Great tiki bar, awesome cocktails! At one point they were doing a bottomless drag brunch...I’m going to assume that meant booze not pants :)

Awesome spot to grab all your organic and special dietary needs, right by the myrtle/wycoff L and M train. It’s the closest thing to a Whole Foods we have around here :)

This is the number one local bodega/grocery. It has the most variety of anything you could want, organic, gluten free, vegan, and international ingredients. If you just need to grab a few quick things and you don’t wanna walk all the way to the supermarket, this is the place to go!

I love this supermarket. It’s probably my favorite in the neighborhood but it’s not as close to my house as key food, and not as close to the Myrtle Wyckoff train stop at Food Bazaar is. Buy if you happen to be exploring that part of Ridgewood/Bushwick at some of the local bars and restaurants I’ve mentioned in the guidebook...it’s worth a stop on your way home. They even have a bar inside the supermarket!

Probably the best grocery store around. Huge store that carries a large selection of organic and international food and ingredients. Right next to the Myrtle/Wyckoff station where you catch the L or the M trains. Although I personally like Billy’s marketplace a bit more, this one is more convenient to the train.

Venues/Bars

Nowadays is an easy walk and has become one of the hippest spots around due to their huge yard and infamous weekend dance parties, mister Sunday. Open year round, summertime is in the open air outdoors, and in the winter they bring in a yurt and heat lamps so go see their awesome Djs!
