(This venue is closed.) One of the few places in Bay Ridge — formerly home to a sizable Scandinavian community — where you can still find lingonberries, lutefisk, and several varieties of the soft-bodied, sweet, caramelized cheese product called gjetost (Yet-oast). From Norway, the Ski Queen brand (250 g., $4.99) quickly became tiring, even when sliced thin and paired with the traditional ryecrisp. It needs a saltier soulmate, but I haven't found the right one gjet.
