Very much a local hang - the owner Lily knows almost everyone who comes in by their first name; she's a sweetheart. Jazz every Saturday and Sunday in the afternoon. Great food for reasonable prices, good espresso, unusual teas.

The most legit carribean food in the neighborhood - I know people who've visited from halfway across the world and insisted on dropping in here. The Jamaican breakfast and the whole baked fish are awesome.

Drinks & Nightlife
One of the most spacious bars in the neighborhood; with one room strewn with armchairs and pool tables and the other with a fireplace nestled in by the padded booths and marble-topped bar, it's one of the best spots in the hood find a quiet corner and have a drink with your sweetheart. Good food as well.

Extremely solid neighborhood bar. Brooklyn chic (exposed brick, copper and wrought iron tables and light fixtures, et cetera...). Extensive list of reasonably priced whiskies, great selection of local beer. Best burger in the neighborhood; all food is cheap, around $10 an entree.
