The bakery of the moment in the Cobble Hill area. There is a lot of competition. Go here for a pain au chocolat and coffee and consider your day elevated.

The classic Cobble Hill French bistro. The duck salad is one of my top 5 - you heard it correct - dishes in NYC. It is simple & mind-blowing. Always bustling, the staff is super as are the burgers.

The Carroll Gardens restaurant that launched the "Franks" NYC food empire. The staples on the menu still knock it out of the park. Always a memorable experience. A nice 10-minute walk away.

Another big time popular restaurant that attracts locals, tourists, and Manhattanites alike. They deliver results at brunch and evenings are a treat but get there early, i.e. 5:30pm.

The Franks' expanded beyond Spuntino to open this German steak house. You may initially angle for the steak frites but the German specialties will make you think twice. Order Austrian wine.

My butcher shop. You may or may not want to cook while in town but you surely could do for some prosciutto and provolone stuffed peppers, right? Try both the long ones and the short cherry peppers!

Central Park's sibling is roughly 1.5 miles away by foot or only 5 stops away on the F or G trains. It is breathtaking & also doubles as my go to running destination (there & back w/loop 6.5 miles).
