Food stuff

Hungry? We've got the lowdown on two very different dining experiences.

Weekends, two Prospect Lefferts Gardens residents turn their backyard into a restaurant. Dubbed Taste of Hawthorne Street, Patrice Carter and friend Doreen Simpson serve sliders, sweet potato fries and corn. Get it while it's hot (and before the city shuts it down).

For a more traditional dining experience, head up to Williamsburg. In the wake of Conos and Sons closing, we give a rundown on the neighborhood's best and most authentic Italian dining experiences. Buon appetito!
