A Cozy, Neighborhood-y Date In Greenpoint

Tucked away in the northernmost point of Brooklyn, Greenpoint has an intimate charm that we adore. With its roasted chicken and homemade pappardelle, Italian restaurant Anella perfectly encapsulates this neighborhood’s welcoming appeal. The bread comes served in terracotta flower pots—can you think of anything more charming? Plan to linger over dinner here, where the ambiance is cozy, the backyard garden is magical, and the service is warm and attentive.

Enjoy more personalized attention at Alameda, where the knowledgeable bartenders are game to concoct any cocktail request you throw their way. Post up at the u-shaped marble countertop, sample a few drinks featuring their homemade vermouths and bitters, and take in the dark and romantic atmosphere.
