The Most Romantic Bar Crawl in Brooklyn
Hillside
70 Hudson Avenue
The eerily quiet yet nonthreatening Vinegar Hill is a peculiar neighborhood: it’s small, frequently dead ends into water or Navy Yard, and has few mass-transit options or reasons to visit. Most people who trek over do so to visit Vinegar Hill House, a destination Brooklyn restaurant, but you could also just visit the neighboring wine bar, often used as a de facto waiting room for the hotspot next door but also a destination in itself for its extensive wine list. Its windows look out on a stretch of Hudson Avenue that’s easily the most romantic street in Brooklyn: it looks untouched by the last several decades, like the Main Street of a New England town ca. 1953, all trees and cute storefronts, which were long ago converted into private residences. Marvel at their quaint charm and contemplate your own possible future on a charming residential street as you sip on a glass of something exceptional.
