This is such a throw back place. You'll feel like you have left Brooklyn and are visiting Poland. Great traditional Polish food, huge portions and affordable. There can be a line so plan ahead to get a table on a weekend.

Sightseeing
Great way to travel and get amazing views of the city! Hope on the ferry and head north to Long Island City with the iconic Pepsi Cola sign on the waterfront. Hang out in the expansive park/playgrounds all around here or stay on the ferry to get to 34th St in Manhattan. You can also take the ferry south and head to Williamsburg, Dumbo or Wall St in lower Manhattan.
