Oh my god I love this spot so much- it's cheap, casual, and filling. An extremely authentic taste of the Caribbean two blocks away. Get the jerk chicken platter or the beef patty.

This Mexican staple is at the center of Franklin Ave- Crown Heights' most happening street. You can find tons of really delicious bars and restaurants. I love Chavela's for their tasty margaritas and large portions.

Berg'n is a huge beer garden in crown heights. Join Tuesdays for trivia nights. There is a large outdoor seating area so feel free to bring Fido. Bartenders are really great.
