New York's Best Cheap Eats: The Brooklyn Edition

New York has published it's always-fun "cheap eats" story, so Gowanus Lounge is doing our borough duty and listing the Brooklyn entries. The magazine defines "cheap" as most of the entrees on the menu being under $20. One can quibble about what's "cheap" and what isn't, but we do know that a bunch of the places below have good eats. Carroll Gardens and Red Hook are the neighborhood winners in terms of the most mentions. All of the Brooklyn entries appear under their "star" rankings, with links to a basic review, plus address and phone.
