Brooklyn’s Greenpoint is known for its traditional Polish restaurants, cool shops, and trend-setting eateries, bars, and live music venues. Galleries and artist studios are found throughout the area in converted warehouses! The revitalized East River waterfront has parks and new high-rises with sweeping views of midtown Manhattan. We love: Karczma Sapporo Ichiban (serves FREE hot sake with dinner!) Citroën Milk & Roses Sunshine Laundromat- (a fully functioning laundromat in the front and a full functioning hidden bar in the back with lots of games) And much more..
If you can dream it, Williamsburg has it. From bookstores, bars, restaurants for every craving, and shopping with plenty of vintage.

Our favorites: Bunna Cafe 28 Scott Vintage Mominette 10 Bells Ornithology Jazz Club Old Stanley’s Ops And much more…
Filled with cobble stone streets, under the bridge, on the water, with a view of the city just across the river! Lots of cool shops and high end restaurants, but it’s on the pricy side so bring your wallet! ;) We love to come here for the views and a walk along the park on the waters edge.
Check out Red Hook! Very different and feels far away from city life, right on the water. Red Hook has a laid-back seaside village vibe. Young families and creative professionals make up a large part of the community. A mix of homey eateries and quirky bars, plus edgy art galleries and boutiques proliferate along Van Brunt Street, the main artery. Several indie distilleries and a winery offer tastings and tours. Check out Sunny’s Bar!
