Great fish tacos, nice atmosphere, good drinks. Good for a date. They used to play great music. If they're playing top 40 again just complain for me please. Last time they changed it.

Drinks & Nightlife
Bossa Nova Civic Club
1271 Myrtle AveGreat dance seen. Younger crowd.
Very strange place (in a good way). Could just be a chill night with the regulars, or they could be doing a burlesque show with half naked fold wearing saddles. French food, good drinks.

This a old fashion speakeasy type place. There is no sign - just a tiled facade. You might want to plug the address into a GPS and then ask someone on the street when you're close. The drinks are expensive but the place can't be missed. Take a cab and don't miss this place.

Parks & Nature
Central Park is great, but did you know the same guy who designed central park also designed Prospect Park and felt Prospect was a his best work? Check out the lake are and just walk around. If you have time there is a botanical garden that cost money but is cool too.
