(1) BROOKLYN ICE CREAM FACTORY
The obsessives at BICF make only eight basic flavors (hey, remember plain old "chocolate" and "vanilla"?) but take the time to get each exactly right. Bonus: Grimaldi's Pizzeria (718/858-4300) with its coal-oven pies is waiting just steps away. Fulton Ferry Landing Pier, Dumbo; 718/246-3963.
(2) DRESSLER
The latest from the owner of Williamsburg 's beloved Dumont, this gorgeous bistro goes one better, with bold flavors (striped bass with chorizo, broccoli rabe, and cockles) and equally forceful design (Baroque-style chandeliers, ornately filigreed dark-wood paneling).
149 Broadway, Williamsburg; 718/384-6343; iiww.dresslernyc.com; dinner for two $60.
(3) FRANKIES 457 SPUNTINO
Brick walls, plain wood tables, sultry lighting, and the occasional Hollywood star (Kate Hudson, Liv Tyler, Leo DiCaprio) set the rustic-yet-urbane vibe at CG's hippest restaurant. It helps to have great food, from delectable greens to knockout salumi to a perfect cavatelli with sausage and sage butter.
457 Court St., Carroll Gardens; 718/403-0033: www.frankiesspuntino.com.; dinner for two $65.
(4) FRANNY'S
Yes, the brick oven-fired pizza is fabulous (try the clams, chili, and parsley combo). But the secret weapon is the carefully sourced produce, like the delicate pea shoots served with braised squid, and an unassuming salad laced with powerful herbs.
295 Flatbush Ave., Prospect Heights; 718/280-0221; www.frannysbrooklyn.com. dinner for two $50.
(5) THE GROCERY
There's no flash or attitude at this 30-seat, husband-and-wife-owned jewel in Smith Street's crownjust assured, inspired, greenmarket-based cooking that would fetch twice these prices in Manhattan.
288 Smith St., Carroll Gardens; 718/596-S335; dinner for two $90.
(6) JACQUES TORRES CHOCOLATE
French expat Torres is New York's best and most imaginative chocolate maker; this tiny shop attached to his waterfront factory sells or, rather, exhibits?his artful creations.
66 Water St., Dumbo; 718/875-9772; www.mrchocolate.com.
(7) MARLOW&SONS
Bracing Malpeques, hearty fish stew, and ethereal Spanish tortillas are highlight at this funky oyster bar/tapas joint/ epicerie (there's a shop in front selling featured ingredients).
81 Broadway, Williamsburg; 718/384-1441; www.marlowandsons.com.; dinner for two $55.
(8)THE ORCHARD
The city's finest fruit selection, bar none (it's certainly the most expensive). Stop
in before the obligatory visit to Di Fara, around the corner.
1367 Coney Island Ave., Midwood; 718/377-1799; www.orchardfruit.com.
(9) PETER LUGER
Everyone knows Luger's has the best straight-ahead porterhouse in NYC, but did you know about the fantastic burger served only at lunch? Now you do.

(10) ST. HELEN CAFE
An alluring, vine-fringed patio, a reasonably priced wine list, and earthy Italian cooking (like a great pappardelle with oxtail) make this a local favorite in the SlopeSteve Buscemi's here every week.
