Great pizza and definitely get the chocolate salami (it’s not a salami, it’s cookies mashed into a loaf, rolled in chocolate, and sliced up with berries)

Take the L train to Jefferson Street for one of Brooklyn’s most incredible street art displays. The vivid stretch—which snakes up Troutman Street and bends into Saint Nicholas Avenue—was founded by Bushwick native Joseph Ficalora, who aimed to transform the grimy, crime-ridden neighborhood he grew up in into a vibrant showcase. Ficalora isn’t an artist but a curator who has worked tirelessly to secure all the necessary permits for hundreds of artists—including Parisian phenom Blek le Rat, often regarded as the father of stencil graffiti—to legally display their work. From Yok & Sheryo’s wicked motorcycle spread to Beau Stanton’s awesome “Kraken,” the compendium of scapes is a sight for sore eyes.
