4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2012

Check out the remaining kosher bakery (115 Second Avenue) and B&H dairy restaurant on 127 Second Avenue near 7th Street. Both are superb. And the people who run them are friendly and funny.

All kinds of new coffee shops, small restaurants, boutiques, and even a macaroon bakery have popped up. Was really fun to walk the streets - a rebirth of the area.
