Charming Italian restaurant with excellent food and well-crafted cocktails. Try a negroni and order your pizza with spicy honey. It's worth it.

Seasonal American with date-worthy atmosphere. Good cocktails, good oysters and hands down the best brunch spot in the neighborhood. When the weather is nice, request a table in the backyard.

Whenever I don't know where to go, I go to Glady's. It's chill and cheap and probably my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. Simple Caribbean classics in a cool, casual atmosphere. Try the jerk fried wings, or the curry goat with a Dark and Slushy (frozen rum and ginger beer) to wash it all down.

This is primary a catering company, but they also sell sandwiches out of a small window that faces the street. There's no indoor seating, but the sandwiches are incredible, artful and well-priced.

This is more than just a restaurant, it's a food court cum beer hall with arguably the best coffee in the neighborhood. Celebrity chef brothers, Max and Eli Sussman, have not 1 but 2 restaurants in this establishment and the bar has an impressive selection of craft and rare beers.

Highly recommended Caribbean restaurant. Someone who knows how to cook food is cooking this food. Virtually everything on the menu requires a long, slow simmer, so there’s no cooking to order—when the kitchen runs out of something, they’re out, and you’re out of luck. But with such an outstanding roster of dishes, just take whatever’s there. You’re not likely to be disappointed. BYOB

Technically this restaurant is in Prospect Heights and is truthfully a bit of walk from the apt. BUT the ramen here is the best in NYC. Trust me - I've tried it all (Jin, Ipuddo, Ivan, Toto... & many, many more). These guys are Momofuku alums and they know what they're doing. You'll be tempted to try the Limited Edition Pork Bone, but don't be fooled - the Kimchi Ramen and the Veggie Miso are better. The pork buns are also good.

From the team behind Al Di La (considered by many, the best restaurant in Brooklyn) comes this charming, date-worthy contemporary Italian bar and restaurant. The menu changes seasonally, but I once had a crispy duck and lentil dish that I still dream about.

This is my favorite restaurant that I've never eaten at. Every time I walk by, I see lots of cute, happy faces - both behind the service counter and from the customer side. The decor is charmingly nautical-themed and decked out with red, white and blue. The Crabby Shack black-owned, which means something in this rapidly gentrifying neighborhood, and I've heard the crab is quite tasty. Too bad I'm not a fan of shellfish!

From the folks behind Crown Heights coffee darling, Little Zelda, comes a great cocktail bar with exceptionally friendly service. The bar's decor spans from '30s art deco to '50s postwar chic before culminating in a back lounge complete with vintage '70s wood paneling and a massive portrait of actress and Bond girl Jill St. John. One of the best spots in the neighborhood to grab a well-made cocktail.
