The pizza is outstanding, and the wine list is well-priced. This is a great neighborhood place, suitable for parents with young kids, couples on a date, business partners at a working lunch, or even solo people wanting to read a newspaper over a coffee or glass of wine. The back yard is also quite lovely. Don't expect 4-star service. The whole restaurant is very laid back, and everyone seems to be on Italian-people-time.

Open Saturdays and Sundays. Food vendors, vintage clothes and shops, local Brooklyn makers. Definitely a must on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and to shop for an unexpected gift to take home.

This is the iconic flagship store from Miracle on 34th St. movie. It has a huge selection at good prices. It's close to the Empire State Bldg and has a cafeteria downstairs. If you come at Christmas you'll see the famous window decoration and or you might catch the Flower Show in Spring!

If you don't know Trader Joes then I should probably explain it in person. Amazing grocery store for premade meals and snacks etc, worth the long line, cheap. NO wine at this location though.

Until Whole Foods opens in Williamsburg, we still pick up our groceries at the Union Square location, and then hop on the L train. Trader Joe's is also down the block on 3rd Ave.
