It's close, has great ambiance and one of the more sophisticated restaurants in terms of the menu! 1 block away, and the food is amazing. I recommend the Braised Beef Shoulder.

Good food is so close! Peaches is only a block away, and the Fried Chicken is to die for! Ask for the spicy if you can handle the spice. It's a small space, and there's usually a wait, but it's well worth it.

Arguably the best food in the neighborhood, but with a long wait. It's tasty Caribbean food, in a small non-flashy location. It's cozy in the winter, and a great place for a summer beer in the outside seating area.

PIZZA! Saraghina is the place to go for tasty, great, pizza. It's one of our personal favorites. Catch a taxi, or Uber. It's not far, but it's more than a 20min walk.

Every neighborhood has a "neighborhood place," and this is yours. Brew is where Bed-Stuy gathers for an evening beer, or wine nightly. It's casual, and very relaxed. There's a DJ on Friday and Saturday, and it's always a mixed crowd.
