Wholly guacamole
Take your avocado obsession to the next level at Avocaderia. The all-avocado eatery, which made headlines world-wide when it opened in April, plates the creamy fruit on toast, in salads, and blended into smoothies. Each month also features new specials that imagine the green goody in a unique form. July’s creations include “Avo chocolate mousse” and an “Avo burger” that uses the fruit as a bun.

Light eating
The latest sit-down eatery in Industry City, Filament at the Landing, offers a high-brow twist on pub grub. Culinary craftsmen Vincent Chirico, who also runs two Mediterranean-inspired spots on the distant isle of Manhattan, has brought some of more well-known dishes to the better borough, including charred octopus served on a bed of jalapeno pesto, and a chicken-under-a-brick dish. In addition to bold bites, the space features a courtyard bar, pool tables, and shuffleboard.
Filament at the Landing (220 36th St. between Second and Third avenues in Sunset Park, (347) 417–8494). Open Mon–Tue, 9:30 am–8 pm, Wed–Fri, 9:30 am–10 pm, Sat, noon–10 pm, and Sun, noon–6 pm.
Booze cruise
Belly up to seasonal tug-boat-turned-eatery the Wheelhouse, now landlocked in an Industry City courtyard. The team behind the Manhattan-docked vessel Frying Pan are serving up a slew of nautical fare, including lobster rolls, ceviche tacos, and spiced shrimp banh mi, along with beer, wine, and cocktails. You can settle at any of the benches around the courtyard, or migrate mere steps to the Brooklyn-themed mini-golf course for a round.
