Just go. This crew from Italy makes the most divine wood-oven pizza, plus a full menu of authentic Italian-influenced food. The tapas bar is also terrific, if you just want small bites and great drinks. And there's a bakery next door that makes incredible bread & pastries.

Legendary, pilgrimage-inducing fried chicken. Seriously, people come from all over to this little spot down the street from our house. It's not big, so go early or plan to wait.

Our local coffee place, which happens to have gluten-free crepes that are to-die-for. Plus tons of gluten-y treats like fresh-baked french pastries, if sweets are more your thing. Great to sit in the sunny window and watch the neighborhood go by.

It's a food hall, but it's also a showcase of the best food (and the most famous) that Brooklyn has to offer. Good for browsing your way through a meal.

Parks & Nature

Best playground for kids under 10. It's a few blocks further than our local playground, but it's so much fun, it's worth an extra couple of blocks.

Very well-stocked newcomer to the Bed Stuy grocery scene! It's a block or two further than Super Foodtown (in the other direction), but the selection of organic produce, fresh baked bread and specialty foods is far superior.
