Very good sushi, if a bit pricey. Nice to dine in, also good as delivery. The specialty rolls are particularly awesome.

Great thai place with a lively atmosphere. Very basic menu but the plates are delicious. I wouldn't recommend it for delivery though... it takes forever to even get through most days.

A nice little "upscale Mexican" restaurant just a block away. Very good food and pretty reasonable, but much better ambiance then your typical taco stand.

Amazing brunch. Nice, big plates of comfort food like Grandma used to make. And it even kinda feels like Grandma's house.

Friendly family-run restaurant that's good for no-frills Italian. The tomato-cream sauce with smoked bacon pasta is perfect comfort food.

Makes a good coffee, if a bit pricey. Each cup is individually dripped. Nowhere to sit, but grab and go. And not much for food, cross the street to Maidre's for a fresh buttery croissant.

New restaurant serving upscale pub food. The burger is amazing and the lobster mac-n-cheese is to die for. They have a lot of options for gluten-free and the food is fresh. It's a coffee shop by day.

An upscale gastro-pub really close by. Great for brunch. And can get a relatively inexpensive dinner that's also delicious.

A new neighborhood hotspot, an Asian-American restaurant by Chef Talde of Top Chef fame. Interesting food, good service, nice ambiance if a bit cozy. Just a couple blocks away.

Very cool place, especially later in the evening. Huge space with lots of comfy places to sit. Looks like a big library and in the back, a bocce court of all things. Good vibe.

Cool bar for the laid-back hipster types. The venue is neat, half indoors/half outdoors but even the indoors is kinda outdoors. Juke box, pinball and great rotating beer selection.

Forget the restaurant, go for the bar located on 12th. Much more inviting feel and you can still order from the main menu. Small but a great neighborhood joint to grab a drink or bite.

Shopping

It's like a specialty wine store, but for beer. Tons of bottles to choose from and can also get growlers. Also, a cool sandwich joint where you can grab a pint and dine in or out.

Great little wine store. Not a ton of variety, they more handpick delicious affordable wines and bring them to you. They are owned by the wine bar across the street, Brookvin.

Essentials

Nice selection of specialty items, organic fruits and vegetables, etc. Kind of like a local Whole Foods, so it's on the pricier side and not for getting the basics.

Sightseeing

Must-see. A newly-developed park with unparalleled views of Manhattan. You can go nearby to walk the Brooklyn Bridge or just relax in the grass. In warmer months, they have an open-air bar.

One of NYC's best parks, just over a block away. Great to run in, relax with a picnic or just explore. There's a carousel and kid's corner. In summer months, a great free concert series.
