Address: 432 Union Ave Zipcode: 11206 Phone Number: 718-486-7717 OK, so maybe the word Brooklyn makes your eyebrows furrow. But this American joint is worth the trek to the ever-so-hip borough. Just a hop, skip and a jump from the subway, DuMont is sin-gle-handedly luring Manhattanites to the Williamsburg ’hood. (OK, the burgeoning music and art scene may have had something to do with that as well.) The food is scrumptious — you’ll heart the roasted half chicken; the dumac and cheese is rich and creamy; and the burger was so popular, it spawned a sister restaurant devoted to it called DuMont Burger. DuMont’s salads are always fresh, and the staff, while crazy busy, is always polite, except for the fresh pepper guy (FYI, when he asks if you want pepper, he’s not really asking). The charming decor, complete with the specials on a chalk board, a large outdoor patio and two bars, keeps the young, very tat-tooed locals coming. Just be ready for an hour-plus wait on weekend evenings.
