Guys, this is one of my faves. If you love Senegalese food that's full of flavor or even if you want to try for the first time this is a must! Small and cozy restaurant with decor to reflect the Senegalese culture and food to make all your taste buds happy. Great for couples, friends and solo diners. Also check the incense shop next door. I think you might like it as much as I do.

If you crave some food with Caribbean flavor, try A&A Bake and Doubles shop. Don't question me on this, just go and ask for doubles with everything (that's the different sauces). If you don'tlike spicy food you can ask them to withhold the pepper sauce but trust me it's better with the pepper sauce. You can also try their Roti and chicken curry but whatever you do remember to order at least one DOUBLE you will not regret it.
Yelp or Google this place if you don'tnt believe me.

Some of the best Ethiopian food I've ever had has been at this place. Try everything on the Menu. The drinks are great too.

Take a short 5 minute uber/lift drive, a 6 minutes cycling or a relaxing 16 minute stroll from the apartment to this cool pizzeria. Decor is casual with a bit of a romantic feel. Food is good but if you're vegetarian or vegan, not much here for you to enjoy.No reservations required.

I cycle everywhere so if CitiBike isn't your thing you can access Williamsburg via Uber, Lyft Or public transportation. It's one of my favorite areas in Brooklyn. It's artsy, funky, cool vibe with TONS of restaurants and bars. I love SEA a huge and loud Thai restaurant with amazing decor and food. You will haveto speak loudly over the music for your date to hear you but nonetheless it's a whole vibe. The cocktails are great too.
