"Barring the construction of your own personal treehouse in McCarren Park, it can be hard to find a comfortable public space to be alone in Williamsburg. Ammazzacaffe is an exception. It’s relaxed, there’s live jazz every Sunday, and it feels slightly hidden from the rest of the neighborhood. They also make pastas that you won’t find on every other Italian menu in the city, like agnolotti with walnut pesto and reginette with pancetta and caciocavallo." - hannah albertine
