Frankel's Delicatessen & Appetizing
631 Manhattan AveDelicious breakfast bagels nearby. Also great Matzoh Ball & Babka when available
Their cafe is excellent for breakfast and lunch ( I often go there for morning coffee & a pastry or their yogurt with pine nuts & berries). Dinner is outstanding Italian food in a beautiful vibe. One of the best restaurants in Brooklyn, winner of a James Beard Award - hard to get tables at but you can just try walking in around 5pm and putting your name down which often works.

Amazing Taiwanese food - really hip spot, great cocktails, and one of my top 3 restaurants. The Win Son Bakery across the street is also fantastic (including for breakfast) and they have many similar items. Fried Chicken Sandwich here is incredible.

Reunion
544 Union AveTasty Israeli spot - I like coming here for breakfast & lunch
Run by the folks who own Frankel's nearby, this spot feels like a modern-take on a nostalgic American restaurant - fun place to hang out and grab a beer served in iced mugs at the bar. Their food is really solid too.

Local trendy Bathhouse in the neighborhood - you can book a time online. It's not that big but it's a nice space to go unwind for a few hours and they also have a solid restaurant upstairs.

This might not be for everyone (the teas are pretty earthy), but this tea house that opened in the neighborhood is a really beautifully designed space, and a great chance to explore some high quality teas and tasty match pastries.
