St. Anselm

The place to go to for great southern cuisine. If you want to go for brunch, I recommend you go 5-10 minutes before they open – if not, there will most likely be a long wait.

A Brooklyn hallmark when it comes to pizza! If you like cheese, get the stracciatella as an appetizer. Beware of the wait that can be pretty long, especially weekend nights.

This is where I do my laundry. It's clean and there are lots of machines. You need to get a laundry card and then add money on it. Or, if you don't want to waste any time, they also do wash and fold.
