About 20 min from the house by car, but worth the travel if you're looking for a cool vibe and great, healthy food. They have good drinks, too, and there's typically a DJ playing a greta mixture of mix.

Essentials

The closest grocery store, though not the best selection. Good if you just want to get something simple, but check the times because they tend to close 30 minutes before they're supposed to.

Sightseeing

Stuyvesant & Lexington Aves - If you haven't seen Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" you're severely missing out on movie magic. Stop by the corner where this entire movie was filmed, where Spike holds his summer block party, and where the street signed was renamed in honor of this iconic film.

Shopping

This street has cool finds in clothes, jewelry, home furnishings, and food. On a nice day I like to walk from Lexington to Hancock straight down Tompkins Ave. In the summer on Sundays (sometimes Saturdays) they close this off for a street marketplace featuring all the local businesses.
