Musée des sciences · Upper West Side · 1397 conseils et avis
Brandon F.: You’ll spend all day here. Bringing young humans here will spare a lot of the headache for you if you just take them to the 4th floor to see the dinos.
Lieu servant des desserts · Boerum Hill · 134 conseils et avis
Brandon F.: You can’t go wrong with the ice cream sammich — peanut butter cookie with Sumatra coffee ice cream would be my recommendation. It’s essentially an edible orgasm. Excellent service, too.

Restaurant français · Boerum Hill · 118 conseils et avis
Brandon F.: I worked for the Ritz Carlton for ten years and I can attest to the level of professional service this place provides. The food is also noteworthy. Highly recommend the crème brûlée French toast.
Brandon F.: Know that you’re not just walking in to just any doughnut shop, but one that pays homage to J Dilla — one of the music industry's most influential hip-hop artists who passed away in ‘06. Family owned.

Gastro-pub · Cobble Hill · 192 conseils et avis
Brandon F.: Great decor reminiscent of older times. Their grilled cheese sandwich is its simplest dish, but very good nonetheless. I also really enjoyed their mill cake — cast ironed with an egg on top.

Magasin d'accessoires de mode · SoHo · 22 conseils et avis

Restaurant mexicain · Downtown Burlingame · 27 conseils et avis
Brandon F.: The menu may not look like much, but the ladies behind the glass make art happen where it tastes as good as it looks. Their homemade juices are also awesome. I recommend the cantaloupe.

Musée d'histoire · Central Business District · 257 conseils et avis

Brandon F.: I was born in a barn and had ever had rolled ice cream before. Madre de Dios this stuff is good. Friendly staff too. I recommend the Key Lime Pie.
