The hottest hood next to a polluted canal is getting even hotter with this cozy, rustic, backyarded offering from the dudes behind nearby Littleneck, and the chef at Masten Lake, who's working up a pork chop w/ 'nduja & husk cherries, cavatelli in trotter ragu, and short rib w/ abalone mushroom, aji dulce peppers, and an unaged white cheese named quark, as Gowanus has all the quirk it can handle already.
