The Sunset in my neighbourhood Is fantastic. Like a Caspar David Friedrich painting the sunsets are so romantic that you cannot help but feel overwhelmed with emotion if you are ever witness to one. In spite of Bushwick being full of warehouses and industrial buildings (and reportedly no trees..) There is a raw beauty that is so magical that words cannot express.

This botanical garden is massive. If you like to be surrounded by foliage, bring a picnic on a nice day.

Have you ever had Uzbek food? Me neither until I went to Nargis Cafe. It's kinda like middle eastern food mixed with Ukranian food. It's so good and so inexpensive.

Home of Casa Bosques chocolates, to purchase directly at the studio.  By appointment only. 

This is my favorite bar in the city: original cocktails, an unpretentious crowd and live jazz.
