April 11-20 is Brooklyn's restaurant week -- Dine in Brooklyn. Close to 200 Brooklyn restaurants will offer three-course meals for a mere $19.55, in honor of the 1955 World Champion Brooklyn Dodgers. The website lists participating restaurants, broken down by neighborhood (how convenient!). Winner of the Time Out New York Eat Out Award for Best New Brooklyn Restaurant, Stone Park Cafe in Park Slope, is on the list and many restaurants are offering lunch specials as well. So, if you're one of those people who treat Brooklyn like a second-class city, get off your borough-phobic ass and go dine in Brooklyn. You won't regret it.
Thanks to reader dirtgirl for tipping us off to this one.

I can barely afford to live in Brooklyn, so I guess I'll have to, uh, dine in.
I took advantage of Brooklyn restaurant week last year and had a GREAT dinner at Patois, which is usually beyond my budget. Well worth it.
JP, Patois is actually within reach if you go on Tues-Thurs. They have a $20 prix fixe.
This year I want to try Bistro St. Marks or Blue Ribbon. Or maybe I'll use it as an excuse to drag some co-workers to Frankies.
I'm baffled by some of the restaurants on the list having a $19.55 lunch. I eat lunch at most of these places on a regular basis for a lot less than that. (Water Street? El Cubanito? hardly a bargain) I guess it includes three courses, but I'd be one sleepy office worker that afternoon if I ate them all. The only place where it's worth going for the lunch is probably River Cafe.
It's possible the lunch specials are less, but I couldn't find any additional information on that.
river cafe isn't even participating. I can't believe these restaurants are charging $20 (cuz lets call a spade a spade) for meals which are normally waaay less.
Er, less than $20 for 3 courses? I think that is an incorrect.
This is in response to the person who thinks certain restaurants aren't a bargain at $20 like Waterfront. I went to Waterfront on Monday and had an amazing deal. I started with a mound of Mussels in Hoegaarden sauce, chile and cumin crusted fillet of perfectly cooked salmon and ended with a great slice of key lime pie. You have to look specifically at the menu they are offering for this deal. Trust me, most ARE worth it.
the info posted on this website is incorrect. it claims that stone park cafe is participating in the $19.55 prix fixe, but this is simply not true. i went there for dinner last night and there was no such offer. the food itself was twice that price and more importantly, subpar. unfortunately, this website's misinformation led me to a very disappointing night.
