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

A place for when you only have a day and your soul needs the smell of an ocean breeze and to feel sand between your toes. You can watch all the craziness of Coney Island from across the water.

Get your analogue photos ready - space where you can buy film, photo equipment and as well serves as a gallery space for young talent! Nice stuff and staff!

This is another neighborhood favorite, especially for Sunday brunch which is consistently great.

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.
