NYC Restaurant: Streets

In the past (almost) 6 years of living in New York, I’ve dined at my fair share of incredible restaurants. I must say, though, that I do tend to get stuck in a rut when it comes to stepping outside my usual go-to cuisines. I know what I like…what can I say?

But then a dining experience comes along that makes me think, what was I waiting for?! And last weekend’s brunch at Streets in Wiliamsburg was exactly that.

Sydney and I traded in our usual (arguably boring) avocado toast and eggs Benedict-filled brunch for a meal full of dishes unlike any I’ve had before, in the best possible way. Streets is like a melting pot of cuisines – featuring international dishes inspired by street food from across the globe.

Each dish we enjoyed was better than the last. Here’s what we had.

MARGARITA AMAZONAS
CACHAPA: griddle sweet corn cakes, ham, fresh mozzarella, maple butter
ADOBO CHICHARRÓNES: Fried pork belly, sugarcane vinegar, soy sauce, black peppercorns
THAI DUCK SALAD: Crispy duck confit, orange chilli glaze, green papaya, mango, young coconut water
POKE: Tuna poke on an everything bagel with cream cheese and avocado spread

We really loved every single dish, but the chicharrones were the absolute favorite. We’re talking insanely good – this Manhattan girl would go back to Brooklyn for them alone 😉

The bottom line: if you’re looking for a new dining experience that will wake up your taste buds, I couldn’t recommend visiting Streets more!
