We like the migas- a scramble of eggs with cheese, pico de gallo, red or green hot sauce, shredded cheddar, and leftover tortillas, usually fried into chips
Take advantage of the Bargain matinees! The first shows of the day are $8 ($4 off full price)
This indie spot boasts a tremendous fiction section, a roomy children’s nook, and lots of coffee-table books on hand-built bicycles and other Brooklyn preoccupations. Great author readings, too! Read more.
Definitely one of the best spots in the area. You can't go wrong for Date Night or for a brunch the morning after. Sit at the bar and make friends with the bartenders who will gladly make a recco.
Brownstone Brooklyn meets rustic Mediterranean: eggplant salad, chorizo, and piquillo peppers liven up the brunch menu here, but the most notable dish (not just for its name) is Green Eggs and Lamb. Read more.
The new Greene Grape Annex has opened in Fort Greene. The menu includes coffee, pastries, cheeses, charcuterie & open-faced sandwiches. It also has a wine menu & 10 beers on tap. Read more.
Besides the award-winning theatre and dance productions, BAM's also a great place just to see a movie, because usually it's filled with (respectful) film nerds - even new releases.
Only place in NYC that does cold-brewed coffee in this style. Byproduct is a deep molasses coffee that creates a serious cocaine buzz. Program that makes the mixture costs $3500 .
Coolest opera house I've been to. In general shows at BAM are half the price and twice as good as most things in manhattan. Get more BAM for your buck
Dick & Jane’s is an unpretentious speakeasy that offers cozy cocktails without the hype.
I was a brunch atheist--I didn't believe in it and thought it was a waste of valuable sleeping hours. Then I had Walter's chicken & waffles. I am currently searching for an apartment on the block.
San Francisco good vibes. Delicious Cali style with some Asian and Latin flavors. Try the seedy bread and green butter, sardine toast, asparagus, scallop, pork belly, and pistachio cake!
