This is an approximate address, it's on Bergen, across the street from Connecticut Muffin. It's a nice place to sit on a sunny day.

Sterling Place is a nice walk when it's sunny. It was voted most green street in Brooklyn in 2013. Stop by 631 Sterling Pl to see this graffiti art http://instagram.com/p/lTBicOnQtv/

Essentials

This is right around the corner from my place. They have a decent selection of sundries; I'd skip buying produce from here though. The produce is fine, but there's a lot of green grocers on Nostrand.

I go to this vegetable stand at least three times a week. I buy zucchini, herbs, tomatoes, onions and fruit here.

I got to this fruit and vegetable stand at least twice a week. If I can't find it at CJ Fruit and Vegetables, these guys have it. They also have the best pineapple in the neighborhood.

Decent Teriyaki and Gyoza. I'd skip the sushi. They have the fastest delivery in the neighborhood if you order through Seamless.com.

I don't recommend this place. They have good pastries and ok soup and sandwiches. I prefer Lula Bagel. However, it's worth coming up here to see the Community Garden.

So, they say they're a french place. It feels kind of like a Bistro from Nice, perhaps? Still, it's not too bad, and it's a short walk. http://www.caferuedix.com/
