Russian and Korean fusion bakery that is delicious and intriguing. The menu is limited but all the items are good choices. Honey Bakery makes the best home brewed kombucha I have ever had! The atmosphere is comfortable while quite and the staff is so friendly. The Cottage Cheese Cookies are a must have!

I've been a fan of the NYC location for years, and was delighted to see them in my own backyard. Solid Venezuelan food

Hands down, the best food in the neighborhood! I love Honduran food, and if you've never had it before, this place will knock your socks off. Some of the employees don't speak English well, so I'd encourage you to practice your Spanish there. A little container of food is $4 and a big container is $6. Go on Sunday they have this fish soup that's amazing! The BEST thing they offer, are baleadas! If you haven't tried them yet, please do. It's like a thick handmade flour tortilla with eggs , strips of steak, refried black beans, sour scream, white cheese. They are super filling and only cost $3. Pretty much my weekly breakfast choice.

Excellent service. Delicious, large portion, no-nonsense meals. Cash only! But there is an ATM if you aren't prepared. If you want good diner food, this is your place

I come to this bar a couple times a week and it's always great. There's a Cheer's sort of vibe, where everybody knows your name. All beer is craft beer and it is cheap and great! Lot's of rotating taps with excellent breweries. They also have a full cocktail bar for non beer folk

It's small, dark and has a lot of style. You can eat some pretty interesting foods here that are not often available on the menu- Try the Duck Burger or the Elk Meatballs! Their cocktails are delicious and get the job done when it comes to getting your buzz on.

Parks & Nature

This is by far the nicest park in New Jersey & New York City metro area. You have stunning views of Manhattan, The Freedom Tower, Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn, Governors Island, Verrazano bridge, and the New York City harbor. There is plenty of space for flying a kite, biking, fishing and relaxing. Here's a fun fact this is the closest you can get to the Statue of Liberty from land, but you are looking at her backside.
