Grab a berry doughnut from Dough, a cup of hot or cold brew coffee from Crop to Cup, and escape the madness by eating on the pier to the south with killer views of Manhattan
Great ambiance, great staff, great whiskey. Be adventurous and ask the staff for recommendations. They know what they're talking about.
Relax at the N 5th pier with a full view of the manhattan skyline. Maybe even watch a sunset.
Every Monday night, starting at 10pm, they play vintage Simpsons episodes in the main bar.
Ride your bike here, bring a blanket (or don't), lay in the grass and get a sweet view of Manhattan.
For the bowling purists out there, go here instead of the trendier Brooklyn Bowl nearby. Grab some friends, a pitcher of Victory Prima, and avoid the lanes with poles.
The Hill-side guys are known for making ties and scarves. Now they've created a clubhouse in Williamsburg for grown-up kids. TIP: Buy a vintagey backpack and fill it with Mast Brothers chocolate.
This bar has about 200 absurdly obscure beers (including 21 on tap). The Omnipollo Nebuchadnezzar is a great double IPA.
Not very big portions for the prices, but that being said, the food is spectacular, just manage your expectations.
Too broke for the show? Sit down at the bar, order a $3 beer and watch the show through the huge glass window. Works great when they run the live sound into the bar, still kinda funny when they don't.
