Why Yes Governor

There's a new governor in Brooklyn - Dumbo to be exact!  Governor is the newest restaurant to open in Dumbo with chef Brad McDonald at its helm.  It's the same team to bring you Gran Electrica which opened earlier this year also in Dumbo.  The name is derived from Robert Gair, who was a paper bag maker (who's wallpaper is used in the restaurant), and helped develop Dumbo in the late 1800's.  They called him the Governor.    
Now on to the important stuff - the food!  This isn't your conventional restaurant so you should have an open palette that's ready for new ideas.  Grilled tongue, bone marrow popovers, sweetbreads, and house-churned butter just to name a few.  The reviews so far have been fantastic.  As well as the stunning design aesthetic chosen.  It shouldn't be hard to decide where to eat tonight.

  1. I finally had a chance to make it to Governor in DUMBO, and I'm sure happy I did! The food was out-of-this-world! I can't wait to get back for a round two of those radishes with bread and butter.
