Bushwick has gotten a lot of hype lately, and sure, it ain’t pretty, but squint and you can see the potential. The pioneering artists, cheap(er) loft spaces, and urban grit that made Williamsburg what it is today are all present, and speculators are banking on it to follow in its hipper neighbor’s footsteps.

Catherine's Caffe
I've been waiting for a cute, simple, non-grungy breakfast spot to open in Fort Greene, as most of the other options ( Academy, Mike's, Pratt, etc.) just don't do it for me. With a few Eastern European specialties, a barista with an attention to detail, and--most important of all--decent sausage patties to counteract a hangover, Catherine's Caffe fits the bill. Add in a garden and European service (that means it's slow but friendly, Yelpers), and Catherine's will do you just right. Unless you're in a hurry. Which you shouldn't be on a Saturday morning. Ever.

Northeast Kingdom
The word "outpost" definitely works for Northeast Kingdom. Located on the corner of Nowhere & Nothing in Bushwick, this English Gastropub/downstairs bar is clearly a godsend to residents. Locals proliferate while munching an eclectic menu of pheasant (pictured), rabbit, deer bangers (a.k.a. venison sausage), orecchiette, branzini, meatloaf burgers, and pork scrapple. Downstairs, a local jazz trio plays is a warm, fabulously designed downstairs space. Essentially, just another uber-cool restaurant in an unlikely neighborhood in the greatest city in the world. Rock on.

St Barbara’s Roman Catholic Church
Look up anywhere in Bushwick and you’ll probably see the tall towers of St. Barbara’s, a little piece of Europe smack dab in a gritty part of Brooklyn. We may or may not have built this city on rock and roll, but St. Barb’s was definitely built on beer. Bushwick was once home to many a thriving brewery, but those days are long gone unfortunately. But back in the day it was beer megabucks that financed the church’s construction in 1910. Apparently named for the daughter of the largest contributor, it’s beautifully ornate inside and out, well worth a peek if you’re in the neighborhood.
