Comment of the Day
We are almost never in Bushwick, but Northeast Kingdom was our go to dining spot a number of years ago during the summer that the “Putting Lot” was in operation down the street. Play a few rounds of absurdist eco-themed mini golf, make a few seed bombs, and then an early dinner at NK — a pleasant summer sunday afternoon.
