Things To Do
Anable Basin Sailing Bar & Grill
Fun outdoor spot to grab a local beer on the East River near the venue!
Go Nonna
Cute little Italian spot walking distance from The Ravel. Highly recommend sharing since there are a lot of great dishes on the menu to try!
Vernon Blvd near Gentry Plaza
The area immediately around the hotel/venue is a lot of warehouses, but a short walk/ride away on Vernon Blvd, there are a bunch of cool restaurants/bars. The waterfront park on the river is also quite nice. Right by the Vernon St. 7 train stop. See some recommendations below! Woodbines Black Star Bakery and Kitchen Cafe Henri The Gantry LIC Bar
Spritzenhaus33
We've had many a good time at this beer garden right next to McCarren Park in Williamsburg. Lots of sauce options for the fries.
Prospect Park South
Rob and Jo spent quite a bit of time here during Rob's days in Gowanus around 2012.
Little Dokebi
Great Korean restaurant Danny and Ray introduced us to during their days in Greenpoint.
Brooklyn Brewery
Stop by for a cold beer while exploring Williamsburg. They do tours and tastings too!
The High Line
Beautiful park built on the old elevated railroad bridges on the west side. Shopping and food in the Meatpacking district/Chelsea/West Village nearby. Right next to the Whitney Museum on the south end.
Lil' Frankie's
CASH ONLY. Frank Prisinzano's "methods" (NOT recipes) have been a quarantine staple for us this past year. The spaghetti limone is out of this world, but you can't go wrong here. It's also a regular group dinner spot for Jo and her girlfriends in NYC. Or a 12AM dinner spot for Downey and Jo. Frank also has other restaurants, including Supper, Frank Restaurant and Sauce. Seriously, you can't go wrong.
