Things To Do

Brooklyn is easily the best borough in NYC, especially the neighborhood where we first lived together and are saying our "I dos" – Williamsburg. There's a plethora of awesome restaurants, shops, bars, and fun activities you can explore between the nuptial celebrations. We put together a list (in no particular order) of our favorite spots, all conveniently located to the venue, to make your Brooklyn adventure unforgettable!

Brooklyn Winery

61 Guernsey Street, Greenpoint, NY 11222

Featuring Brooklyn-made wines, a seasonal food menu, and great ambiance, this is a cool spot to check out. It's also close to the neighborhood Greenpoint, that's close a lot fun shops you can explore

McCarren Park

776 Lorimer Street, Williamsburg, NY 11222

Saturday's they have an amazing farmers market. We used to go here every weekend we could to get fresh flowers, produce, snacks, and locally made ciders from the apple orchard upstate. Or we'd go to hang out, play sports, and people watch

Lilia

567 Union Avenue, Williamsburg, NY 11211

We absolutely love this restaurant, the chef is winner of the James Beard award, and she's incredible. You'll be in for a very special experience, but be sure to get reservations, because there is hardly availability

Shalom Japan

310 South 4th Street, Southside, NY 11211

Who would have thunk that Japanese and Jewish cuisine fusion would work, but it does! Great ramen, apps, and ambiance

Suzume

545 Lorimer Street, Williamsburg, NY 11211

This is a great local spot we would go to pretty much every Saturday to get their Salmon Miso ramen, and spam Masubi. It's also nestled amidst some of our favorite streets that have the cutest houses we would never be able to afford

Domino Park

15 River Street, Williamsburg, NY 11249

It spans from DUMBO to Williamsburg and has amazing views of the Manhattan skyline!

Bahia

690 Grand Street, Southside, NY 11211

Best pupusas ever and the biggest bang for your buck! It's more of a whole in the wall spot, but it's so worth it

Barcade

388 Union Avenue, Williamsburg, NY 11211

Channel your inner child by playing arcade games but having access to booze! But be careful, you'll spend your coins quickly

Laser Wolf Brooklyn

97 Wythe Avenue, Williamsburg, NY 11249

This is the hottest restaurant in Brooklyn right now, and if you have an appetite to try Israeli food, this is the place to be. But be sure to get reservations!!

Mugs Ale House

Great brewery and great for watching sports!

Birria-Landia NYC
