Named for the trail houses that serve as respite for travelers along the Appalachian Trail, the palate of Montana’s Trail House in Bushwick, Brooklyn is inspired by flavors from Maine down to Georgia.

For those seeking shelter from the storm this winter, or a winter warmer to the gut, pursue the path down Troutman St., past the pop-up pizza shops to a new Brooklyn mainstay with satisfying Switchel cocktails to accompany your Root Beer Braised Brisket, or a beautiful Roasted Brook Trout.

Load up on vegetarian and omnivore options to power you up as you head back out on that old, dusty trail.
