maybe the best Mexican food you will ever have in your life - moderate pricing, the chef (originally from the Yucatan peninsula i think) comes out to check on diners - great experience overall.

117 Columbia StreetBest Thai food ... ever.
Actually the best Italian bakery ever. Carroll Gardens is an old Italian neighborhood and there are some places that have stuck around - this is one of them, and the cookies, fresh-baked pastries, and cannolis will melt in your mouth. Amazing.

61 local sells mostly Brooklyn-made products (I think - they might include New York City as a whole, but it's mostly Brooklyn). This is a great place to grab a coffee, a meal, or a drink. They don't mind if you do work here either. Communal seating style. Some events and live music too.

Good for a classy drink, a game of pool, or chilling on the patio out back! Hard to spot without knowing it from the outside.

It's a good walk or a quick cab ride away, but live bluegrass Saturday nights and cheap drinks really can't be beat. Sunny's is a total neighborhood institution.

Arts & Culture
This is more than an art gallery - an artist residency space, radio station, technology lab, live music and events - it's a really community center! Check out their website and visit if you get the chance

A lot of live shows here! of all kinds - from music to storytelling to comedy - It is in a bar though, so I'm not sure kids could get in
