THE POST OFFICE
It’s really exceptional. The aesthetic on the inside is all natural wood. They have a small little kitchen and the selection of bourbon and whiskey is unreal.
Williamsburg
Lounge
Drinks - Brooklyn, NY
LAGKAGEHUSET

SWEET TREAT
It’s a coffee place where the guys from Noma go and they have beautiful pastries, as well. Get any of their cookies.
Christianshavn

COFFEE COLLECTIVE
Coffee Collective was one of my favorite places. It’s a small bakery shop and it’s really inconspicuous, but it’s the best coffee I could find in the city.

BOOKERS

Bookers is what I roll with. It’s my favorite to drink. I’m baking with it a little bit, but it’s too expensive to do that.
