hopscotch

Go up the second floor of the health club and walk thruogh the path outside to get here. You can get a whole day pass + shoes for $25. Climb a few routes and work up an appetite.

Get a 16 dollar Japanese sparrow beer and a bowl Ivan Raman. I wouldn't get the pickle fries if you like having a skin on top of your mouth...

Put your name down at this cocktail place. We got there at around 8:00 and we still had to wait like a half hour for 3 people. The drinks are tight though. But there's no food so get your nacho base elsewhere. 

While your waiting for the call at Attaboy, go shoot a round of pool and grab a beer.

Grab a slice of thick crust pepperoni pizza.

A tiny, but thoughtfully outfitted coffee shop run out of a garage on Carroll Street. It's the perfect spot to pause on a hot summer day for an iced Americano. The owner, Dom, is a great guy with interesting stories about growing up in Brooklyn.  

On the way into Red Hook, stop at the recently expanded/renovated Lobster Pound for lunch. I love the Tuscan Lobster Roll, which is made with basil vinaigrette instead of mayo.

While there's not much 'garden' to speak of, it's worth the walk for the spectacular views of lower Manhattan of the Statue of Liberty. 

The perfect spot for a late afternoon drink. They have an amzing selection of wines as well as some of the best mixed drinks in South Brooklyn.
