Essentials
Amazing grocery store, but it's a hike. Probably the best way to get there is to take the G train to Bergen Street. In addition to amazing cheap food, they have the cheapest beer in town by far.

Fantastic New York-style pizza, and it's open late. Just order a "regular slice," which is how you order a slice of cheese pizza in NYC. Seriously, don't try to get fancy here.
