Fort Defiance is the perfect neighborhood hang. No attitude, no pretense, just well made cocktails, house-made seltzer, and a menu that often throws a nod to New Orleans cooking.
Brunch is a mainstay for Home/Made and like their name implies, they try to source their ingredients as close to home as possible. Comfy couches, stylish crowd, you'll feel like you're hanging out at a cool friend's apartment.

Botanica is making cocktails the old-fashioned way with a modern twist. Mint, figs, baby Japanese cucumbers, and berries all come from neighborhood Red Hook gardens. Don't forget to check out the Murano glass chandelier.

Sunny's Bar is one of the original local's bars. It's only open three nights a week and there's live music. If you want cocktails, head to Botanica; if you want a local joint, head to Sunny's.
How could you go wrong with something named Chocolate Cloud Cookie from this American-styled bakery? You can't. Intense chocolate gooeyness made with Valrhona chocolate, it feels like chocolate air when you bite into it.

Key Lime Pie in Brooklyn? Yeah, that's what we thought. Worth getting is the Swingle: a 3-inch key lime pie, chocolate dipped, and frozen. Good combo of sweetness cut with citrus tartness.

- Bar Henry
A West Village bistro from the original owner of the Great Jones Cafe. Great for wine lovers: the sommelier has created a 100 bottle wine list, any of which can be purchased by the half-bottle. The remaining half? That's put on a board and sold by the glass.
