Iconic Brooklyn

Adorable pit stop for any day; serves up hot and fresh pasta dishes in perfect portions, and also regularly has seasonal treats like pumpkins donuts, mulled wine, and delicious soft served ice cream in the summer.

Utterly unbeatable gift shop. Very well curated selection of potential gifts, including lovely home goods, puzzles, jewelry, candles, games, bar items and more. A one-stop shop that has something for everyone. They also have a great selection of wrapping paper for any occasion.

Kitchenware galore. On the pricier side but great to walk through on a rainy day.

Delectable Korean pastries, meals and bubble tea await at this charming café. Whether you’re in for a coffee (with boba!) or their succulent dumplings, this spot has an excellent ambience for working or hanging out.

My favorite local cocktail bar. Stunning menu selection with interesting and unique drinks and great atmosphere, inside and out.

Romantic Italian spot for authentic pastas and a great wine selection. Lovely outdoor seating and cozy interior.

If you’re looking for a quick, inexpensive and yummy sandwich for breakfast or lunch, look no further. This whimsical sandwich spot is filled with toys, fun candies and sodas, and it doesn’t hurt that you can get a Bacon Egg & Cheese for $3.

Lovely low-key spot serving French classics. Excellent coffee and authentic menu. If you love a quaint morning in Paris, this is the place for you.

Consistently excellent Mexican spot, big hits are the Birria de Borego and Queso Fundido. Great food and margs with a “two-steps-above casual” feel.

For a quick cocktail and a personal pizza, Ottawa has you covered.
