Great coffee shop just a few blocks from the apartment. As listed in Zagat: "From the founder of Gorilla Coffee comes this Bushwick roaster and coffee shop offering espressos, pour-overs and other carefully brewed cups in addition to milkshakes and more surprising concoctions in a big, skylit space with roasting machinery on view. Collaborating with Roberta’s, it serves a signature Magic Bialy (topped with caramelized onions, prosciutto and a poached egg) along with pastries from local purveyors."

An iconic, old school Roumanian butcher shop in Ridgewood, Queens, neighboring Bushwick, with delicious smoked and cured meats all made in house. It's a comfortable, long walk on a nice day or a short uber ride away. Definitely worth the trip. I usually just give the butcher a $20 bill and tell him to just surprise me with an assortment of treats. They never disappoint!

Check out the new Whitney, now located in the Meat Packing District! It's an easy L train ride and short walk over. There's a great new food court along W. 14th to get a coffee and a bite to eat as you walk over. And then when you're ready for some fresh air, take a stroll along the Highline with great views of the Hudson River.
