Food Scene

Specializes in fancy deli food like Pastrami and Ruebens. It’s a bit pricey, but it’s super delicious. It’s also pretty well known and can have a wait, especially for Brunch. Personally, I prefer their non-smoked meat stuff the best and would look to their daily specials. I come here a lot, it’s super good.

Really good Italian food. Romantic at night, but pretty chill and relaxed during the day. Also a bit pricey, but also very very good. Great spot for Brunch. Love this place. Sometimes you’ll see random celebrities here!

Solid ramen restaurant. Used to be much better, but still pretty good. Their non-ramen stuff is really good though.

Awesome sushi / Japanese food place. Pretty good prices considering it’s extremely good Japanese food. Still it’s not cheap. Little bit of a walk from the house, but it’s a really nice walk through Cobble Hill.

Mostly a really good bakery (yes they make bread and baguettes!), but they have good coffee, too. Their bread is awesome, but it’s a little over priced.

More of a legit cafe where you can get work done if you’d like. Weirdly good bagels (probably best place to get a bagel nearby) and they have a juice bar in the back.

Pretty serious cafe with great espresso drinks and room for hanging out / working. Less crowded than Konditori. The people who run this place are super nice!

THE MOST SERIOUS COFFEE! When people make fun of Brooklyn this is what they’re making fun of. Coffee is the most delicious in the neighborhood, but it’s also the most expensive. Ice coffee is particularly delicious. Two notes : one, the hot coffee is pour over only so it takes a while to make. Two, there’s pretty much nowhere to sit or hangout. Definitely a to-go spot.
