Food in Brooklyn Heights

A corner diner at Clark and Henry with a counter, vinyl booths and a laminated menu that runs from eggs to a hot open turkey sandwich. Service is quick and nobody minds if you order coffee and a bowl of soup at three in the afternoon. The 8am open and the 8pm close make it one of the few places on this side of Brooklyn Heights that covers a matinee and an early door on the same day.

Mon to Sat, 8am to 8pm. Sun, 8am to 3pm

A small bakery two doors east of Sahadi's that has been baking pita and Levantine pastry on Atlantic Avenue since the 1930s. The case holds spinach and meat pies. Baklava and kanafeh sit beside them, and the bread comes out warm in stacks. You order at the counter, pay cash or card, and leave with more than you meant to buy.

Mon to Sat, 7am to 7pm. Sun, 8am to 7pm

A narrow slice counter on Henry Street with a case of plain and Sicilian and a couple of stools against the wall. It has been on this block since the 1970s and the operation has not been redesigned since. Bring cash and the slice is reheated properly rather than waved at the oven.

Tue to Sat, 11am to 9pm. Closed Sunday and Monday

A long deli on Montague with a sandwich counter down one side, prepared food in the case and a bakery section by the register. You order at the counter and eat at one of the small tables or take it five blocks west to the Promenade. It opens at 7am and stays open to 9pm on weekdays, which is wider than almost anything else on the street.

Mon to Fri, 7am to 9pm. Sat and Sun, 7am to 8pm

A plain storefront on the south side of Atlantic with lamb haneeth, fahsa in a stone bowl and rounds of bread brought to the table without being ordered. Portions are large and the bill is small. The dining area is bright and functional and you walk in off the street at almost any hour it is open.

Mon to Thu, 10am to 11pm. Fri, 2pm to 11pm. Sat and Sun, 10am to 11pm
