Lundy's was a beloved and nostalgic Brooklyn institution, re-known for it's fresh seafood dishes going all the way back to the 1920's. This culinary staple, recalled by many a New Yorker, revives vintage recipes and raw delights such as oysters, lobster, the "shore dinner", bisque and Huckleberry pie, while enhancing "surf & turf" it with sizzling porterhouse steak for two. Between vintage cocktails in crystal - stemmed glasses, live music and tunes from the 40's, 50's & 60's, this throw-back is a definite nod to a former era that speaks of old-world New York elegance and classic hospitality.

Located in Carroll Gardens, Bar San Miguel is a delightful and relaxed restaurant that serves authentic Mexican dishes and fantastic drinks.

Bar San Miguel provides a rustic cozy atmosphere with an amazing back patio to serve patrons quality Mexican dishes, craft tequila, margaritas and mezcal cocktails. Does Bar San Miguel offer the best Mexican dishes in New York City? Well, no. Simply because there is no such thing. However, they do have a fantastic selection of tacos and enchiladas that will more than delight your palate. More so if you are chasing them with tequila drinks with a hint of jalapeno. The customer service at Bar San Miguel is excellent and the staff is very friendly. Ultimately, the restaurant gives you the vibe of a neighborhood restaurant —one where you might meet up with some friends for dinner, have some drinks, and perhaps ponder over your investment strategy.
