The Other Side of Washington Avenue - Day 1
Ever since we began driving frequently between Williamsburg and Clinton Hill in search of our brownstone, we’ve been admiring this block of Washington Avenue.

Ever since we began driving frequently between Williamsburg and Clinton Hill in search of our brownstone, we’ve been admiring this block of Washington Avenue.

Mojito’s tostones are truly delicious. And yeah, the sailors’ club, i.e., Navy Yard Bar, is a strip club. It’s an intense experience. Their security cameras face the street, which is novel.
Don’t forget ‘Mojito’s’ Cuban restaurant is on that block. They live up to their namesake and make a mean one.
Well it has Mojtos(very nice and quite suprising when you go first time) and pet spa.
no subway nearby though. more like billyburg before places like Galapagos.
Didn’t even know the sailor’s bar was still open. Great stuff.
that’s right.
We walk in not knowing that and it was “interestingâ€
I love this stretch of Washington it reminds me Williamsburg back in the days when only Galapagos was there.
Apparently this area before become navy yard it was one of the biggest vegetables market. And there was elevated train on Myrtle.ave
is the sailor’s lounge the strip club??
don’t know if there’s a store but there is a united talmud somethingorother…
Really? Where? Don’t know how we missed that one!
