This place is literally the best gem in North Brooklyn. I’ve lived in Greenpoint for 10 years and have never found a restaurant / cafe that has made me feel like if I moved away, my quality of life would be negatively impacted…. until Lovebirds.
On multiple occasions I’ve found myself working from the cafe / lunching during the day, then finding a reason to come back in the evening for the amazing pasta & fun wine events. It’s the best of both worlds, a cozy classic coffee spot until about 5pm, then it magically turns into a sceney restaurant packed out with trendy New Yorkers clinking glasses and gushing over Michelin guide-quality food.
Also, this is one of only 2 restaurants with outdoor seating actually on Mcgoldrick Park (another North Brooklyn hidden gem). It’s so pleasant to feel like you’re sitting in a forest but are still only a short stroll from the G train.
Finally, the staff here is amazing, and are a big part of what makes this place feel so special. I even held my most recent birthday celebration here and it was such an enjoyable event that I am considering making it an annual tradition.
Lovebirds is simply a quality spot that we’re lucky to have in the neighborhood.
