A small place on Atlantic near Bond with a brick oven by the door that turns out pita to order, which is the reason to go. Lamb and chicken off the grill, hummus and baba ghanoush, and a back garden with a few tables under a canopy. The bread arrives hot and the bill stays low, and it is open from 11am to 10pm every day of the week.

A corner bar at Hoyt and Bergen inside the Boerum Hill Historic District, with a carved mahogany back bar, a pressed tin ceiling and a pool table through the arch at the back. There is no food, no television and no music loud enough to shout over. It is cash only, which is the fastest way to tell how little has changed.
