Moving to Clinton Hill? Here’s a list of
Our Favorite Clinton Hill Attractions,
Hot Spots, and Restaurants
- Brooklyn Hero Shop (270 Vanderbilt Ave): One of the best Italian sandwich shops in Brooklyn, with all the usual suspects: roasted turkey heroes, classic tuna melts, and fried chicken sandwiches.
- Fabulous Fifth Avenue Street Fair: Held in nearby Park Slope, this bustling street fair is a must-visit. With live music and street vendors, it’s set along what Time Out New York calls one of the “the world’s coolest streets.”
- Pratt Sculpture Garden (Pratt Institute): Spread across 25 acres of landscaped grounds, this garden is surrounded by historic buildings and features over 70 sculptures from renowned and emerging artists.
- C’Mon Everybody (325 Franklin Ave): A lively LGBTQ+ watering hole and live music venue that, as the name suggests, is inclusive and welcoming.
- Aita (132 Greene Ave): Named one of the “Best Aperitivo Bars in NYC” by New York Magazine, Aita brings a slice of Italy to Clinton Hill. Locals love the grilled octopus and oxtail ravioli, proving you don’t need to trek to Manhattan for a fantastic dining experience.
- Fulton Grand Bar (1011 Fulton St): A classic corner pub with dim lighting, rock on the jukebox, and an eclectic mix of friends and strangers.
- Miss Ada (184 Dekalb Ave): This Goop-approved Mediterranean eatery captures the essence of summer. Perfect for sharing plates, so you can sample a little bit of everything. In true Brooklyn style, natural wines are available, too.
- The Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club (514 Union St): Located on the edge of Clinton Hill, these shuffleboard courts are the ultimate big-group activity.
- Body by Brooklyn (275 Park Ave): There’s no shortage of wellness experiences in NYC – from Japanese Shiatsu massage to Roman bathhouses – but there’s nothing like your local day spa. With saunas, jacuzzis, a cold plunge, massages, and facials, Body by Brooklyn has everything you need.
- Afropunk Music Festival: An annual arts festival featuring music, film, fashion, and art, headlined by the likes of neo-soul legend Erykah Badu. Over the years, Afropunk has grown to become a conduit for Black activism and community action.
- Place des Fêtes (212 Greene Ave): A trendy neighborhood wine bar with delicious small bites and natural wines, brought to you by the Michelin-starred Oxalis team.
- Commune in Clinton Hill (69 Lexington Ave): A coffee cart, wine bar, garden, and collaborative workspace all rolled into one. The decor and ambiance, especially the outdoor garden, make it a productive spot for hosting networking events or 1:1 catchups.
