This location, only blocks from Brooklyn
Heights and a nexus of attractive brownstone neighborhoods, is absolutely ideal - except
for the fact that it's across the street from the Brooklyn House of Detention. It has a chic
minimalist vibe and the clean, all-white rooms are comfortable.
Eating
In a city with nearly 19,000 restaurants, and new ones opening every single day, where
are you supposed to begin? From Little Albania to Little Uzbekistan, your choice of eth-
nic eats is only a short subway ride away. A hotbed of buzz-worthy culinary invention
and trends like artisanal doughnuts, farm-to-table pork sandwiches and
haute cuisine
re-
interpretations of fried chicken, pizza and good ol' burgers and fries, NYC's restaurant
scene, like the city, is constantly reinventing itself. The latest foodie obsession is the flo-
tilla of roving, tweeting food trucks, the 21st-century equivalent of the classic push-cart,
selling gourmet cupcakes, dumplings and Jamaican curry goat and everything in
between.
A, B, C
Those letter grades you see posted in the windows of every NYC restaurant aren't
the report cards of the owner's kids. They're issued by the NYC health department
after an inspection of each establishment's hygiene standards. A is best and C
worst - anything lower, well, you probably wouldn't want to eat there anyway.
