1. L&B Spumoni Gardens
It's an obvious choice, but that's why it's on here. I’m sure that you’ve all heard about the pizza from here, but there’s more! At the middle window, be sure to pick up an ice or ice cream. My favorites: orange swirl ice cream, chocolate and lemon ice together in one cup (trust me) and a Spumoni ice.
Located at: 2725 86th St, Brooklyn, NY 11223
2. Panino Rustico
Panini’s, crepes and more … Oh my! Sit inside or outside and experience Brooklyn while chowing down on an everything panini with prosciutto, goat cheese, arugula and fig glaze. Secret: That’s my favorite, you should get it too and that's what is in the picture below. When you’re done with your lunch or dinner, get a Nutella-filled crepe and espresso to end your night.
Located at: 8222 17th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11214
3. Ample Hills Creamery
Rooftop seating with a city view and all the ice cream flavors you could imagine. Nothing says summer more than that does. Whether you want the classic vanilla or a wacky flavor such as The Munchies (pretzel-infused ice cream with clusters of Ritz crackers, potato chips, pretzels and mini M&Ms) you won’t be disappointed.
Located at: 305 Nevins St, Brooklyn, NY 11215

4. Vegas Diner
Stumble in here after a night out in Bay Ridge. If you’re looking for diner food to satisfy your late night cravings, then this is for you. Get pancakes at 3 p.m. and chicken fingers and 4 a.m. No one’s going to judge you because they’re all in there for the same reason that you are.
Located at: 1619 86th St, Brooklyn, NY 11214
5. Sundaes by the Park
It’s Marine Park’s ice cream shop and it’s where you want to go. If you ever find yourself strolling through the park, Sundaes by the Park is located just a few blocks over. Cool off with a chocolate shake, vanilla soft serve or some frozen yogurt. It’s summer: you eat as much ice cream as you want to eat.
Located at: 3512 Avenue S, Brooklyn, NY 11234
