Quiet, almost-suburban Carroll Gardens is like sipping a cocktail in a bubble bath, but in neighborhood form. There are families everywhere, people get really into decorating for the holidays, and you can spend many relaxing hours window-shopping for brownstones without ever getting bored.
Heck, maybe you’ve done more than window-shop, maybe you live here. If so, we salute you: this is a great neighborhood with great food, including some of NYC’s best pizza. Here’s where you should eat in the area.
