GQ Calls Brooklyn 'The Coolest City on the Planet'

Hot on the heels of Sam Sifton calling Per Se the "best restaurant in New York," today GQ's Alan Richman declared his "best restaurant in New York": the three Michelin-star The Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare. And spent a whole paragraph (152 words) explaining why.

This is part of the GQ feature "Brooklyn is the Coolest City on the Planet" — but Brooklyn is not technically a city? Anyway, in the feature, Devin Friedman, Alan Richman, Oliver Strand, and Brendan Vaughan write about things like breakfast, coffee, and "fine-ass dining."

Curiously, last month in a story about M. Wells in Queens, Richman lamented about the sad state of hipster dining: "Here in New York, with our restaurants tumbling into informality, a guest can easily become a casualty of incompetence." So according to the geographically-challenged Alan Richman, Brooklyn: IN. Queens: OUT.
