Andrew Tarlow's new restaurant across the East River marks a departure from Brooklyn's laid-back vibe, shifting towards stately elegance while maintaining a commitment to quality.
In 1999, Tarlow and Firth opened Diner, which set the standard for the "Brooklyn restaurant" aesthetic, characterized by low lighting, tattooed servers, and locally-sourced meats.
The era when Tarlow and Firth launched their venues was defined by bright colors and vibrant social scenes, yet their approach embraced a more sincere, rustic authenticity.
The transformation of Williamsburg from an overlooked neighborhood to a fashionable dining destination illustrates the evolving narrative of Brooklyn's cultural landscape, heavily influenced by restaurants like Diner.
