Radio Star

At the very end of Greenpoint Avenue, Radio Star is an all day bar and Mediterranean restaurant from the Glasserie team. It’s right next to Transmitter Park, and leans into the Golden Age of Radio: the furniture is all vintage from the 1940’s, with a post-war, industrial feel to the concrete bar and white cinder block walls. While you workshop your transcontinental accent, you can snack on a ham and egg sandwich with coffee in the morning, or pistachio chicken croquettes and chewy, sautéed ginger squid with a cocktail at night. And while WNYC is no longer broadcasting War of the Worlds and Joe DiMaggio stat lines from the park, Radio Star is a great place to catch up on the local news with a friend or a date.
