Coffee Shops

Pueblo Querido : Our favorite local coffee shop for so many reasons. It has amazing Colombian coffee, juices, and baked goods. The pandebono and empanada will not disappoint! Grab to go and go sit by the water.
Butler : Popular window coffee shop for a quick caffeine boost. Very popular spot in the hood.
Partners : Bustling coffee shop with lots of seating. Rumor has it you can't go wrong with the breakfast burrito.
Upstate Stock : Rustic spot with espresso drinks & pastries, plus locally made home goods & gifts.

Restaurants

Café Mogador : Buzzy outfit serving traditional Moroccan tagines, couscous & more in comfy yet charming quarters.
Shelter : Hopping restaurant serving pizzas, empanadas, brunch & more in a rustic space with communal tables.
Gran Torino : Restaurant & bar with outdoor picnic table seating open for breakfast, lunch, dinner & brunch.

Joe's Pizza : Cozy corner outpost of a longtime counter-serve pizza joint prepping New York–style slices & pies.

Bars

Kent Ale House : Bar and Irish Pub. Great bar food, drinks on tap, and lots of TVs. We love the friendly staff!
Brooklyn Brewery : Take a free brewery tour and kick back with a flight of beers. The story of how this local brewery became a global name is pretty cool! Try the Bel Air Sour! It’s one of our favorites.
Dolly's : Dolly Parton themed, classic Brooklyn bar. Good (cheaper) mixed drinks.
George Jack's : Solid dive bar close to the hotel area.
Radegast Hall & Biergarten : Fun German biergarten in the area.
