It’s best to bring a group to Zauo, the restaurant where diners fish for their dinner. This way there are more chances to try the restaurant’s appetizers and side dishes, in addition to the fish which is available four ways: sake-steamed, salt grilled, simmered in soy sauce, or tempura fried. Note: This is not the place to go for a quiet dinner, with staffers banging on drums each time a fish is caught.

It’s somewhat surprising that the sprawling Sheridan Square brasserie called Boucherie could spawn sush a romantic French Bistro a couple blocks away.

Owner Paul Giannone is known for using creative toppings at this Greenpoint pizzeria favorite.

The soup oracles at Pho Bar (styled PhoBar) offer more than 10 varieties of the Vietnamese staple, including a spicy beef pho, oxtail pho with beef broth, and a vegetarian pho with carrots and daikon. Note: Only the Chinatown location of Pho Bar is participating in Eat for Good.

La Cafette in Williamsburg has all the cute restaurant makings like neon signs, decorative plate ware, and botanical wallpaper; but it also has the standout French bistro classics to back it up.
