Brooklyn Hidden Gems
Food scene
This brunch spot is hidden away behind a parking lot. It's an old brick farmhouse that's been remodeled to feed the masses. They have great coffee sourced from Sey, a Brooklyn micro-roastery, and use fresh ingredients in all their dishes.
Tip: Get there early on the weekends. Fairly empty on weekdays. Great work spot. Closes at 4pm.
Fun Fact: See if you can spot the two lawn chairs. That was there when the owners originally bought the space and they decided to leave it because they believe the spirits of the original owners are watching from there.
