Judy's

"Coffee shop by day and wine bar at night, Goler says that Judy’s is a neighborhood staple in Sunset Park. “It has that neighborhood vibe,” she says. “From caffeine to booze, how can you go wrong?” There’s beer and sake too, and an ever-changing selection of natural wines spanning from elegant to wild and strange at totally affordable prices. “They’ve been amazing allies throughout this time,” Goler says. “Plus, you are encouraged to bring food from all the local joints nearby, which is a neat feature.” She recommends Don Pepe for Mexican food and empanadas, and Salvadorian food next door at Castillo. “The tamale guy parked on the corner every night is awesome too.”" - amber gibson

"Judy’s is a hybrid coffee shop-slash-low-key bar neighboring Sunset Park’s namesake green space. Get the day started early with creamy lattes and drip coffee out on the bar’s front patio, or grab drinks to-go and decamp for the park across the street." - Erika Adams, Eater Staff

"Judy’s is an easygoing neighborhood bar in Sunset Park that feels like the type of place where you can hang out for hours, whether its a weeknight or lazy weekend afternoon. The bar quietly stocks a killer beer and wine list, and outdoor seating is available on the sidewalk and a curbside outdoor patio. The bar is also directly across the street from the neighborhood’s sloping park, which boasts picture-perfect views of lower Manhattan on a clear day." - Eater Staff

"This low-key Sunset Park hang is a newer addition to the neighborhood, but already has locals swarming. Cafe by day and bar by night, Judy’s is a supremely chill place to get to know someone new. Plus, get a dollar off draft beer and wine from noon to 7 p.m. daily. Bien Cuit croissants are stocked in case needed." - Patty Diez
