Vinegar Hill House

If its name didn’t already suggest it, Vinegar Hill House is a welcoming and cozy retreat from the bustling Brooklyn streets. The interior features charming touches like antique lanterns, rustic furniture and a colonial flag covering a wall. Vinegar Hill House offers traditional American fare, such as cast-iron chicken, blue corn cornbread with spicy honey butter and a rich cream cheese–frosted Guinness cake. During the summer months, reserve a table in the restaurant’s backyard garden.
