A social staple in what has become New York City’s trendiest borough, Alice’s Arbor celebrates five years in Brooklyn as locals continue to flock to the trendy neighborhood eatery. The location is rustic yet welcoming with eclectic crowds that truly represent the diversity of the town along with a menu that caters to every taste.
American cuisine with a unique flare, they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner while famous for their weekend brunch, drawing lines around the block. The happy hour prices on the high quality house cocktails and beers also draw similar lines as they provide an extensive cocktail and spirits list. Whether it’s the refreshing Maple Old Fashion or the Alice’s French 75 (a local favorite), the bar has plenty to offer.
Chef Mike Franzetti’s European-influenced American cooking honors his Brooklyn roots as well as his experience working with some of New York City’s best chefs. Popular signature dishes include the moist, tender, crispy skinned Sullivan County Farm trout with lemon, capers and brown butter, plated over roasted fingerlings and bright, crisp green beans. Signature sides include the famous macaroni & cheese with pulled pork, maple bacon brussells sprouts, kale salad with avocado, apples, and roasted almonds and oysters from Long Island. If you’ve somehow managed to save room for dessert, the famous sweets include Mike’s cheesecake with raspberry coulis, vanilla chia pudding, and apple crisp with Blue Marble ice cream.
If the stellar food and drinks aren’t enough to make you love Alice’s Arbor, their commitment to the community and local businesses will seal the deal. They believe in a farm-to-table concept getting all their meats and produce from local farms.
