It’s been a pretty great year to eat, drink, and spend time in Park Slope, at least according to the [Village Voice](http://www.villagevoice.com/?ref=bklyner.com), which just released its [Best of 2013 lists](http://www.villagevoice.com/bestOf/index/2013/?ref=bklyner.com). See what came out on top in our area below:

**[Best of 2013 Food & Drink](http://www.villagevoice.com/bestof/2013/section/food-and-drink-491645/?ref=bklyner.com)**

**Best Picnic Lunch Supplier: [Bierkraft](http://www.bierkraft.com/?ref=bklyner.com)**, 191 5th Ave  
**Voice says:** “The finishing touch for your picnic lunch? House-made ice cream sandwiches, though you might want to eat that first.”  
**Our take:** We recommend the [roast beef](/blog/food/sandwich-of-the-week-roast-beef-from-bierkraft)!

**Best Ethiopian: [Ghenet](http://ghenet.com/?ref=bklyner.com)**, 348 Douglass St  
**Voice says:** “…don’t miss the doro wett, a rust-colored stew laced with the heat and earth unique to Ethiopian spice blend berbere that bobs with tender hunks of dark-meat chicken (often a drumstick) and a hard-boiled egg.”  
**Our take:** Not just one of the best Ethiopian restaurants in the city, but one of the best places to eat on 4th Avenue.

**Best Beer Garden: [Lavender Lake](http://lavenderlake.com/?ref=bklyner.com)**, 383 Carroll St  
**Voice says:** “…lounging at a picnic table with a pint remains our favorite way to experience this corner of Gowanus where you can’t even smell the canal.”  
**Our take:** Calling it a beer garden is a bit of an over-statement, but we definitely enjoy their backyard, especially on Mondays and Tuesdays in the summer when it’s not too crowded.

**Best Cure for a Hangover: [Chip Shop](http://www.chipshopnyc.com/?ref=bklyner.com)**, 383 5th Ave. & 129 Atlantic Ave  
**Voice says:** “Throw in as much coffee as you need to sober up, and the $10 meal \[the Full English Breakfast\] is a certain cure-all after a big night out.”  
**Our take:** Anything fried will usually do the trick, so if you can’t stomach the Full English Breakfast, there are several other options here that have saved us in the past.

**Best Spot for Homesick New Englanders: [Littleneck](http://littleneckbrooklyn.com/?ref=bklyner.com)**, 288 3rd Ave  
**Voice says:** “For the true Yanks who know that Down East is up north and quahog is something you eat, not pronounce, there’s a little clam shack by the Gowanus Canal just waiting to welcome you home.”  
**Our take:** The clam chowder is no joke!

**Best Case for Trying Sherry: [Terroir](http://restauranthearth.com/Terroir.html?ref=bklyner.com)**, 284 5th Ave  
**Voice says:** “It’ll soon be undeniable: Sherry’s not just for grandmothers, especially when paired with that discounted olive plate. In terms of wine-geek bang for a cheapskate’s buck, this is the best deal in the city.”  
**Our take:** Haven’t gotten on the sherry train yet, but we can get behind their [new FiPS-approved brunch menu](http://www.fuckedinparkslope.com/home/brunch-is-now-terroir-fied-or-whatever.html?ref=bklyner.com).

**Best Stadium Dining Experience: [Barclays Center](http://www.barclayscenter.com/?ref=bklyner.com)**, 620 Atlantic Ave  
**Voice says:** “Barclays Center rolls deep in local Brooklyn vendors like Fatty ‘Cue, Calexico, Habana Outpost, and L&B Spumoni Gardens, which deal meatballs and Cuban sandwiches in addition to traditional stadium fare like hot dogs and Coke.”  
**Our take:** The food options are definitely better than other stadiums, but the [beer pricing](/blog/food/does-barclays-have-the-most-expensive-beer-of-all-nyc-sports-venues) is not our favorite thing.

**[Best of 2013 Arts & Entertainment](http://www.villagevoice.com/bestof/2013/section/arts-and-entertainment-491640/?ref=bklyner.com)**

**Best Comic Shop for Signings and Events: [Bergen Street Comics](http://bergenstreetcomics.com/?ref=bklyner.com)**, 470 Bergen St  
**Voice says:** “With shelves bursting with graphic novels and a cooler full of white wine and Heineken, Bergen Street hosts intimate Q&As with creators…”  
**Our take:** Couldn’t agree more, for both kids and adults! Their events for the year are done, but [follow them](http://bergenstreetcomics.com/contactfollow/?ref=bklyner.com) to find out what’s coming up in 2014.
