My favorite restaurant to pop in spontaneously on a weeknight. Get the lamb burger with sardines and a mezcal negroni. It also has my favorite looking bathroom in NYC.

Favorite black corner of Williamsburg

A still stunning space, harking back to the 1990s NYC that had fantastic, tasteful boutiques.

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. 

SITUATIONS is a contemporary art gallery in Manhattan that exhibits artists from the United States and abroad.
