Lighthouse is a bright, fresh-focused restaurant honoring local fare and sustainability with intensity. Their should-be-boring food is done exceptionally and affordably. Fostering relationships with local growers allows for ingredients like chicken to brought to the restaurant straight from a farm. Happy hour features organic, biodynamic wine that you probably won’t see on your weekly trip to the liquor store (and all corks are recycled and repurposed). The atmosphere is of a warm, casual California weeknight, charmingly opposing the normal gritty Brooklyn grind. Co-owner and sustainability pioneer, Naama Tamir is obsessive about reducing waste, ensuring the kitchen composts as much as possible. Stop by any time from Tuesday-Sunday to experience the best tahini-dressed grilled vegetables New York has to offer.
