Brooklyn Couples Share Their Favorite Date Spots
Alex Ross Perry, Filmmaker, and Anna Bak-Kvapil, actress
“Recently, we’ve been enjoying the newish Pickle Shack on 4th avenue in Gowanus,” says Perry. “As an inveterate sandwich devotee, and also a vegan, it can be hard for me and my egg-loving girlfriend to find an ideal lunch or brunch spot.
However the Pickle Shack caters robustly to both our needs, and excels at creative and unique sandwiches. Their homemade vegan cheese is excellent, and highlighted on the grilled cheese with homemade Branston pickle sandwich, which I can enjoy while watching her eat a very nice looking baked-egg platter. With only about five tables, it is also always very intimate.”
