Things To Do
Taqueria Ramirez
Best tacos! Expect a line but it moves quick :)
Five Leaves
Our favorite restaurant for brunch and dinner! No reservations for brunch, but definitely reserve for dinner.
Frankel's Delicatessen & Appetizing
Classic jewish deli with amazing breakfast sandwiches!
Paulie Gee's Slice Shop
A top 5 NYC slice for us! We love the white slice (tastes like cheesy garlic bread) and their famous Hellboy Slice (peperoni and hot honey).
The Gutter (Bowling)
Bowl a couple frames at our favorite local spot! Bar and bowling for rainy days.
McCarren Park
This park has it all! A park house with food and drinks, a track to run around, field space to set up volleyball or soccer, and lots of great picnic-ing spots. This is also where Chris and Liz had their engagement party :). During the summer there's a pool!
MoMA PS1
If you don't want to go all the way to Manhattan for a great museum, this one is a 20 minute walk or quick uber from the Box House Hotel and has free entry!
Pan Pan
We hesitate to put this on here because we think it's the best bakery in town (as good as the viral Radio Bakery) but we love you all so we will share this secret! Amazing bread, amazing pastries, amazing breakfast sandwiches, amazing coffee.
The Brew Inn
Come for the fact that it's a great neighborhood bar, stay for the pierogis and kielbasa ruben sandwich (Greenpoint is a Polish neighborhood, so enjoy).
Wenwen
A stone's throw from the venue hotel, and one of the best places to eat in Greenpoint. It's Taiwanese cuisine, nothing is a miss - the Beef Noodle Soup, Popcorn Chicken, and the Celtuce Salad are some of our highlights though. Reservations almost a must.
Oxomoco
Excellent upscale sit-down Mexican restaurant. Tacos are great but be brave and branch out. Reservations needed.
Threes Brewing Greenpoint
Greenpoint outpost of one of the great NYC breweries. Logical Conclusion and Vliet are probably their two best known (and, well, best) beers, but everything is great. They also have food. No reservations needed.
