**EAST WILLIAMSBURG**
A gem that's in the neighborhood, but off the beaten path.
Diagonal from Roberta's.
20-25 min train (take the L and get off at Morgan)/carride
40 minute walk (Don't knock it, I do when it's warm out)
Beautiful open space, high ceilings. Great ambiance and great vibe. Can get rather busy. Some outdoor seating as well, sometimes a movie projector up against the building and people sit and gather outside. Iz cute. Great for cocktails. Vintage movies play inside and there's a theater in the back. Schedule of shows/films located on their website.
Hot mess chicken sandwich & waffle fries are my fave. Barbeque and ranch on the side. Blue cheese if you're into that.
Sadly they're not paying me. I'm paying them. But <3.
