A cross between a Japanese tea house and a tree house. A must try-- everything on the menu was great.
Paulie Gee is a super friendly owner who makes you feel totally warm and fuzzy for eating pizza in a converted barn. Favorite Pie: the Hellboy, which is especially delectable if you dig spicy.
Amazing and intimate Japanese restaurant in Williamsburg. Tokyo style small plates. At $65/p the 8 course omakase is a great deal. Atmosphere is also great, all tables are in private booths.
The 8-10 course tasting menu for around $50 is absolutely worth it. You get nervous you won't be full around meal 5 but by meal 8 you're stuffed. The tequila cube are novel but not that great imo.
Unique flavors like cornbread and chorizo caramel join conventional vanilla and chocolate at this retro ice cream parlor from a wd~50 pastry vet.
Call ahead to order your sandwich. Perhaps they'll hire another "sandwich artist" one day, but until then these things take about 15 minutes to assemble and dispense.
One of the more beautiful coffee shops in NYC, a skylight and plant filled oasis hidden down a dark hall. High end craft roasted and poured coffees that taste fantastic but come with price shock.
Awesome happy hour! Everything's pretty solid. Crispy chicken sandwich and fries recommended.
Tasty, spicy Chinese food with surprisingly good (tiki) cocktails. Like a less crazy Mission Chinese, or a more affordable Red Farm. Pork soup dumplings, garlic eggplant, and rice cakes with sausage.
My favorite place to pick up plants, especially ferns and succulents. The original shop in Chicago has a very modern feel but the Brooklyn shops has embraced a slightly more organic look, which I love
Each theater has paired seats and tables where twosomes can nosh while taking in indie and retro flicks. Split the Nitehawk Queso, with melted cheese, black beans, spicy chorizo and cooling guac. Leggi tutto.
Get a gallon of good beer (the tap handles are meat cleavers!) and share with your table while feasting on pork.
Walk through the door at the back of of the laundromat. Cool bar with a small but good selection of local beers and 20+ pinball machines. Easy ones are World Cup and Spiderman.
This beer bar, from the brewer of Denmark's Evil Twin and the chef of Noma, features 21 beers on tap, each individually managed by a "flux capacitor" to perfect temperature, compression, and CO2 Leggi tutto.
Classic old school doughnut shop with a devoted following. Old fashioned cake doughnuts are our favorites here.
Food is pretty good. Rooftop is whatsup though. When it's warmer I suggest some drinks and apps on the roof.
They have the best fresh-baked bread in the neighborhood. Get fresh baguettes when they come out at 9 AM.
a really fantastic record store--took my vinyl-obsessed little brother here and he totally geeked out
An on-its-way-out video rental store born again as a bar, screening classic movies in the back, along with movie trivia, bingo, and other game nights. Arrive early and grab a back corner table
Best place to find a unique bottle of pretty much any spirit. Especially amaro, gin or mezcal. You certainly won't find any Jack Daniels or Bacardi here.
"The housewares and ceramics are perfectly curated and their jewelry is unique and breathtaking." - Justine D, DJ, baker Leggi tutto.
