Amazing seafood in the West Village. Such a cute interior! Awesome wine too
The Clam
Highly recommend sitting on the roof, great ambiance! You would have no idea you're right next to the BQE. Get the branzino!
Llama Inn
Amazing pasta and wine in the coziest environment, can't miss it!
Have & Meyer
I used to live right down the street so this was a go to. Cute interior and really good dumplings and udon. Pretty reasonable, too
Samurai Mama
Worth the hype, their pasta is so good! Also def get the ricotta toast. Book in advance!! Also it's pretty fun to sit at the bar
Misi
A bit pricey but such good Italian food
Emilio's Ballato
A favorite of mine in Fort Greene. Super cute and all the dishes are awesome, definitely get a few to split
Colonia Verde
You can make a whole day out of going here! Grab a city bike and once you're there you can get drinks and play games in the backyard or sit on one of the decks for seafood. Sometimes there is a wait but you can wait in the backyard so it barely feels...
I used to live behind this place and was there all the time!! Love the backyard and there are lots of fun, funky beers. Good for day time or early evening
Spuyten Duyvil
Really great sours in a fun space!
Grimm Artisanal Ales
Dive bar on LES- good happy hour and decently large (dark) space. Get the frose!
Botanica Bar
This is such a cool historic bar in southern Brooklyn. They have pool and it's a pretty relaxed vibe
Brooklyn Inn
Used to live across the street in Williamsburg- they have great cocktails and a cute interior. Expect a wait because it is small unless you go at a random time
Fresh Kills Bar
Such a fun bar- get the pina colada! They have a little outdoor area too
Really cute wine bar in Caroll Gardens that's perfect for sitting outside. Lots of fun orange wines which I love
Black Mountain Wine House
Fun dive bar with one of the best backyards I've been to in BK! There is a fountain and tons of plants
Sea Witch
Concert Venues
Used to live behind this place! Intimate concert venue where lots of cool, smaller artists play. They also have djs/dance parties, pretty much always something going on
Knitting Factory Brooklyn
Have seen so many amazing shows here, such a great space and there are some cool places around to grab dinner/drinks before or after a show
Brooklyn Steel
Another fun Williamsburg venue! Fun to come here for drinks, too
Baby's All Right
Both a bowling alley and a concert venue! Super fun for both, pretty big space. And food and drink is pretty good too!
Boutique Hotel In NYC | The James Hotels | New York
My favorite hotel in NYC. The views are so amazing from here! Rooms are chic and the rooftop bar is super cool. Great area of Williamsburg, too. Sometimes they have pretty good deals if you book last minute
The William Vale
Rooms are pretty small but the views are great and so is the location
