Following the opening in 2020 of a restaurant in Bedford-Stuyvesant, an increasingly gentrified area of Brooklyn, For All Things Good has spawned a second establishment in the borough’s leading hipster neighbourhood—Williamsburg. A modern take on the all-American diner, albeit with a bold Mexican twist, the restaurant has been founded only two years ago by wine professional Matt Diaz and architect Carlos Macías. The entrepreneurs secured a 750 sq.ft. (approx. 70 sqm.) corner unit on the ground floor of a modernized structure originally built in 1910, and the interior design sees a renewed collaboration with local architecture practice commoncraft. The chosen aesthetic is an extrapolation of the design codes of the first restaurant, featuring an overall subdued palette of warm woods and natural tones, paired with pops of colour captured by blue cocktail tables, soft pink chairs, and a swirling concrete bar top in a bright red hue. The setting is framed by an exposed and refinished ceiling, timber wall panels, which conceal a toilet and staircase, and matching flooring. One side of the premises is occupied by a full-fledged service counter and bar. The For All Good Things menu is a celebration of corn, a staple ingredient of Mexican cuisine, and consequently, it lists an array of tasty maize-based bites, such as Chilaquiles, Tortilla soup, Tlayuditas, and Tetelas, all paired with a range of carefully curated Mexican wines.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
