"The second Mekelburg’s location in Williamsburg is similar to the Clinton Hill original - an upscale grocery store in the front with a bar in the back serving high-quality sandwiches and small plates, as well as a bunch of craft beers on tap. Except this location is right by the water at Domino Park, which makes it a perfect place to take a 30-minute break on a weekday. Get a tartine with smoked salmon or a babka muffin and stare at the East River until you figure out the reason it’s technically an estuary rather than a river." - Hannah Albertine
