Delicious, authentic vietnamese cooking. It is very small and not a lot of seating but we often go for takeout because the food is so good...

Bushwick's famous pizza place! Many people say this place put Bushwick on the map. (although many also say it's technically in East Williamsburg, depending who you ask).
Take the L train to the Morgan Station from the house and this is a great place to start when exploring all that Bushwick has to offer. http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/robertas/
It does get crowded, so if you have to wait you can get drink at the bar. Or you can put your name on the list and get a drink at Syndicated which is very close by.

Wonderful pizza and tapas restaurant in the neighboring Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood. Great for brunch or dinner. They only take cash. Also there is a wonderful bakery attached to it around the corner called Saraghina Bakery. It's a great place to pick up pastries and baked goods for your breakfast the next day. It's about a 10 minute Uber ride there.

If you're going to a park in Manhattah, Central Park is a must.
However, Madison Square Park is a convenient and pretty park close to the Flatiron neighborhood and walkable to the shops on 5th Avenue and to Chelsea. The original Shake Shack is there for lunch or you can go across the street to Eataly to explore the indoor food hall, café, or the beer garden on the roof. Also there are always very interesting art installations in rotation throughout the year in the park.

This is our go-to corner deli, which is a smaller grocery shop. They sell essential items like drinks, beer, and toiletries and snacks. They also have a small kitchen behind the counter so you can order sandwiches and hot food. There are many other delis like this one but we think the people here are the friendliest and most helpful.
