The Family Store is the best Mediterranean food you can get in New York City. That is all.

Stocks artists’ books and catalogs along with used and rare titles that focus on contemporary art, photography, and classical painting.

Lunch there before a visit at the MET with a walk in Central Park

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.

Best matcha lattes, don't try the udon, you'll fall in love with this place. Perfect lunch spot and amazing books! A must-go
