This semi-suburban oasis is popular with young families and filled with mom-and-pop shops: a “more grown-up” part of the Brooklyn borough. That’s not to say it has no edge; amongst the cheesemongers and competing Italian bakeries are plenty of stylish shops, trendy bars, and restaurants lauded by true foodies. Well-maintained brownstones and carriage houses date back to the 1800’s and offer an instant time warp into tree-lined, classic New York.
Brought to you by the same lovely woman who owns Clover Club, this Latin bar supplies a large selection of tequilas. Be sure to taste the “Tia Mia”, a signature cóctel of mezcal, Jamaican rum, orange curaçao, and lime. Their food menu features many authentic dishes from both Central and South America. Arrive hungry, leave drunk off of churrasco steaks and ceviche.
