Things To Do

Our favorite things to do in Brooklyn are to eat, to grab drinks with friends, and to walk (especially if it's a walk to a favorite restaurant or bar!). We've marked some of our favorites for you on the map below, or check out our fave spots on this linked Google map! We are always happy to offer other recs if you need them!
Brooklyn Bridge Park

Brooklyn Bridge Park

New York, NY 11201

Great for a walk or to take in views of the East River and the Manhattan skyline! This is our favorite spot for a picnic in the summer.

Brooklyn Heights Promenade

Pierrepont Place, Brooklyn Heights, NY 11201

A great spot to walk to with a coffee and take in the best views of Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge.

Clark's

80 Clark Street, Brooklyn Heights, NY 11201

One of our favorite spots for a hearty breakfast. Brooklyn Heights also has some of the most beautiful historic homes to enjoy.

TALEA Beer Co.

61 Bergen Street, Boerum Hill, NY 11201

This is our favorite brewery in the neighborhood. It's got a great vibe, excellent beers, and even some fun wines and cocktails!

Congress Bar

Congress Bar

208 Court Street, Cobble Hill, NY 11201

This is our favorite cocktail bar, try the mezcal negroni (David's favorite)!

June

231 Court Street, Carroll Gardens, NY 11201

An amazing little wine bar with the best cozy backyard!

Frankies 457 Spuntino

457 Court Street, Carroll Gardens, NY 11231

This is our favorite Italian food in the neighborhood. Emily's favorite things to order are an olive oil martini and the sausage cavatelli!

Barely Disfigured

257 Smith Street, Carroll Gardens, NY 11231

We went on some of our early dates here, its an excellent and cozy spot for cocktails and oysters.

Henry Public

329 Henry Street, Cobble Hill, NY 11201

This is our favorite place. We've spent many dates and anniversaries here. Everything on the menu is excellent, and it's the best burger around in our opinion!

Poppy's

243 Degraw Street, Cobble Hill, NY 11231

The best coffee and pastries around! No place to sit so take your treats up the street to Congress park if the weather is nice.

Wingbar

Wingbar

275 Smith Street, Carroll Gardens, NY 11231

The best buffalo wings (always request flats only) and the cheapest pitcher of beer you'll find in the neighborhood. Need I say more?

Antonio's Pizza

318 Flatbush Avenue, Park Slope, NY 11238

If you're coming to NY for the pizza and not to see us then make sure to stop here! Get a plain slice well done or a vodka sauce deep dish if you're feeling extra hungry.

Finback Brooklyn

545 President Street, Gowanus, NY 11215

Our (second) favorite brewery in Brooklyn and also VERY close to the venue! Also surprisingly good crab rangoons.

Court Street Grocers

485 Court Street, Carroll Gardens, NY 11231

The best lunch sandwiches. Period.

Deli Bite

149 Smith Street, Boerum Hill, NY 11201

If you're on the run in the morning and need something quick then stop by here for the best egg sandwich! We recommend "The Champion" on a wrap or roll with extra cheese.

The Brooklyn Strategist

148 Pierrepont Street, Brooklyn Heights, NY 11201

The only place we go to for our board game needs, David spends too much time here nerding out and playing Dungeon & Dragons.

Gowanus Yacht Club

323 Smith Street, Carroll Gardens, NY 11231

HOT DOG! Cash only and endless cheap hot dogs for you to eat. It's the go to outdoor dive bar of the summer.
