Dinners in Fort Greene, Brooklyn (Mostly Solo)
So it seems that I might be in the Fort Greene area on a regular basis right at dinner time.
Anyone have good suggestions where I can have a good dinner for one? This would be for weekday nights, cheap and quick is preferred, but not required.

The General Greene can be good although its sometime's inconsistent. The Smoke Joint is not the best bbq in the city but its good if you're in the area.

ps I don't think I'd call the General Greene cheap.

I second the Smoke Joint recommendation. It's good, and you can sit at the bar. I've eaten there on my own with a book and enjoyed it.

Also, there is Burger 67, which is decent too.

Both are meaty, but you can order a veggie burger at 67.

these all fit the criteria, some ares
buff patty on myrtle (btw adelphi and clermont): caribbean, i recommend jerk chicken wings.
farmer in the deli (myrtle at adelphi): excellent basic sandwiches for under $5. an open secret, but not to stay just take out.
smooch (carlton at dekalb): coffeeshop with full food menu
manee thai (myrtle btw adelphi and clermont). the quietest of the 3 myrtle thai joints and my favorite of the 3. my go to is pad kee mao with pork or tofu for about $8.
tillie's (dekalb and vanderbilt) has some decent sandwiches and panini's
andy's diner (dekalb btw clermont and vanderbilt) typical decent diner food. a counter for eating solo
67 Burger (lafayette): good for eating alone (order at the counter and no real tipping necessary) and pretty good. fries never arrive at the same time as your burger though...
General Greene burger is the best in the hood (IMHO) $11, comes with greens.
Graziella's (vanderbilt btw dekalb and willoughby) is sports bar-y enough to eat alone and not feel weird. great pizza and cheap enough if you get a basic pie
rice (dekalb and washington park) - tiny portions but nice to sit there.
catherine's cafe (dekalb a bit further east from rice): a mix between diner/czech ethnic/coffee shop with a flatscreen thrown in for good measure. free wifi and bottomless good coffee. This would actually be my #1 for dining alone with the most extensive freshly prepared menu in the most comfortable environment. tillie's isn't big on fresh food and smooch is overpriced and leans toward the pretentious sometimes.
have fun in the best hood in BK!

i love kif in for greene. moroccan, wonderful friendly staff and delicious food. prices are reasonable (note portion size tends to be hearty)
