Full disclosure, I have not actually been to this place yet, but I've only heard amazing reviews of their dim sum brunch. Super small restaurant, and right next to Blind Barber if there's a wait.

If you're looking for an incredible meal, Blanca is the place. It's in the garden of the Roberta's compound, 21-course tasting menu, wine pairing is on point. Reservations are impossible - but Allegra (who gave you the keys) is the head reservationist there and will get you a spot!

Drinks & Nightlife

There's no door, just a projection on the sidewalk in front of an open entrance. But just go, it's the best cocktail you'll ever have in the most intimate setting in Williamsburg. It's the cash-only bar i'd ever recommend because it's just that fantastic. Also, first Tuesday of every month is Tiki Tuesday.

Garden bar is great in the Fall/Winter. Perfect combination of indoor and outdoor vibes - plus there's a daily slushie that runs you about 7 bucks, and an evening full of dancing.

Same owner as Commodore (near Roebling) and Tutu's (stone's throw from Roberta's), but entirely different. Great pina coladas and margaritas galore. After 9pm, the roof is super packed and the dancefloor is on fire.

So much latin dancing. So much Cachaca. SO MUCH Cachaca. Great for groups, but once you're in, you're in and dancing all night long with your friends and several talented samba-strangers. Also, cash-only.

Best craft cocktails in Central Williamsburg. Five-star people watching. Great for dates, or a quiet solo drink at the bar before 7pm. Cafe Colette, same owners, is a great dinner spot to follow and diagonal from Delmano.

Shopping

The kind of vintage store you imagine when you think of a "brooklyn vintage shop." All of the items are priced well, if not a bit underpriced for what you're getting. Designer + kitsch, it's great.

Impeccable assortment of designer-by-the-decade vintage pieces - many one-of-a-kind. Given it's right off bedford, prices are less of steal, but it won't really matter when you find a vintage piece from the 40s that you suddenly can't imagine life without it.

Huge selection of kitsch vintage - military rags, every jersey you could ever imagine, and sundresses galore. However, the staff is SO rude, but the prices make it worth it. Sometimes, so venture with caution.
