"You’re drinking with a group around Crown Heights and people are getting hungry, but you don’t want to have a sit-down dinner or settle for over-breaded buffalo wings at a sports bar. Grab a few $6 plates of really good jerk chicken and some $1 festivals (basically long, sweet hushpuppies) from Peppa’s, and bring it all to Nostrand Avenue Pub, a block away. Sit at a picnic table in the big backyard or hang out by the bar, and if you come before 7pm, take advantage of Happy Hour discounts on wine or any of the beers on the solid draft list." - bryan kim, matt tervooren
