3 places we recommend in Williamsburg.
$Pizza
Williamsburg, Brooklyn
The burrata slice that launched a thousand Instagram posts. L'industrie's crisp, floppy-in-the-right-way slices have made it the standard-bearer for the new wave of NYC slice shops. There's now a West Village sibling, but the South 2nd Street original is still the one.

$$$Seafood
Williamsburg, Brooklyn
A New Orleans-inflected oyster and absinthe den with a garden out back. The happy-hour oysters and a Sazerac make a perfect Williamsburg evening. Happy-hour oysters run weekday afternoons, and the garden seats are the prize.

$$$$Steakhouse
Williamsburg, Brooklyn
The porterhouse against which all others are measured, served in a beer-hall room that hasn't changed since 1887. Thick-cut bacon to start is non-negotiable. It's cash or debit only, so come prepared like the regulars.
