Cute place. Cozy, delicious cocktails, lovely interior. And they even had someone to find us a place to sit - it was the only seating available at the time, but I get what they were going for.

I am so glad I discovered this place. Sandwiches are my go-to for workday lunches, and Subway just wasn't doing it for me anymore. BB is a great concept: basically, you build your own sandwich, choosing from a long menu of fresh meats and cheeses, breads, condiments and toppings. Every component tastes fresh and delicious. You can even control the amount of each component -- a little more of this, a little less of that. Don't expect to stop by the shop and place your order, or eat in for that matter -- this is pick-up only. The NOMAD location is up on the second floor, above an unrelated 6th avenue storefront. If you don't look up, and look carefully, you might walk right by it.

This place is a Park Slope institution that's been around for as long as I can remember. And it's still amazing. Three-plus storefronts' worth of what seems like every toy imaginable. I stopped in recently to get a gift for a 7yo boy and was at a total loss for ideas. The store manager (or owner? I wish I had asked her name) jumped into action and spent the next 10 minutes walking me through every section of the store and giving me so many ideas my head was spinning. Then I found the Lego room, with its comprehensive selection of Lego Architecture and other adult-oriented Lego sets, and I nearly forgot why I stopped in in the first place!
