I used to live around the corner from here and would be there for breakfast, lunch and dinner almost everyday.
The staff is super friendly and I believe it's the best pizza in town.
I also did the mural outside and I love seeing all pictures people post and how people engage with the work and how it becomes a part of their experience there.
The Brooklyn Museum is a great place to visit for contemporary and historical exhibitions, showcasing a range of international and local artists as well as its socially engaging and creative program it also hosts a party on the first Friday of every month. Its a great place to see performances (like these two cool cats) and mingle with the locals in the neighbourhood as well as art enthusiasts who come from afar to get down together and party in between the Rodin sculptures.
Webster Hall is a solid venue, and a frequent stop for many great bands on their rise to glory. If you've only got a few nights in the city, chances are a great act will be playing here.
