The Wythe Hotel has been getting some rave reviews recently in magazines that matter. Located in Williamsburg it is a bit out of the way and not in the most desirable place .It is however well worth the trip for a couple of reasons .
The food is very good and very different.
Arctic Char was served sushi style with yoghurt giving it flavor . Sounded really awful to me but it actually really worked.
The lamb special once again had a lot of exotic combinations none of which I now remember but it was delicious.
The actual restaurant is very cool but unfortunately the acoustics are pretty awful.
The dress code is very casual. If however you did want to dress up you would not feel out of place.
While the wine list is good the beer list I pretty stellar.
If you are lucky enough to visit between Wednesday and Sunday you really do have to visit the roof-top bar.
The view of Manhattan is spectacular and the music is loud.
Definately check this place out if you are in Brooklyn.To make a reservation
Americano at Hotel Americano New York

Americano is located in the Hotel Americano which is a new boutique hotel in the west village .
Nothing very out of the ordinary in the layout of the place. Usual chrome ,glass minimalist look. It does however have a very pleasant small outside patio.
The food was excellent and well priced for new York.
Beef tartar was as good as I have tasted.
Chicken Paillard was interesting while the steak frites was good but nothing special.
The overall experience was very pleasant and the service was very good. Also it is located very close to the new York high line which is well worth having a walk along.
