When I have a bit of money I like to go there with friends to celebrate our happiness and miseries.

where I walk with my dog near my apartment, is also the remains of what was Fort Putnam in the late 1700’s and later Fort Washington near the Navy Yard. Not the largest park but a regular part of my routine and big enough to feel like you’re still out of the city when you’re in the middle of it.

New York's first meadery! Delightful. 

Favorite black corner of Williamsburg

Books are Magic is a great local spot for bookworms. The staff is warm and friendly with regular events happening monthly.
