Bushwick Eats

It's come to my attention that after living in my current apartment for close to three years that my neighborhood has some pretty spectacular options for food.  Bushwick, Brooklyn is currently a hotbed for struggling artists (including myself) and a plethora of specialty food places, restaurants, and cafes.  

Heading east from Manhattan, you'll immediately hit Williamsburg (hyper-developed, with many boutiques and restaurants), and then you will come across a weird post-industrial/up-and-coming residential neighborhood.  Some say it's East Williamsburg, some say it's Bushwick--geographic terminology is still being configured.  NYC real estate can be quite contentious.  

Getting off the L train at the Morgan stop you'll be confronted by broad streets with large industrial workshops, impressive graffiti, and some small but prosperous bodegas.  A closer examination, a quick tip, might get you into Roberta's, Bushwick's infamous pizza joint--its most famous clientele being the Clintons.  There's a really hidden asian fusion restaurant called Momo, I recommend their pork belly.  

One of my favorite places to get the best doughnut in the city (by Dough Doughnuts) is three blocks away from my apartment at a bar called The Cobra Club.

If you're in the area, I definitely recommend taking a walk around and finding some of many hidden food gems.
