Lovely Italian restaurant with a beautiful backyard. I usually have the Orecchiette Salsiccia Broccoli or the spaghetti Vongole.

Getaway not far from the city. Nice beach, surreal pool. Next to Fire Island (which is also super nice).

It's a sweet agave bar hidden in the fridge of a Mexican grocery store that use to be a laundromat. It doesn't get more Brooklyn than that but the tourists haven't found it yet so I highly recommend it. Music is really good and they have a great selection of mezcal. Felipe, the owner, also owns the adjoining restaurant Cerveceria.

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

Lunch there before a visit at the MET with a walk in Central Park
