Gorgeous new park right on the river, with a fabulous views of the city and Williamsburg Bridge. Only two blocks away, it's a great place to catch a sunset, and even have food and drinks at the outdoor cafe there.

Essentials
Excellent machines, and open until 21:30. Since it's so close, I usually drop my stuff off, set a timer on my phone, and go back to the apartment.

Another 30s looking restaurrant with live music. Gorgeous and intimate space, with great food and drinks. And when there is live music, it's 3 people playing classic music from the 30s and 40s. Very memorable experience there.

Huge pizza selection in a large cozy place. It used to be a farm to table restaurant, and when it closed, they barely changed anything when Fornino showed up. Good call.

Drinks & Nightlife
Probably our favorite bar. The aesthetic is the 30s and 40s, and the entire wait staff is there to take exquisite care of you. Everyone is crisply dressed, and the drinks are exquisite. You have to make a reservation at the door for the bar, you can't just walk right in. They will text you, it is worth the wait. The oyster selection is huge, and we usually try many varieties.
