Brooklyn Surf Bar
Sand on the floor, boards on the wall, and fishnets on the ceiling. It’s Williamsburg, what do you expect? But really, seasoned surfer Maya Pizzati managed to turn a rundown garage into a pre-hipster local favorite over 10 years ago, and despite, you know, gentrification, this place ain’t going nowhere. Clam chowder and tiki drinks abound, but the authenticity overrides any sense of kitsch.
