Dine in Brooklyn: Starts Tonight!

I've heard varying opinions on the Dine in Brooklyn promotion, mainly that the portions are small and you don't get to try the best stuff from the regular menu.  Whether you're a fan or not, it's a good reminder of what's available right down the street.  (Or hey, be adventurous and try a different neighborhood!) Here are the participating restaurants in Clinton Hill and Fort Greene (I have bolded my personal favs):

B = breakfast

L = lunch

D = dinner
