Drinks & Nightlife

I eat here sometimes 3 times per week! It's a quick little walk, reasonably priced, amazing food, and fantastic beer selection! Definitely hipster.

A great sports bar, TONS of outdoor seating! They set up a projector during games (right now, The World Cup!) and the crowd is very lively and exciting! Great place for a burger & beer.

Even closer coffee! For when Dunkin Donuts will just not do. They also have a decent brunch on the weekends (I recommend the Cafe Latte Egg Wrap & Sweet Potato Fries). Service is a little slow.

Shopping

If you must go to Target (believe me I freakin' love Target) there is one just across the river! Walk east on 145th, then turn left on River Ave. Once you are done-- hop in the taxi line, $10 home!
