Incredible selection of tea from around the world. Lots of great single-origin and blends. Usually do tastings on the weekends - try everything! Grab a bag of Afghani Chai on your way out.
One of the best beer bars in NYC. Run by the Evil Twin team. Try small pours of their house hits and save room for food - not your usual bar fare. Love the squash blossoms and fried chicken.
Walk through the door at the back of of the laundromat. Cool bar with a small but good selection of local beers and 20+ pinball machines. Easy ones are World Cup and Spiderman.
Fave brunch in NYC. Order the mezze and enjoy a bunch of amazing homemade dishes. Sage flatbread is incredible. Pro tip: the mezze is unlimited, just ask your waiter for more of your faves.
Some incredible finds if you dig deep. Go after work on Thursday or early on Saturday (they open at 11) for the best selection.
Coffee with a side of graphic design. Amazing magazine selection, good spot to camp out for an afternoon. Close to lots of recording studios, keep your eyes peeled for indie starlets.
The hip little sister to Maison Premiere. Romantic spot for date night, or fun to sit outdoors for brunch and people-watching.
Incredible, homemade Italian food in a beautiful, intimate setting. Their pasta is incredible. Try the olive oil cake for dessert.
Authentic Polish food, great service. Arrive early, usually a wait, grab a drink at the Brooklyn Bazaar. Come hungry. Plate of Polish specialties, hunter stew, latkes, apple pie. Good beer selection.
Beer on a barge, also options on land. Good place for a group, easy to bring kids. Packed on a sunny weekend.
