1 Naked Tomato
Eyal Shani, the chef behind the whole roasted cauliflower you've definitely seen online, opened a restaurant about tomatoes on Williamsburg Wharf. He calls it "a love letter to the tomato." There's tomato pasta, a very large chicken schnitzel, and a mezcal-and-tomato cocktail called the Naked & Tomato. It's also the first of his restaurants with a kitchen counter. Go at sunset and sit near the water.
