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.

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 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.

816 Nostrand Ave.Good place for coffee and pastries. They fit right into 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.
Masago Bistro

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.

Barboncino Pizza

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.
