Sey Coffee
Must Have. Start in Bushwick. This is a pilgrimage site for coffee nerds. Beautiful, plant-filled space with Nordic-style light roasts.
Win Son Bakery
Must Have. Walk/Uber to East Williamsburg. Order the Mochi Donut and the Scallion Pancake Egg Sandwich. It is the modern Brooklyn breakfast essential.
The City Reliquary
Local Gem. A tiny, eccentric museum in Williamsburg filled with NYC artifacts, geological specimens, and curiosities. (A perfect nerdy alternative to the big museums).
The Four Horsemen
Reservation Required. (Fri-Sun Only). James Murphyโs (LCD Soundsystem) wine bar. The food is Michelin-star quality stealthily disguised as bar food. Get the bread and butter.
Rugged Road & Co
Walk North 6th St. Hit RRL (Double RL) for high-end Americana and Raggedy Threads for curated vintage workwear. Essential Williamsburg style.
Best Pizza
Snack. Walk to Havemeyer St. It lives up to the name. Wood-fired oven, paper plates, and the best White Slice in the neighborhood.
WNYC Transmitter Park
Views. Walk/Uber to the Greenpoint waterfront. Walk out onto the pier at WNYC Transmitter Park. It offers the best skyline view of Manhattan in the city, minus the tourist crowds of Dumbo.
Hana Makgeolli
Hidden Gem. Walk nearby to the tasting room of this artisanal Korean rice wine brewery. Itโs intimate, educational, and delicious.
Rule of Thirds
Design Icon. Walk nearby in Greenpoint. Stunning industrial design. Japanese comfort food (Hot Pot, Skewers) and soufflรฉ pancakes for dessert.
Maison Premiere
Icon. Head back to Williamsburg. The absolute best atmosphere in NYC. Oysters, Absinthe cocktails, and a New Orleans garden vibe.
