My favorite local spot. A French bistro with full menu and bar. Nice ambience and range of food from burgers and mussels & frites to full course entrees. Pizzas (not exactly French?) are good and inexpensive.

Coney Island
Iconic historic amusement park and beach.
Red Hook was not originally residential or commercialized, and more recently has transformed into a point of interest for its unique waterfront location and terrific bay views. Locals enjoy biking and walking here because it is less crowded and undiscovered than other neighborhoods. Check out new galleries, shops and cafes.
