Once upon a time--like three years ago--New York's trendy restaurant scene stopped at the East River. Today, it extends well into Brooklyn, with some of the city's most upscale eateries in Cobble Hill, Park Slope and Fort Greene.

The foodie conquest of Brooklyn continues to spread even further into the borough, with the latest high-end restaurant row popping up this year in Prospect Heights. The newest entry is James Restaurant, a homey dining room set in a 100-year-old brownstone on St. Marks and Carlton Aves.

The menu is "old-world European influenced," with the expected Brooklyn organic/locavore touches in dishes like crispy sweetbreads with rhubarb honey glaze and dandelion greens, grass-fed beef burger with Cotswold cheese and organic Pennsylvania greens with sherry and black pepper dressing.

James (none / 0)

I think someone needs to make a taste-test comparison of the NY James and the Philly James. Philly's James also has "a homey dining room" and is in an up-and-coming (read: cool) neighborhood.

The NY James is "old-world European influenced" and the Philly James serves "Italian and contemporary American" but it looks like both of them are into being farm-fresh.

Oh, and they both have nice typeface.

Now I am hungry.
