The General Greene

Former Resto chef Ryan Skeen has taken his famous burger recipe across the river to an almost-famous block in Fort Greene. The General Greene, a reference to a Revolutionary War hero and the hood’s namesake, is owned by pastry wiz Nicholas Morgenstern, who worked with Skeen to craft an interesting small-plates menu categorized as hot (crispy chicken with fennel; candied bacon), cold (roasted beets, iceberg wedge) and desserts (lemon vanilla cheesecake, chocolate pudding). Wine, craft beers and $10–$12 cocktails—including a spiked “Greene” lemonade with cucumber, mint and vodka—round out the beverage options.
