Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn Heights

Every nabe in New York is beautiful in its own regard, but then there are breathtaking hoods like Brooklyn Heights. The area, with its perfectly preserved brownstones, quaint carriage houses and tree-lined streets, is also home to popular haunts on Atlantic Avenue. Before watching the sun set over the East River, hit up a speakeasy bar reminiscent of the Palace of Versailles, grab a bite at a humble restaurant serving mouthwatering comfort food, and pick up a bottle of vino at a knowledgeable wine store.

Colonie
Brunch lovers flock to this barnyard-chic eatery for duck hash, eggs Benedict served on biscuits and tantalizing monkey bread coated in toffee sauce. 127 Atlantic Ave (718-855-7500, colonienyc.com)

DRINK HERE:

This dimly lit, Marie Antoinette–inspired speakeasy settled in the basement of the bistro Chez Moi serves rich and decadent sips in silver-plated chalices. 135 Atlantic Ave (347-227-8337, boudoirbk.com)
