We've been here for a good 15 minutes, so it only felt right to immediately do the one thing all locals absolutely loveeee new people to do: create a definitive list of our favorite neighborhood spots to eat. (Read: not actually definitive.) We are fully prepared to get destroyed for this. The comments stay on, we only have ourselves to blame. Our favorite spots so far, in no particular order...
1. Playlita Mariscos. This taco joint is directly across the street from us and we've eaten there roughly 5,000x this week. Pescado tacos are insane.
2. Millies Café. Drool-worthy breakfast spot right up the block. Order everything.
3. Ototo. Japanese sake bar with incredible food, a helluva playlist, and a walk-ins only policy. Worth the wait without a doubt.
4. Bodega Park. Had a bacon egg and cheese from this spot that truly blew me away today. Do NOT tell my bodega back in Greenpoint.
5. Picnic. Our neighbors to the left make a damn good cup of coffee and matcha that is lights out.
6. Maury's Bagels. Admittedly have not been here yet, but have heard great things and we trust anyone named Maury.
7. Win-Dow. If you saw us eating smash burgers at 10PM on the floor of the store last night, no you didn't. Also, low key... chicken sandwich is special.
8. Bacari. Super vibey spot tucked away right around the corner from us. Share everything, it's all great.
Alright chat, what are we missing? Where should we go next?
