A&A does inexpensive Carribean takeout, and they’re best-known for their doubles. If you aren’t familiar with doubles, think of them as little sandwiches with thin, fried bread and some curried-chickpea stuffing. You’ll want a few of them. But be sure to get here early (they might sell out), and know that this place is cash only.

The neighborhood of Williamsburg has emerged in recent years as a pop-culture darling, and a force in defining NYC trends. While it seems that everyone has an opinion on Williamsburg’s true cultural cache, those that live in the neighborhood prefer not to overthink it. Instead, you’ll find a refreshingly care-free community where the motto is “do your own thing” - and always have a good time along the way. Views from the waterfront are quite stunning as well!
