Food Scene

This restaurant, one block away from my apartment, is consistently excellent as far as food, service, and only-in-Brooklyn ambience. They also have a great little wine bar around the corner.

Shopping

OMG if you eat meat and if you cook, you need to splurge on something from Fleisher's. If you eat cheese, check out their small but fabulous selection of local cheeses.

There are well over a dozen second hand clothing stores in my neighborhood, but Beacon's Closet is my favorite. The clothes here aren't just cheap-because-used, they're in good condition and chic.
