Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop. Last week we went to Chelsea and now we're making our first foray into the borough of Brooklyn. But don't worry, we're only going one train station into King's County (this time). Though DUMBO has a booming population of both workers and residents, its food options are still not quite as all-encompassing as one might expect. But that doesn't mean they aren't there. So sit back and let's take a quick tour of four spots roughly a block away from the York Street F stop.

Inside reRun, A Movie Theater You Can Drink In
There's probably a perfectly reasonable, Puritanical explanation as to why we can't drink beer and wine in movie theaters, but whatever the reason, we're tired of sneaking in our own six pack and waiting for a big on-screen explosion every time we want to crack open another lukewarm one. But finally, a new screening room has opened to take away the shame of brown-bagging it in movie theaters: Jason Stevens, the owner of reBar—that big, handsome gastropub in DUMBO with the killer polenta—is opening a small, 60-seat movie theater with a bar inside his bar. It is called reRun.
Eat Cetera: Cocktail Classic, The Hunger, reBar's New Menu
Click on the images for details on this week's Manhattan Cocktail Classic, former Top Chef contestant Camille Becerra's pop-up restaurant The Hunger, and reBar's new chef and new Spring menu.
New Restaurants on the Radar: reBar, Kif, Warren 77
reBar: This spacious bar/restaurant isn't new, but the chef and the menu are, so it's worth a mention for those making dinner plans in somewhat dining-deprived DUMBO. Self-described hippie owner Jason Stevens, who quit his job trading mortgage-backed securities at Merrill Lynch just before the crash, opened reBar in December 2006 in an old tea warehouse dating back the later 19th century. With an elegantly weathered, post-industrial design by the same guy who did the Zipper Factory Theater (RIP), the place has become a favorite watering hole for the locals. ($2 pints from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.!)
