Brooklyn in five mandatory stops
On the other side of the river things happen. In fact, things have been going on since long before the series _ Girls _ made you fall in love with a district where life does not stop, creative and creative, showing itself on its sidewalks in the form of shops, restaurants and bars from which you will not want (nor will you be able) to leave.
From finding the best hotel to wake up to a view of the iconic Williamsburg Bridge **even doing yoga in Domino Park ** in front of the imposing facade of one of the most important sugar factories in the country, including **recovering strength at Joe's Pizza ** with what has been the "best slice of New York since 1975", brooklyn always (always) will have a surprise at hand.
Brooklyn in five mandatory stops
This video sums up a perfect day in the neighborhood on the other side of Manhattan, the eternal Brooklyn, always alternative, always new.
We started waking up in one of the first hotels that gave way to the Brooklyn of all travelers, the Wythe Hotel ; located in a early 20th century cooperage , from the decoration to the amenities that you will find in your room, everything is local products.
Inside, there is a cinema, an events room and a perfect place to enjoy the pop-up stores that a local designer organizes every month. The award? You will find it on its terrace...
The sunset totem pole in Manhattan
We continue the walk taking care of ourselves, giving ourselves to the natural cosmetics of Le Labo , a place where you can also taste third-generation organic coffee. Here the product matters; its origin, more.
That is why in this Franco-American store (with several delegations in the city) unisex cosmetics are produced, plant-based and not tested on animals.
Of all those that dot the city, the one in Brooklyn is the only store that unites the concept of cosmetics with its organic cafeteria and a perfume laboratory. Will we find our essence here?
In the cafeteria customers can taste from a latte to a green tea flavored with popcorn. Everything, as the house commands, sustainable and delicious.
Le Labo plant-based products
Not without controversy, a few months ago it opened Domino's Park , a new green space in the city (and on the banks of the Hudson). There in this old sugar factory , the idea of a community space is recovered as a promenade, a playground for children and pets, and a training ground.
Its taco bar and terrace overlooking the Hudson are some of the attractions, as well as its volleyball court overlooking the river.
Tacocina, the Mexican restaurant in Domino Park
And what do we eat? Given the massive openings of stores (and also the closing of others, of course), there are great totems that, hopefully, will never die. Such is the case of Joe's Pizza, the famous emporium founded by Joe Pozzuoli is quite an institution, known by all New Yorkers for being the "best slice of NYC" , since 1975.
The good? Gentrification has not been able to with this pizza corner and, furthermore, neither with its prices (which continue to be maintained year after year). Happiness made at the moment and served in a cardboard. Few things are so similar to happiness after a long day in the neighborhood or a night out.
And, precisely, if what you are looking for is a party, you have to try the Manhattan of cachaça in Kill Devil, the "house of the spirits" . With more than 125 varieties of rum, this bar aims to recover the essence of classic cocktails saying goodbye to snobbery.
All mixes are made with juices and ingredients freshly prepared by the manager, Anthony Gomez . In addition, craft beers from all over America and Creole cuisine with Mexican touches to snack in a spirit of _ diner _ in the purest American style.
