The Best of Myrtle Avenue

With Valentines Day coming up in a couple of weeks, we put the question out to Myrtle Avenuer’s (yes, that is a new word we made up) – what are the best spots on the avenue to help celebrate Valentine’s? From a good bar to set the scene, to a great place to buy flowers for your loved one, here is a round up of the best places you picked!

Best Bar to set the vibe: Cardiff Giant

Cardiff Giant’s cozy interior make this bar a great place to set the vibe for a romantic night out. And if your date is really into craft beers and cocktails, you’ll be able to impress them with Cardiff Giant’s menu exclusively made of New York made beer, cider, and spirits. Kick off the night with one of their “Happy Meals”- a can of beer or cider, with a shot, or a nice regional red.

Best Date Night Restaurant: LaRina Pastificio & Vino

Just a few doors down from Cardiff Giant is LaRina, Fort Greene’s choice for romantic dinner a deux. LaRina will be doing a $65,  pre-fixe only dinner on Valentines that includes an appetizer, pasta dish, entree and dessert. While La Rina normally takes walk-ins only, they do open up for some reservations, so call them quick!

Best place to get a fun card: Green in BKLYN

Green in BKLYN never lets us down, particulalry with their fun and quirky card selection. The selection will have you laughing, smiling, and probably getting more than one card. Stop by the shop to pick up a card that screams, we-aren’t-in-Hallmark-territory-anymore.

Best place to get your Sweetie something sweet: Brooklyn Sweet Spot

A word of warning if you go to Brooklyn Sweet Spot: you can get into some real trouble there. Between the cookies, the bread pudding, mini pies, cupcakes and custom deserts you will have a hard time choosing the right confection for your sweetheart!

Brooklyn Sweet Spot | 366 Myrtle Ave (btwn Adelphi & Clermont)

Best place for blooms: Bella Rosa Flower Shop

Bella Rosa always has a great selection of plants or flowers to suit your green thumb, or your big red heart. They will be doing a Valentine’s special of $25 for a dozen roses. Get them quick before you have all that’s left are blue carnations.

Whatever you do for Valentines Day, we hope you feel loved and have fun out on Myrtle! ❤️️
