Great coffee shop just a few blocks from the apartment. As listed in Zagat: "From the founder of Gorilla Coffee comes this Bushwick roaster and coffee shop offering espressos, pour-overs and other carefully brewed cups in addition to milkshakes and more surprising concoctions in a big, skylit space with roasting machinery on view. Collaborating with Roberta’s, it serves a signature Magic Bialy (topped with caramelized onions, prosciutto and a poached egg) along with pastries from local purveyors."

An iconic, old school Roumanian butcher shop in Ridgewood, Queens, neighboring Bushwick, with delicious smoked and cured meats all made in house. It's a comfortable, long walk on a nice day or a short uber ride away. Definitely worth the trip.
