5 Drink like a local

Lovers of wine and spirits shouldn’t leave Brooklyn without browsing the shelves at Grain & Vine. This specialist shop stocks wine, whisky, cognac, tequila, sake and other spirits from all over the world, but they pride themselves on their locally produced bottles. Wines from Long Island, and gin and vodka from New York City, are well worth a swipe of your credit card. (There’s a good selection of miniatures, too, if you’re in need of a nip on your journey home.)
