Tucked off an unassuming street in East Williamsburg, Win Son's exterior pays homage to New York's beloved bodegas, but the light-filled interior has a crisp, modern vibe thanks to glossy blonde wood tables, exposed brick walls and a small, polished bar that's perfect for both solo diners and couples. This bright little spot aims to showcase Taiwan's culinary landscape with a fresh perspective. Don’t miss briny clams in a thick bath of Shaoxing rice wine, bobbing with cubes of red kabocha. This may be paired with soft bao – their unique twist is as addictive as it is sloppy – and tailed by thick and chewy zha jiang mian (noodles simmered with tender lamb, chilli oil, and Sichuan peppercorn). 

A sunlit, airy gem, Kalimera sources relaxed, timeless pieces – think Italian blazers, soft cotton dresses, silk blouses, and worn-in denim, giddily plucked through on Saturdays by shoppers hungry for 90s silhouettes. Prices range from affordable staples to standout investment pieces, with a rotating rack of sale finds out front.   

Hand-crafted vegan doughnuts made with the highest quality ingredients in super creative flavours - sounds like a dream to us! Pop in for the best plant-based doughnuts in the city. 

A modern take on the classic Greek diner, Baby Blues Luncheonette brings a playful, retro vibe to East Williamsburg’s brunch scene. The menu nods to Mediterranean roots – think halloumi H.L.T.s (a play on the B.L.T.), baklava banana bread, and the Zorba Plate loaded with eggs, tzatziki, and golden Greek potatoes. The space channels peak nostalgia with baby-blue booths, checkerboard floors, and a full wall of vintage VHS tapes. Lines can sometimes form on the weekends; weekdays are more relaxed.
