A wise person (my mom) once told me that an effective way to make up your mind about something is to make a list of pros and cons, review it, and then make your decision based on which column has the most convincing things in it. I’ve applied that to many important decisions in my life, such as where to live after college and whether or not to buy a trampoline. Today I’ve decided to give it a shot with this restaurant review of Glasserie, so that you can effectively decide whether or not to spend your money there.
Pros:
– Awesome atmosphere. Maybe the best restaurant vibes in Brooklyn.
– Interesting food, influenced heavily by the chef’s Israeli heritage.
– Lots of excellent vegetarian options on the menu.
– Great outdoor/patio situation.
– Square bar, ideal for scoping other patrons across the bar.
– One of the best things on the menu is bread.
Cons:
– One of the best things on the menu is bread.
– Staff is too cool to have emotions.
– Portions are on the small side, especially if you are sharing.
– Lots of hype. Might be responsible for the term “New Greenpoint.”
– Other patrons might be scoping you from the bar.
– Isolated location, unless you live in an abandoned warehouse nearby.
The way we see it, those pros outweigh the cons, though there are certainly some significant cons Ultimately, we like Glasserie. But we might like it for the ambiance more than anything else. If you do decide to go, bring a bunch of friends, and try a few things to share. And let us know if you need help with any of the other big decisions in your life, like whether or not to buy a trampoline. That is a trick question.
