Incredible pizza! The wait is usually around 1-2 hours to get in but you can wait in the backyard and people watch while you're waiting. Happy hour is from 5-7 on weekdays.

Really outstanding sushi!
They have really fresh ingredients and innovative food. On the pricey side of things, but worth it. Beautiful tables as well.

This might be the best coffee within walking distance. The entrance is hard to find, very narrow green hall facing Knickerbocker Avenue OR accessible from the inside of all those Loom shops.

This is a tiny gem, perfect for a date! A touch expensive but only because it's VERY high quality/classy vietnamese food- and a bit of a scene.
I truly love Falansai and the super nice owner.

Balls of rice deep fried and $3. No more to say on this!

Drinks & Nightlife
This is a "secret" bar and is semi-difficult to find because it has no marking on the front. Write down the address and find it! They make delightful cocktails and have a great backyard.

This is a dive bar. Pretty loud but dark and hip, the bartenders aren't very friendly. For that (and a better happy hour) go to Pine Box.

The people that run this little deli are really nice. The beer is also cheaper than at Brooklyn Natural, (the other quite similar deli/grocery store one block away).
