The BEST ramen in NYC! Hands down. Be prepared for a wait for a table, but it is so completely worth it. (Order the pork bone ramen special, you won't go wrong...)

New Orleans cooking--poboys, great brunch. Fantastic beer selection, and tons of space (at the bar, small tables, and rows of long tables with barstools). I go here when everywhere else is packed.

Sightseeing
Plaza del Gran Ejército
Flatbush AvenueBeautiful! Photogenic! A must-see!
The most gorgeous park in Brooklyn (and in my opinion, of all of NYC). An absolute must-see. Bring a picnic (and borrow our frisbee) on the weekend! Rent a bike and do some laps. It's beautiful.
