I live in Prospect Heights, so I’m a regular at Soda—I go there every day. I know a lot of people there. I actually have the keys to the bar, but I don’t even work there!”
Photograph: Virginia Rollison “I love going to The Brooklyn Inn (148 Hoyt St at Bergen St, Boerum Hill, Brooklyn; 718-522-2525). I’ve been going there for so long—it’s so old! It was there long before Smith Street got like how it is today and everyone started moving there. It used to be the only cool bar in that neighborhood.”
Photograph: Jeffrey Gurwin “I like to spread the dollar around Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket (Flatbush Ave at Prospect Park West, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn; grownyc.org). Most things have just come off the farm, as opposed to the stuff you get at the supermarket that’s been on the shelf for weeks, you know?”
