Williamsburg: Four of the city’s leading food trends have joined forces at Afternoon, a multi-restaurant restaurant that’s chosen Williamsburg for its first Brooklyn location. From touch-screen kiosks, customers can order Korean corn dogs from Jongro Rice Hotdog, egg sandwiches from Egglab, mochi doughnuts from Mochi Mochi Donut, and several flavors of the Flushing-famous croffle from Croffle Haus. Two additional locations of the restaurant are planned for Flushing, at 136-95 Roosevelt Avenue, and the East Village, at 34 Saint Mark’s Place, in October. 148 North Seventh Street, between Bedford Avenue and Berry Street
