Geek out over the massive menu of Belgian beer at Spuyten Duyvil. Relax in the backyard seating and say, “Ooh, I gotta remember this brew,” without realizing you probably won’t see it again elsewhere. Then cross the street to Fette Sau, a BBQ experience equally well designed because it’s owned by the same couple, the Carrolls. Order from their wide selection of meat cuts, served by the pound on butcher paper. The sides shine too, with the best potato salad and best BBQ beans I’ve ever had.

Luhring Augustine did a good job of converting an old warehouse/storage facility into a blue chip commercial art gallery that stages four shows of contemporary art per year. Which means you can catch museum quality shows in an unlikely spot, away from all the Chelsea pomp, and it actually has friendly staff, instead of a cold gallerina sat behind a desk pretending to be on the phone.

One of the only things I enjoy about taking the subway these days is seeing the defaced ads on the L train. Whether it's random chance, high schoolers or street artists the result is always good.
