Seafood Restaurant · Gowanus · 141 tips and reviews
Jon Peters: My heart is as full as my stomach. Get the cast iron clams and a $3 beer. Split the French fries. Get the key lime pie topped with homemade whipped cream. Come back and try everything on the menu.
Natalie V: Love it! Lots of routes for beginners to advanced and it's a tight and welcoming community - I've met some great friends here. A little pricey, so if you want to climb often, invest in your own gear!

Tattoo Parlor · Gowanus · 7 tips and reviews
Vanessa Gardner: Love them! Jon Jon did an amazing job on my tattoo. It's my first and he was so great and quick. I can not recommend them highly enough. I have a feeling this won't be my only experience with them!
Silvie Senauke: A fun venue that hosts great comedy events like Night Train on Mondays and Punderdome once a month. They sell more tickets than there are seats, so get there early if you don't want to stand.
Hannah Zilka: The most lovely selection and lovely staff. Anything you purchase here is sure to be a winner. Everything is extremely well curated and thoughtful. Also free wine tasting on Thursday and Saturdays!
