615 Manhattan Ave

Start with cocktails such as a frozen espresso martini, or explore the cellar's 200-plus bottled and canned beers. Natural wines and seasonal comfort food make this a flexible first round with friends.

93 Norman Ave

Keep the group fueled with big, thin-crust slices at this old-school Greenpoint counter. Seating is limited, so treat it as a quick food stop rather than a long sit-down.

Mon – Thu, 10:00 – 18:00; Fri – Sun, 09:00 – 19:00

38 Norman Ave Unit B

Pause for single-origin matcha and custom-whisked drinks at this Japanese tea shop, not a cocktail bar. This is the daytime stop: visit before closing rather than saving it for late at night.

44 Wilson Ave

Finish in Bushwick with live music, a pool table and a jukebox at this neighborhood dive. Inexpensive drinks and vegan bites give the group options between sets.
