Once there, you’ll check in with the friendly security guard, scan your barcode that was sent to you via email, and you’ll be in the Navy Yard. Arrive at “the world’s first commercially viable rooftop vineyard” between 12-5pm within that afternoon reservation window. Yes, you’ll need a reservation, but it’s because of security in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, not because of any intimidation tactics. Rooftops Reds is the exception to the rule. Rooftop bars are not usually known for their “chill vibes,” but more for bottle service and doormen. Photo: 2:30pm Hammock hang at Rooftop Reds This double hammock is just waiting for you and your sweetie in this secret rooftop vineyard. Cafe Gitane, 70 Hudson Ave., Vinegar Hill. Because there’s an early dinner planned for this neighborhood jaunt, you may want to simply have a croissant, chased down by two or three strong cappuccinos to get you ready for the day (and propel you out of this cozy cafe where, otherwise, you may be tempted to stay). The crowd was as perfectly balanced and interesting as the food: organic, baked egg sandwich on a brioche orange blossom waffles and the city’s best avocado toast. On one of the most darling corners in Brooklyn (next to Vinegar Hill House), we were seated promptly amongst a large group of visiting Parisians in vintage Boys N the Hood t-shirts, two well-traveled elderly artists, a couple possibly on a ‘morning after’ breakfast date, and one small dog. As of this summer, Cafe Gitane has opened a Vinegar Hill location, which is every bit as charming, but without the scene. You may have fond memories of brunching at Cafe Gitane’s Mott Street location, where off-duty models tuck into avocado toast, and the coveted sidewalk tables are harder to come by than front row at Fashion Week. Dumbo is a neighborhood that wants to show off for you why not let it? Related: Catch the last weekend of PhotovilleĬafe Gitane has landed in Brooklyn, and it is even more charming than the original Manhattan location. For this latest 10 Hours In, we’ll take in rooftop vineyards, quiet cafes where you never wait for brunch, Off-Broadway plays, and undiscovered bars, all in front of a backdrop of a dazzling skyline. There are exclusive social clubs, Miami club restaurants, and astronomical lines for pizza.īut when you go out of your way to avoid the throngs, Dumbo and Vinegar Hill are like a movie set of New York City. Residents avoid “Instagram Alley” aka Washington Street, where influencers are literally lying in the street taking photographs with a background of the Manhattan Bridge framing the Empire State Building. The neighborhood is now the most expensive place to live in Brooklyn, even with the clanging of the subways overhead and the uneven Belgian block streets tripping pedestrians as they cross. A plan like this would be laughed out of a Hollywood script, but in real life it worked better than anyone dreamed. Abandoned blocks were bought up by forward-thinking builders with dollar signs in their eyes, and rented specifically to artists to build up the new Soho. Dumbo, even with the throngs of tourists, is that place.ĭumbo (Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass) is a neighborhood of legend among developers. A special occasion, say, like an 11-year wedding anniversary or just an extra special date night, calls for a place that pulls out all the stops. If you want to your loved one to feel wined and dined, or better yet, say “yes,” you’ll need to move beyond your casual Brooklyn eatery. Photo: is not just a feeling, but a mood. Watanabe’s blended beauty is prepared with Brooklyn Gin, shiso syrup, lime and club soda, and flaunts the Japanese-inspired speakeasy’s suave confidence.īrooklyn Brewery is in the house! The suds staple’s Bel Air Sour beer is the star of this tequila-infused sipper.Dumbo is a neighborhood that will show off for you. Like many of the cocktails at Angel’s Share, this one’s name references to jazz (in this case, a cut by the Bill Evans Trio). Jimenez’s drink-Dorothy Parker gin, Kümmel liqueur, tomatillo-serrano sherbet, lime and celery-has the same high energy that sent us flying at his celebrated tequila and mezcal bar near the Bowery, Ghost Donkey. Working with our 2018 Time Out Bar Award winners-Ignacio “Nacho” Jimenez from Ghost Donkey and Takuma Watanabe from Angel’s Share-as well as Brooklyn Brewery, we created a kickass menu of signature cocktails and brewskis made just for our market and served at all three bars. We invited three such treasures to Time Out Market, where they’ll showcase the best of New York’s cocktail culture. That’s because we know that a truly spectacular watering hole is a rare and treasured thing. At Time Out, we cover the New York bar scene with as much scrutiny and passion as we do our restaurants.
