I'm a big fan of both Georgian and Uzbecki food, with the Georgian options very good in Brooklyn Russian areas, and the Uzbecki options good in Queens Russian areas.

The Georgian restaurant in the photos is called Pirosmani. It was not bad! I might have actually prefered another Georgian restaurant in Brooklyn called Mtskheta Cafe. But to be honest I'm not any kind of expert on Georgian food. The area around Pirosmani seems more interesting though. There's a good Turkish restaurant frequented by Russian speakers not far away, and also an Uzbek restaurant which I passed but didn't yet try. The only Uzbek place I've tried in NY is a Bukharian Jewish restaurant out in Queens on the R train. It was ok, very local, filled with Russian speaking (I presume Bukharian) families, and reminded me of Uzbek Tatar home cooking I've had in the former Soviet Union.
