Cobble Hill & Boerum Hill

This semi-suburban oasis is popular with young families and filled with mom-and-pop shops: a “more grown-up” part of the Brooklyn borough. That’s not to say it has no edge; amongst the cheesemongers and competing Italian bakeries are plenty of stylish shops, trendy bars, and restaurants lauded by true foodies. Well-maintained brownstones and carriage houses date back to the 1800’s and offer an instant time warp into tree-lined, classic New York.

This charming neighborhood spot serves Northern Italian cuisine in a cozy corner restaurant. The vibe is warm and relaxed, inviting locals with their friendly air and made-in-the-basement homemade pasta. You really can’t beat homemade pasta. The drinks are also notable; unlike many Italian restaurants, Rucola doesn't shy away from a full bar. Try their New Rider cocktail made with rye whiskey, maraschino, ginger, sage, and lemon before you switch to a bottle of Northern Italian wine.
