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.
Exposed brick and just the right amount of interior greenery give a woodsy allure to this neighborhood bar, reminding you of long weekend trips to the Catskills. All menus are seasonal, and change relatively frequently, as they rely heavily on local ingredients. Stop by for witty banter and New York themed trivia (sometimes current, sometimes historic) every third Monday of the month.
