Karczma

There's no better way to soak up Greenpoint's Polish flavors than at this tavern-style restaurant. Slip into a booth, admire the rustic decor, and order sour soup in a puffy bread bowl, pork knuckle in beer, grilled kielbasa (sausage) or pierogi, ear-shaped dumplings stuffed with potato. Weekday lunch specials are mighty filling ($12.50), but allow space for Polish draft beer.
