Historic Cobble Hill is more than a quaint nabe with tree-lined streets and storied brownstones. It’s also a fine-diner’s paradise and haven for all things trendy, campy and kid-friendly.
Here’s a sampling of a perfect week of specials and events in and around Cobble Hill.
Three-Course Menu at Buttermilk Channel– 524 Court Street, Carroll Gardens
One of Brooklyn’s best restaurants offers a weekly three-course meal at the unheard-of price of $38.
Choose from three appetizers, three entrees – including their fabled buttermilk fried chicken and cheddar waffles – and two indulgent desserts (pecan pie sundae, anyone?) to create one unbeatable dining experience that still leaves room in your wallet for the short cab ride home.
Karaoke at Camp– 179 Smith Street, Boerum Hill
Flashback to sleepaway camp talent shows with karaoke and s’mores at Camp.
Karaoke is every Tuesday night from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., and maybe – just maybe – you’ll get a kiss from that cutie in Cabin 4 at the end of the night!
Quench Your Thirsty Thursday at Congress Bar– 20 Court Street, Cobble Hill
Set inside a former fruit and product market and lined with hipster-appropriate touches, Congress Bar is the Cobble Hill destination for happy hour libations. Adventurous Congress cocktails include Mermaid's Tale (gin, egg white, crème de violette, lemon and Peychaud's bitters) and Mother May I (tequila, black tea syrup, peach liquor and lemon). Cheers!
Singalong with Hopalong Andrew at Cobble Hill Park– Clinton & Congress Streets, Cobble Hill
These bi-weekly park singalongs are a fun-filled events for kids and parents alike.
Join Brooklyn legend Hopalong Andrew as he leads kids in silly songs and dances every Tuesday and Friday at 11 a.m. Events are held in the chapel of First Unitarian Church during inclement weather.
Salsa at Pane e Vino–174 Smith Street, Boerum Hill
Shimmy the night away with some Cubano soul at Pane e Vino. Grupo Irek Vieja Cuba Salcera plays sultry tunes every Saturday from 9 p.m. to midnight. After you sample the elegant Italian specialties, and a glass of wine or three, we dare you not to dance.
Brunch at Café Luluc – 214 Smith Street, Boerum Hill
Dine in at this cozy bistro or sit in the backyard deck for prime people-watching. Their thick pancakes are the stuff of neighborhood lore, and perfect for soaking up the rest of Saturday night’s red wine. We told you you'd dance!
