The 2026 Brooklyn Folk Festival

Before

short ride recommended · 3 min - Boerum Hill

A Vietnamese sandwich and pho counter on Smith Street, moved up from its original Bergen Street shop, with banh mi built on a crisp roll and bubble tea in a case behind the register. You order at the counter and there are a dozen seats if you want them. A sandwich is under ten dollars and it comes out in about four minutes.

After

Long walk · 0.8 mi · 15 min walk; 2 min ride - Boerum Hill

Twenty rotating taps on lower Smith Street, open since 2007, with pinball in the back corner and a chalkboard that changes weekly. There is no kitchen, the dog next to you belongs to someone at the bar, and the staff will pour you a taste before you commit. It closes at 4am every night of the week.
