Beer Garden In Williamsburg

Berry Park is a beer garden in Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY. A couple of  weekends ago I went there for a birthday party and I had so much fun.

Berry Park has an indoor garden with picnic tables like any other beer gardens. The indoor area is very dim. I'd love to see this place in the day time. One thing this beer garden is known for is they have a great variety of craft beers.

Prior to going there that night my boyfriend and I ate dinner at Keg & Latern in Greenpoint, Brooklyn NY (I'll be doing a blog on Keg & Latern as well) and we did a little pre-gaming as well.

So when we got to Berry Park my first beer was a Leffe Blonde. Since I like wheat beers I figured this might be somewhat similar. I'm glad I picked that beer because it was a great choice and was very smooth. So after everyone got their drinks we decided to go to the roof top. It was a beautiful October night to be up on the roof top. Just like every other roof top it had a bar with all the same beers as the bar downstairs, but this time around every table was packed. It took our group about thirty minutes to finally get a table.

Then once I was finished with my Leffe Blonde I switched to the Aventinus which is a strong German beer. The glass it came in was huge and the bartender was right because I had one glass and that was my last drink for the night. I wasn't looking to get bombed, but I had a good buzz going on.

After hanging out on the roof top for a while we decided to go downstairs because that night it felt a little muggy out. When we got downstairs the DJ was playing good music and while you're having the most fun that's when time goes by the fastest. After what felt like just a little bit of time it was already 3AM and it was time to go home. Although the place doesn't close till 4AM, I had to get outta there already. Some of the many joys of being an adult, you have to be semi responsible too.

Overall Berry Park is a great place to go to whether you're going out in a group or on a date. The next time I go there will be for brunch. Their brunch menu looks good and the night I was there I saw some people eating and it looked great.

So there it is another cool spot to go to in Williamsburg.

I can't even be mad at him photobombing my picture. LOL!!!

Breakfast Hot Spot

Bagel Bin
86-10 Jamaica Ave
Woodhaven NY 11421

Every neighborhood has a bagel store that everyone buys their breakfast/lunch from. I think one of the best bagel stores out there is the Bagel Bin located in Woodhaven.

On the weekdays they have an awesome breakfast special. For $3 you can get a breakfast sandwich (with any meat) with a hash brown and coffee. So here and there I'll take advantage of this deal and get myself a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on whole wheat toast. I use to get it on a bagel, but it was too filling. So I've learned that getting it on whole wheat bread will get me full, but not as full as the bagel. Then the other deal they have is for an egg and cheese sandwich with a hash brown and coffee is all for $2.

Those specials are worth it. Besides their specials everything at the Bagel Bin is very affordable. Which is great if you're on a budget and especially with the holidays coming around. Every penny counts. I like to buy my breakfast there and bring it to work because let's face it if I was to get a bacon egg and cheese sandwich with a coffee and hash brown in Manhattan I'll probably be spending more than $5. So I'm saving a whole bunch by getting breakfast here.

Since this is the only bagel shop in Woodhaven Saturdays and Sundays are always packed. I would suggest calling in your order and picking it up. I've been there many mornings on the weekend to get breakfast for my family and it really is worth it.

The Bagel Bin is a great place offering great food and service. If only more places can be like the Bagel Bin New York City would be a even better place : )
