Always in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge, is the most direct route for a bike ride into the city from my place. This is a kind of alcove and lookout point that also reminds me I’m about to reach the top of the climb. I guess I kind of like the series of light bulbs and ornate rivets and metal work, the kinds things you really don’t see from a distance.

Really great coffee and bread. 

Great Bar with LIVE music! absolutely worth a visit! Backyard/Outdoor area closes 9pm for music indoors! :)
