An Evening with David Sedaris

Before

Long walk · 0.6 mi · 13 min walk; 2 min ride - Flatbush

A small cafe on Cortelyou Road that opens at seven every morning and stays on until eight at night, which is unusual this far down Flatbush. Espresso and drip come from the counter. Pastries are made on site. Order eggs if you want a plate rather than a cup. Tables fill on weekend mornings and empty out by the middle of the afternoon.

After

short ride recommended · 3 min - Flatbush

A florist at the front of the storefront and a bar behind it, on the Cortelyou Road strip west of Kings Theatre. The back garden is the reason to come and it gets enclosed and heated once it turns cold, so it works in January as well as July. Seventy-odd whiskeys on the shelf, craft beer on tap, and bar staff who do not make a performance of either.
