At Brooklyn Kava, housemade kava shares the menu with coffee, tea, kombucha, and pastries. The walk-up window supports ordering from the sidewalk, a practical option for a brief stop. Inside, the compact room can get crowded, and regulars often strike up conversations. First-time kava drinkers may receive limited guidance while choosing among the options. The shop opens at 11:00 AM daily and stays open until 12:00 AM on Friday and Saturday.
Cross Bay Deli Traditions
Brother's Ravioli keeps Nicholas Pellegrino's 1986 pasta focus alive in Howard Beach, with baked ravioli finished with homemade sauce. The counter also turns out substantial heroes, including the Cugine and the MVP, plus a grilled chicken broccoli rabe wrap. Takeout and casual dining serve different kinds of stops, and the exceptionally clean storefront is run by a welcoming, accommodating team. Sunday service ends at 7:00 PM, while Monday through Saturday hours reach 8:00 PM.
