Nostrand Avenue Pub

"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

"Savory and sweet biscuits available for delivery and takeout from 7am to 3:30pm - order online." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren

"DaleView specializes in gluten-free biscuits sandwiches. But this microbrewery in Prospect Lefferts Gardens also makes its own craft beers. Pair the two on their mural-covered outdoor patio on Nostrand Avenue, and we guarantee you’ll start to feel the fun side of your personality begin to thaw out for the spring." - nikko duren

"Daleview Biscuits & Beer is hosting a gallery opening event at their restaurant on Friday, April 23rd starting at 5pm, showing work from photographer Greg Horan. You can stop by for their regular menu of west coast IPAs and biscuit sandwiches, and buy some prints for a good cause. Half of the proceeds from photograph sales benefit the Racial Justice Network in Minnesota. Find more information here." - hannah albertine

"Nostrand Avenue Pub is open until 4am every day, but our go-to move is to come during Happy Hour, which runs until 7pm, and sit at a picnic table in the backyard. This casual Crown Heights bar also has a BYO food policy, and we recommend bringing in a few $6 plates of really good jerk chicken and some $1 festivals (basically long, sweet hushpuppies) from Peppa’s Jerk Chicken a block away." - Matt Tervooren
