3 Enjoy plant-based plates (and all that jazz)

Bar Velo is a tiny 1930s-style bar that can be found in the corner of an eye-catching triangular building beneath the subway tracks in Williamsburg. The horseshoeshaped bar, low lighting, cosy atmosphere and live music – jazz, blues, country and ragtime – are great for refuelling after a day of sightseeing. Try the vegan small plates with a craft cocktail, or something more substantial like the black bean portobello burger with chipotle aïoli and avo on a warm pretzel bun. 394 Broadway; barvelobrooklyn.com
