Wine and Small Plates Served on Vintage China in Williamsburg

Pinkerton keeps things small and dim in the middle of Williamsburg, a narrow room where the pours land on distressed wood tables and mismatched floral china. The glass list runs from crisp whites to easy reds, and the food arrives as plates made for sharing. Expect shrimp salad piled on toast, deviled eggs dusted with chives, warm crostini around a bowl of whipped dip, and burrata with sliced stone fruit and grilled bread. The red and white mosaic tile floor and the mustard banquette give the corner a lived in, prewar feel. It pulls a steady evening crowd, and reviewers rate it 4.6 across more than 300 visits, a mark earned on wine and grazing. Find it at 263 North 6th Street, an easy stop before or after dinner.
