Before

0.3 mi · 6 min walk - Navy Yard

Hervé Poussot's bakery on Water Street under the Manhattan Bridge, selling baguettes, croissants, éclairs and a case of small tarts, with coffee at the counter and a couple of seats by the window. It has been there since 2002 and the line on a weekend morning goes out the door and takes five minutes. It is shut Monday and Tuesday, which is easy to forget.

After

Long walk · 0.5 mi · 11 min walk; 2 min ride - Navy Yard

Kings County started distilling in 2010 and now works out of the old Paymaster Building inside the Brooklyn Navy Yard, with a bar in the 1896 gatehouse at the Sands Street entrance. Whiskey comes as flights or straight pours. There are cocktails, while the rest of the list stays with New York wine and beer. Bottles are for sale by the door. Production-floor tours run on select evenings and have to be booked ahead, but the bar itself is walk-in every day.
