Some of the best restaurants are those that have always been right in front of you; that couldn’t be more true of Vinegar Hill House, a standout in Brooklyn’s dining scene since it opened in 2008. Tucked away in an old, cozy carriage house, you’ll find it to be a relaxed eatery that uses fresh ingredients for its raved-about dishes. Better yet? Seated offers up to 9% in rewards for charred octopus served with dill yogurt and lemon and cast iron chicken topped with shallots and sherry vinegar. But, save space in your stomach because rich, Guinness chocolate cake (decorated with cream cheese frosting) is the must-try dessert to order. 

Montesacro (the name of a working-class neighborhood in Rome) aims to pay homage to those affected by the aftermath of the Second World War. Taking inspiration from classic taverns in the region, you’ll find bestsellers like slow-roasted pork, peach salads with whipped ricotta, spaghetti with buffalo mozzarella, and Roman-style pizzas. But the real reason to visit Monesacro is the patio, one of Brooklyn’s best-kept secrets: a covered area with more plants than a greenhouse. Sip on an Aperol Spritz or a Strawberry Mezcalita and pretend like it’s summer for as long as you want. Earn up to 23% in rewards when you book a delicious meal here with Seated.
