Guidebook for Bushwick (mostly)
Food Scene
Cute coffee shop with great coffee and really nice group of people. Great for a morning cup or to sit and do some work. Started by a few friends who moved to NYC from New Jersey, and they all work there. Occasionally host art events, ask them about what’s going on. I like the avocado toast with egg and a coffee in the morning.

Roberta’s is a Bushwick icon with amazing pizza. It’s one of the first restaurants in the area that’s now internationally owned. Take a walk around the area near the Morgan L stop and see how this industrial has been transformed over the years with graffiti and young residents who have moved into the old factories and warehouses.

A real Bushwick favorite, quickly becoming one of the most popular spots in the neighborhood (can get very busy on the weekends). Ethiopian Vegan restaurant with very reasonably priced and delicious food. Smokey Ethiopian coffee ceremonies performed Wed 6pm, Fri 6pm, Sat 5pm, Sun 5pm with free coffee. I also highly recommend their brunch on the weekends. Say hi to DJ Jah on sunday for me, catch live music on Wednesdays.

My favorite little family owned taco place in the neighborhood. There are a million taco places in the area but this is the best one. Really cheap and quick eats.

24 hour korean grocery with the cheapest prices and a really awesome juice bar… 4 dollars gets you a big cup of juice, and they always make too much so they refill a portion of your cup! I love Mr Lemon, like for real.
JUICE: Pay at the register. Take the ticket to the juice bar, and select which fruits and veggies you want. Take a sip of the filled cup, and they will refill it with more juice!

Parks & Nature
This park is little known to visitors to the city, but it's one of my favorites and worth the trip, especially for one of the days you could use a break from the hustle and bustle of New York city. Beautiful park, amazing views of the Hudson River and the Palisades, and the Cloisters Museum which features pieces of European churches and castles brought over by the Rockefeller family.
