Shout out to the cinnamon swirl bagel with blueberry cream cheese - it was pretty epic.A welcome email is on its way. It doesn't get more Williamsburg than sipping a cold brew coffee from their outdoor coffee while listening to the music.īagelsmith is ideal for a quick and cheap breakfast - there have about 10 different types of bagels and countless fillings. Speaking of radio stations, The Lot Radio is an independent radio station streaming 24/7 from a reclaimed shipping container on an empty parking lot - and it's funded by the adjacent coffee kiosk. You can get a takeaway and sit in the outdoor bar, or head inside the restaurant which has a full functioning radio station inside. Roberta's is actually over in the Bushwick neighbourhood, but this fun pizza place is apparently Beyonce's fave when she's in town, and is well worth the walk. ![]() Apparently the brunch there is fantastic, but we went for dinner and gorged on beetroot ravioli and roast lamb (and the burgers looked even better). ![]() It's small, cosy and diners spill out onto tables on the sidewalk when the evenings are warm. One of our favourite meals was at Five Leaves, the restaurant the late Heath Ledger was planning to set up before he died - and his estate went towards establishing it. Where we ateĮating out (and getting good coffee) in Williamsburg is a dream - there are countless restaurants and our friends that lived there assured us that most places were pretty decent. Bagel Pub also did great cold brew coffee - a Brooklyn staple in the summer months. We ate at the Cent Anni, an Italian trattoria with a chilled outdoor patio where you could get a foccacia sandwich, fries and a beer for $10. We took a break in Crown Heights, a short walk from the gardens, settling on Franklin street where there are loads of unpretentious but decent bars and restaurants. If you're up to the hour long walk there (you can take the subway too), from Williamsburg you'll go through some other Brooklyn neighbourhoods, including some parts of the borough that haven't reached 'hipster' status yet, but are still peppered with quirky shops, cafes and bars worth stopping in on the way. But if you're after a more scenic route, you could make like us and walk across the Brooklyn Bridge into the city - although I'd get the subway as close as you can to the Brooklyn Bridge - it's an hour's walk from Williamsburg! We chose to do the walk at sunrise, which was pretty incredible - although depending on what time of year you visit, that might mean a VERY early start. You can easily hop across the river to Manhattan via Bedford Avenue subway - two stops and you're in downtown Manhattan. If you're on a budget, or travelling with friends, the New York Loft Hostel, which is actually on the Williamsburg-Bushwick border, comes highly recommended as a cheaper option. ![]() It's pretty hard to tear yourself away from the pool (non-guests can pay $30 to use the pool for the day, making for excellent people-watching), but the hotel also has a gorgeous, not-too-crowded rooftop bar with comfy striped sofa where you can kick back and watch the sun set. ![]()
