Brooklyn Dinner and Drinks, Osaka’s Sushi First
A guide to sushi at Osaka Japanese Cuisine, beer and shuffleboard at Turtles all the way down, and vegan options at Pizza Crew.
Court Street to Malcolm X
First Course on Court Street
Osaka Japanese Cuisine serves a Japanese menu centered on sushi and seafood. Tiger, Mango, and Spicy Crunchy Salmon rolls provide three choices, while rock shrimp adds a cooked option beside raw fare. Lunch and dinner have separate hours. From Wednesday through Monday, lunch runs from noon to 3 PM, and dinner runs from 4.30 PM to 10 PM, with Tuesday closed. The listed price level is two dollar signs, and reviews mention attentive service and value alongside some inconsistency in fish and dishes.
Second Round at Shuffleboard
Turtles all the way down keeps its bar identity casual, with draft beer, boilermakers, outdoor patio seating, and live turtles among the defining details. A 24 ounce draft Budweiser is listed at 4 dollars, while boilermakers are listed at 7 dollars. DJ sets feature early 2000s music, with R and B and hip hop in the mix. The bar is open daily from noon until 4 AM. Monthly turtle races are reportedly held on the first Sunday. Friday afternoon happy hour has no listed hours.
Choose the Closing Slice
Pizza Crew centers this section on a counter service shop serving New York rounds, grandma pies, garlic knots, and vegan options. Source feedback specifically favors classic margarita slices and garlic knots with sauce, though other comments describe some items as tasting reheated. The menu spans slices and pies, with classic and plant based choices represented among the offerings. This Bed Stuy outpost is associated with Williamsburg Pizza and has a dollar price level. It opens before noon daily, with later closing hours Thursday through Saturday.
