Guidebook for Brooklyn
Food Scene
Specializes in fancy deli food like Pastrami and Ruebens.
It’s a bit pricey, but it’s super delicious. It’s also pretty well known and can have a wait, especially for Brunch.
Personally, I prefer their non-smoked meat stuff the best and would look to their daily specials. I come here a lot, it’s super good.

Awesome sushi / Japanese food place.
Pretty good prices considering it’s extremely good Japanese food. Still it’s not cheap.

THE MOST SERIOUS COFFEE! When people make fun of Brooklyn this is what they’re making fun of.
Coffee is the most delicious in the neighborhood, but it’s also the most expensive. Ice coffee is particularly delicious.
Two notes : one, the hot coffee is pour over only so it takes a while to make. Two, there’s pretty much nowhere to sit or hangout. Definitely a to-go spot.
