Eric Abergel: Another incredible Italian resto from Missy Robbins and co. - just come with a good sized group and try as much as possible! Loved the Crostini and 30 clove rigatoni.

Courtney Desh: DEFINITELY get the ricotta and peppers app!!! Delicious. The prices are great too.

Wine Store · Cobble Hill · 40 tips and reviews
David Kaplan: This is one of the best places to buy one of the best-tasting spirits, Sorel. Great whiskey and local (Long Island/North Fork) wines.
estheribrown ✌🏻: The staff here are super friendly and helpful - they're happy to make recommendations and I've never had a miss w/one. Love the $12 and under table and the free wine tastings & classes. Great shop.
Scott Flaherty: I'm no connoisseur (tend to pick wine by the design on the label), but it seems like they keep the cheaper stuff on a table in the middle, and in general have a great selection.

Gregory Tomlinson: awesome market, great selection of fish and meet. if they don't have something you want, just ask and they'll find it or order it
The New York Times: Turn off your device and let the evening wash over you like a dream. Don’t return to the grid until afterward. Pinky swear on that. Read more.
KP: Everyone should shop here. Excellent food, good product selection, and great prices.
Lou D: Great rotating line of craft beers, sorted by distance from the bar. Food is also stellar. Try the burger, buffalo wings, rosemary or truffle fries. You won't be sorry.
Jon Turi: Try the spicy popcorn!
Cooper Smith: Ugh. They abandoned their jumbo wings and now serve the same ol' boring-size wings that you can get at 100 other places in the hood. I'm not mad, just disappointed.

Coffee Shop · South Slope · 74 tips and reviews
Hannah Nicdao: Best coffee in the neighborhood and hits my top 3 in NYC, where actual good coffee can be hard to come by (especially after having the best coffee in Australia for three years). EXCELLENT flat whites!
Serious Eats: This neighborhoody spot is often as quiet as a library on weekends, as Greenpointers and those vacationing to Brooklyn fill up the seats to quietly exist online...with cappuccinos.
The Corcoran Group: A true coffee bar with minimal seating and a strictly enforced no laptop rule. Perfect made-to-order coffee and rockstar baked goods.
Kiki Beckles: What a fantastic place!!! Great food, great atmosphere, great cocktails!!! Oh and let's not forget great music!
Sara: They play The The and The Police and Van Morrison (and other wonderful bands). The service is hit/miss and the food prices aren't excellent but the food, drinks, and atmosphere are excellent!
Iversen: PLAY CHESS IDIOTS
