Food Scene
It meets all food-type needs. It has comfort food, vegetarian, vegan-friendly, meat eaters, farm-to-table. Nice vibe there and interesting dishes. Service pace is more European. You'll be there a while, because every meal has multiple courses.

Locals know it at "Nana's" but the secondary name is Creative Cafe. Two words: Crazy Eggs! They're special. They are closed on Sundays and easy to miss, but worth it! Great coffee and baked goods too. They're located just after you make the left toward Woodstock village on the left across from the Woodstock Playhouse in the shopping center with the Tattoo studios and the interior design showplace.

Brooklyn is one of the food centers of the universe, as far as we're concerned. We look forward to visits up to our Woodstock house and fit a trip to Diego's EVERY TIME. I dream about it sometimes. It's that good. Check out the historic cemetery nearby while you're there.

They just did a renovation and updated their menu AND now have a bar! We were walking on Wall Street and looking at the menu and someone came up behind us and said, "Go in! They're fantastic!" We did and he was right. Again, Brooklyn is a center for Greek food. This place has authentic Greek food and the main ingredient is love. Second ingredient is the passion of the owner. Third ingredient is great service by the friendly staff. LOVE Opa!

It's a casual pace, because everything is made to order, so if you're pressed for time, save this for another day. Order the fresh squeezed OJ if you go and watch it being squeezed in the GIANT machine! Wow! They can accommodate larger parties, but don't go if you're in a hurry.
