Jackie’s 5th Amendment
Ok, ok. Not everything can be an endless stream of historical sites, places it takes an hour to get to on the subway, mild seafaring, and so much food. You maybe need a stiff drink by now. And there are more than enough places to get an artful, fancy cocktail if that’s your… fancy. But if what you really need is a beer-and-a-shot combo and a respite from all this culture in which you’ve been stewing, the best place by far is Jackie’s, a beloved Park Slope holdout that most recently petitioned the White House for secession from the neighborhood. Just please, don’t do anything to piss off the bartenders.
