Grabbed a treat at Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory on a Saturday afternoon and luckily there was no line and plenty of seating. It was super hot outside, so we were happy to get a table with shade and a beautiful view of the bridge in the background.

We ordered the 3 scoops in a bowl and added butterscotch, whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles. Pretty good deal at $10.50. Chocolate chocolate chunk and strawberry were both good but peach didn't taste like anything to me, so I considered it more like a milk flavor ice cream which was good to balance the other flavors. The butterscotch was unnecessary and I wouldn't get it again. Would get whipped cream and sprinkles again though. Overall, not the best ice cream I've ever had, but creamy, classic and a good treat.

All ice cream is made on the premises and the staff was super nice.

Rock wood music hall is such a great venue! I’ve been here a couple of times and it’s a cool vibe, feels intimate, and there’s great music to discover. There are three stages and each stage has its own bar. Stage 1 is the smallest. Stage 2 is the biggest and has an upstairs with tables.

Really cute store with lots to look at! There are adorable characters everywhere and on pretty much everything - clothing, decor, toys, etc. The store greets you with a gigantic plush bear and one of the store workers was standing there solely to help people take photos. There’s a lot more photo ops inside too.

This is a great local cinema! The seats are big and comfortable and you can reserve them ahead of time, the screens and sound are great, and they always have good movies to choose from. Not to mention the tickets are cheaper than the National chains, only $11-14 for an adult. They have some cool art from local artists hanging up as well!

I think of this place as a big bodega with a good meat selection. The prices are similar to a bodega. They have all of the regular stuff at a grocery store along with prepared food, rotisserie chickens, bakery, desserts, etc. I prefer the produce at my local bodega as the stuff here is pretty soaked and not super fresh. Also, make sure to check your receipt because I’ve been overcharged here a few times.
