Feel Good About Eating At This Social Enterprise of A Restaurant on Smith Street

Emma’s Torch in Carroll Gardens is part dining-establishment part social enterprise, empowering refugees, asylees, and victims of human trafficking through culinary education and job training. The menu is inspired by the changing seasons and is designed to familiarize the students with both the ingredients and flavors of their adopted home.

When your ready to move on for a nightcap, walk a couple of minutes to Bar San Miguel for craft tequila cocktails. Booze is reasonably priced, and they make a mean mezcal-based Old Fashioned. Yes, please.
