WOW! You've brought back some great memories with that post TB! Michael's of Brooklyn has been a favorite for many years and has managed to stay consistant throughout the years. Defintitley one of Bklyn's best.

We used to frequent another place over on Coney Island Avenue that was off the charts! Nino's. Everything was homemade. You would be there for 3 hours for a meal, but it was really worth the wait.

Unfortunately the old man Nino died. Then the neighborhood slowly began to change. Middle Eastern style food became more in demand because the neighborhood itself slowly changed over from a Jewish / Italian population to a Middle Eastern population. So obviously the demand for Italian Restaurants and Jewish Deli's dwindled down to practically nothing.

At one time I could tell you which of the old Italian Restaurants and Jewish Deli's were the top restaurants in that neighborhood. but I have no idea which of the Middle Eastern restaurants are the top of the line as I have never ate at any of the restaurants there since Nino's, the last of the originals, closed down.
