Forrest Point

Forrest Point feels as casual as a backyard party—its outdoor courtyard is furnished with lawn chairs, heavy wooden tables, hanging plants and birdcage light fixtures. This oasis, in the middle of industrial Bushwick, is an all-day and late-night hangout for coffee, eclectic fare (fish tacos, browned waffle fries, quinoa salad, grilled eggplant sandwich), cocktails and rich desserts like ice cream sandwiches with sea salt caramel gelato. There’s a sheltered patio in front, so there’s no need to stay home if it rains. At brunch, the prix-fixe menu includes options like chilaquiles and smoked salmon Benedict, and comes with coffee and a drink.
