"You can feel like you're in a Brooklyn grandmother's cute home while dining out at Gertrude's, the Prospect Heights Jewish bistro where there's a colorful vegetable mural, mismatched floral plateware, bathrooms with sketches of famous New Yorkers (hi, Keith Hernandez), and mirrored shelves with duck objects. Restaurant meme master and chef Eli Sussman churns out good, easygoing New York comfort foods with higher-end touches,"
"The latkes are plump potato fritters amplified with dabs of crème fresh and roe, two to an order. The texture is nice and creamy, without losing the integrity of the latke. Share the Black and White cake, Getrude's ode to the iconic black and white cookie in the form of a six-layer slice, which alternates between chocolate and vanilla. Pickles are often overlooked, but don't make that mistake here."
