Vinegar Hill House

Nestled near the waterfront, adjacent to DUMBO, is local farm-to-table neighborhood spot, Vinegar Hill House. Opened in 2008, the eatery is known for their idyllic wood table-strewn outdoor patio (perched beneath a cherry tree), hearty American-influenced fare, and bespoke cocktail menu. Guest favorite entrees include the Red Wattle Pork Chop (cheddar jalapeño grits, pork jus); Rigatoni (lamb ragú, pecorino); and Cast Iron Chicken (shallots, sherry vinegar jus). The cream cheese frosting-topped Guinness Chocolate Cake is a can’t-miss on the dessert side. For beverages, drink choices range from specialty cocktails like the Rose Blossom G&T (gin, rose blossom, cardamon, tonic water) to a lengthy list of wine and locally-sourced beers from breweries like Threes Brewing in Gowanus.
