I love the mole sauce. They have decent Mexican fair with a great sound tract. The service is spotty but the food makes up for it. Can get noisy during bar hours.

One of the oldest restaurants and wine bars in Williamsburg. Feels homey and very Sardinian. Natalie Portman has dined here! It's close to the water of the East River and the Bedford Ave Stop on the L train. I recommend the tiramisu

Parks & Nature

Best East River views during the day and at night. Open until 1AM and well lit. Can be good for everyone. Good for selfies, romantic strolls, and familys or groups to meet up. There are great views of lower Manhattan and the Williamsburg Bridge. I highly recommend walking from our apt. to the Domino Park and making several stops along the way for either icecream or beer or BBQ or shopping...

Very near connection to the East River Ferry, which is a great way to see part of Manhattan and brooklyn by water in an affordable way. I highly recommend this. Taking your time and walking down to the park from our apt.is very nice and you can stop along the way and enjoy Williamsburg via icecream, beer and wine, food trucks, or shopping
