351 7th AveWonderful bar with a mix of everyone — something you rarely see in a bar. Great selection of beers. There’s food, tho it’s nothing to write home about. Outdoor seating during the pandemic. Or take a to-go cup & sit on a bench in the circle or at the edge of Prospect Park & watch the passing parade of people.

Great old-style Italian-American Brooklyn bakery. They fill their cannoli right when you order so they don’t get soggy. Don’t miss their delicious little pignoli cookies!

Fantastic bakery, wonderful breeds & breakfast treats. But try to get there early — they sell out fast. Or order one of their amazing chicken dinners to take home! Their new wine bar, Runner Up, is also great — interesting, delicious food & good wines.
