Food Scene

They have an extensive menu which is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Coffee, smoothies and pastries too! Super casual, you order at the counter and then they bring your food to you. Just don't go if you're in a rush, they aren't always the fastest.

Great restaurant/bar. Love their cocktails, and my favorite dish here is the steamed mussels. The portion is huge and great for sharing. Such a cute and intimate spot for a date or dinne with a small group.

Hands down the best food in the neighborhood! The hummus is to die for, and I love their shakshuka. Vegetarian friendly but with options for meat eaters as well. Great craft beer too :) Owned by a local couple who owns the craft beer store and keycafe next door.

If you are in Soho, this is a great place for lunch or dinner! Amazing farm to table vibe, all local ingredients, and very vegetarian friendly. Great little cocktail lounge downstairs too.

Drinks & Nightlife

Divey local bar, great for a cheap beer or well drink. Really the only bar in the 'hood, but a great standby. Outdoor covered patio too, for the warmer nights. During the day it doubles as a flower shop!

This is my favorite bar in Park Slope. You can get there by taking the R train from Atlantic Ave. They have amazing cocktails and great appetizers. If you like classic cocktails, you will love this bar.

If you find yourself in the East Village, definitely stop into Sonny's for some oysters ($1 happy hour weeknights), and the best margarita in the city! They also have a great seafood centric menu for a full dinner if you choose to stay

This is a beautiful little 'speakeasy' style lounge in Williamsburg. A great place to sit with a cocktail and get some oysters and charcuterie. The bartenders are truly cocktail masters!

Arts & Culture

If this is your first time in NY, this should be your first Museum stop. Not only is the art incredible, you will get amazing views of NYC and the waterfront, and will be in the middle of the Meatpacking district which is full of high end shops, tons of restaurants, and close to the Highline which is another must see NYC attraction.

Parks & Nature

Prospect Park is .9 miles from the apartment and such a great way to see brooklyn life. There is a 'loop' for running, biking etc, lots of trails and large open spaces to picnic or just hang out. On Saturday there is a massive farmers market at Grand Army Plaza, which you should not miss!

Shopping

A food lovers paradise, this market near the Whitney and high line is filled with restaurants, food stalls, and markets. This is also where they film a lot of the Food Network shows.

Soho is a great area for walking around, people watching and shopping. Primarily high end stores, with only a few restaurants. If you want to see more small privately owned boutiques and local restaurants, visit Soho's neighbor, Nolita
