Some of the best donuts around, and a very Brooklyn experience.
An excellent (and huge!) independent bookstore in Williamsburg--one of our favorites!
You guessed it: another bookstore!
Very cool coffee shop with a gorgeous interior and delicious beverages (and guava croissants)!
Fantastic, creative, and delicious pizza!
Adorable spot for brunch and dinner!
Did somebody say pieorgis?
An excellent Brooklyn ramen spot.
I go here almost every Saturday morning like clockwork. It's a little less fun in January but still worth a quick trip!
A delicious Japanese spot with great brunch options.
A great spot to burn a few hours playing pinball and arcade games (while drinking good beer).
A great option if you're looking for an activity near the hotel!
A huge space with good beer that offers brewery tours!
This spot will certainly be chilly (and breezy) in January, but it's still worth a quick trip to see the beach right on the East River with amazing views of Manhattan!
Easily one of the coolest spots in the city! This park has an unparalleled view of Manhattan and the Williamsburg bridge with all sort of events happening (even in the winter).
