City of Gods Festival

Before

short ride recommended · 7 min - Gowanus

A bakery at the front and a restaurant behind it, on the stretch of Third Avenue that runs past the Bell House. The bread and pastry are baked on site with whole grain flour, and the same counter sells a croissant in the morning and a plate of pasta at night. It opened in 2012 and has kept the same two functions since.

After

Long walk · 0.5 mi · 10 min walk; 2 min ride - Sunset Park

Twenty-six lanes under a low ceiling on 37th Street, family run, with a bar at the end where the bartender has worked for decades and will talk to you about the neighborhood. League nights fill the place and the rest of the time you can walk in and take a lane. Arcade cabinets along the wall, cheap pitchers, no attempt at a concept.
