Food Scene

Great breakfast, but always a very long wait. The best way to do it is to put down your name and then do something else or wait at the apartment until they're ready. Definitely try the pancakes.

A temple to bacon and all other things banned by Jewish dietary law. It's a very trendy spot in Brooklyn and has pretty tasty bacon donuts (it's a weird combination but somehow it works).

Drinks & Nightlife

A quirky little bar reminiscent of a speakeasy with fantastic cocktails. It's tucked away in a japanese shop on 9th street. Best to go early if you want a seat, it get's packed.
