Joseph Leonard is one of my favorite cozy spots for brunch on the weekend. After a long week of work their avocado toast and a bloody mary hits the spot. Get there early or expect to wait, it's small and limited seating. Their sister restaurant Jeffreys Grocery across the street is also very good, but no expresso drinks which and I need my morning latte.

Warm winter holiday vibes all year long, especially during the holidays. A hint of the old NYC where one could be a functioning alcoholic by day and artist by night. Proper characters here, the lore is deep.

Empty, but not abandoned, this cavernous Brooklyn loading dock was once considered the largest individual building in the world.

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

It feels like you wake up in a fairy tale house or another may name it as an alternative for marry poppins' place. If you want to escape from city and rest for a couple of days and re-charge, this village and house might be your secret spot. If you are a photographer! , this is a beautiful place for a possible photo shoot - for a project with a good budget
