Gabriella & Matan
Things To Do
Brooklyn Museum
Great museum with a variety of different types of exhibits. Also nearby is the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the central branch of the Brooklyn Public Library and Eastern Parkway.
Museum of the Moving Image
Museum on the history and production of the film, which includes many fun interactive installations.
Peppas Jerk Chicken
The name speaks for itself, amazing jerk chicken. We recommend getting a medium or large "Jerk Meal", depending on your appetite.
Tanoreen
Palestinian restaurant in Bay Ridge with amazing food. Our favorite dishes include baked cauliflower, mansaf, and knafeh.
Pasta Louise Restaurant
Restaurant in Park Slope serving up beautiful fresh pasta and big salads.
Shu Jiao Fu Zhou
Matan has been eating here for a long time — before it went viral for its divine dumplings and wheat noodles!
Di Fara Pizza
Old school BK pizzeria with some of the best slices in NYC.
Nostrand Avenue Pub
Great dive(ish) bar! We had our first date here and Matan has thrown many birthday parties here.
Melody Lanes
Great bowling alley in Sunset Park with a very down-to-earth atmosphere.
Coney Island Beach & Boardwalk
Boardwalk that takes you from Brighton Beach to Coney Island. Fun things to do: hang out on the beach, get great Russian/Eastern European/Central Asian food, go to a BK Cyclones games, ride on rollercoasters, play arcade games, and go to the original Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs.
The Drama Book Shop
The best place to find books about theatre, and plays! (Well, second best to where Gabriella works, the Library for the Performing Arts!)
The Ripped Bodice
Independent book store focusing on romantic fiction. A quirky and sweet place to celebrate love!
Film Forum
Art house movie theater showing many great films with an emphasis on independent, foreign, and classic cinema.
