance!

Turkish-in Manhattan, Turkish Kitchen

In Brooklyn, you would go to a residential and commercial area where there is zero else to see without getting back on the train. Taci's Beyti (I know I grew up in the area.)

For Greek there are two sensational places in the East Village
Taverna Kyclades which is an offshot from a long time Queens restaurant

Pylos-upscale Greek and very different.

For Mideastern food and provisions-go to the very southern part of Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn Heights

Damascus Bakery-been there for almost fifty years
Sahadi spices

Yemen Cafe-is quite good and dishes you probably have not had before

Tripoli for Lebanese

I loved La Vara, Spanish Andaluz so lots of Arab influence. Brooklyn.

Thank you both

I am sorry those stores on are on the most northern part of Atlantic Avenue.

Then if you go to Brooklyn Heights it has beautiful homes and from the promenade, you will the view of Manhattan that has been seen in tens of thousands of movies and TV shows.

Williamsbug was a Hasidic Jewish/Latino neighborhood until about 15 years ago and now it is a hipster haven. There are tony stores and hip restaurants, but the architecture is nothing special

In Flushing, Queens there are probably more Chinese restaurants than in "Chinatown" In Manhatttan. Authentic. Take #7 train. It's a bit of a ride though.

Queens is a very big place. Any particular neighborhoods?

I'm staying in LIC by the waterfront. Have a cousin in Fort Greene that I'm visiting too. Thank you for the suggestions.

In Brooklyn, Taci's and Nargis are always busy, big crowds. I'd suggest Tsob Tsobe across the street. Good food, low prices, no muzak, no Russian oligarch mafia wanna be... unlike Nargis.

Also, if weather is nice, go to Brighton Beach, on the boardwalk.
on 86st, Istanbul is good.

I have not been to any of these restaurants - perhaps locals will comment.

Sunset Park is an interesting area, with more Chinese than Mexican. The other day we had a cheap Chinese meal worthy of Flushing.

You need not go to Arthur Avenue for Italian provisions or restaurants, but it is a fun visit. The restaurants are good old style red sauce joints.

Flushing is the most crowded and has the most choices.
