New York Times Reviews Chicory Brooklyn

I love the idea of the communal table.

From the time the restaurant opens through dinner, customers from the neighborhood occupy the 10-seat communal table, opposite the long, low refrigerated case that holds a host of sides, like potato salad, baked beans and coleslaw (all available in $2.50, $5 and $10 portions). The room is furnished simply and is almost too minimally decorated to be called decorated at all.
