A non-collecting arts institution that fosters experimentation and dialogue through exhibitions, public programs, and artist residencies.

Consistently superb wlbrg staple. Good for coffee, lunch and lavish dinners.

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

Perfect cocktails, chicken fat rice, and a REAL fireplace. One of the coziest spots in Greenpoint, particularly in the winter. Its "off the beaten path" location keeps out the bridge and tunnel goons, so you're likely to meet actual locals. Good for dates, solo thinking, or a small group. 

Karasu is our neighborhood go to for a chill date. It's a cozy, well-lit space with excellent cocktails and a small Japanese menu. The tonkatsu is amazing, and perfect for sharing because nothing says romance like a fried pork cutlet.
