Food Scene

Our favorite place in the area! Great brick oven pizza, salads, appetizers, fish, steak in the best setting - indoors and outdoors! Wonderful shady garden. Always crowded, so go early if you can. Can be a bit loud inside. Also they have a great bakery right around the corner, entrance on Halsey Street, where you can get amazing bread, as well as great sausages for the BBQ, as well as other delicious things. Next door is the restaurant is their tapas bar, which serves cocktails and small plates, happy hour from 4 pm - 7 pm, good if you need to wait for a table at the restaurant

Very nice Haitian restaurant and coffee shop, indoors only, but big windows to the street. Update: They were just adding an outdoor space when I went by last, hopefully it is open by now.

J/Z train. Good line to take to the Lower East Side. This stop or the Kosciusko stop are about the same distance from the house. At rush hour, the trains sometimes run skip stop, meaning they only stop at Kosciusko or Gates Ave, so get out at either.
