My first job in the city. The family and friends and raised New York Megan. Also very good coffee. And lovely neighbors.

This is very small and not much but if you're a fan it's nice to stop by and cherish this legend.

This little French-Morroccan restaurant is a perfect place for meeting artist friends and, of course, great escargot.

My favorite neighborhood fancy chinese spot. Quality soup dumplings (it's obligatory to get an order). Mock eel (mushrooms), ants climbing a tree (noodles), salt & pepper fry (fresh daily), and mu shu duck are some of the go-tos. It's spicy and filling—worth a night of feasting. 

This artist-run gallery is a hub of the Brooklyn gallery scene. You'll find Bungee, a celebrated fixture, snoozing comfortably in the office and somehow oblivious to all the surrounding chaos.
