Their coffee—all brewed from carefully sourced Nicaraguan beans—is truly delicious.

A well-curated vintage movie poster store. Smart and friendly staff.

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.

A living archive preserving history and promoting scholarship of grassroots urban space activism by researching and archiving efforts to create community spaces. They also exhibit materials that document these actions, to educate people on the political implications of reclaimed space.

I buy gigantic dry-aged steaks and 1.5-inch pork chops here. The staff is really friendly and helpful.
