A little on the pricier side, save this place for a date night. THE BEST food I've had in Bushwick by far. Love, love this new spot. Wood-fired pastas, homemade everything, all around perfect.

You've allll heard of it. Great thin crust gourmet pizza, and a must-try for first time visitors. The wait to get a table can be insane so try to go during off hours or during the week.

My favorite bar in all of New York. Owned by a local and adorably perfect. Feels like you've stepped back in time. Be sure to snag a seat at the window and grab a taco next door if you get hungry :)

To get a feel of the vibe of Bushwick, definitely check out Birdy's. Can be a little young some nights, but it's always pretty busy. Nothing spectactular - just cheap drinks, pinball, and locals :)
