SDS’s Top 3 Spots To Take The Crew 1

GREENPOINT BEER & ALE CO.

What better way to experience beer than to drink & learn at the same time? Head down to Brooklyn and check out the Greenpoint Beer and Ale Factory! You can get a tour of the brewery for around $20/ person (includes 3 tasters) that can be booked for Sundays between 12-2 PM. For lunch, Jungle Café (@junglecafe_nyc) is an amazing kosher and vegan restaurant just a 15 minute walk away. The best part is that you can take a Via rideshare from Manhattan to Greenpoint for just $5 a person!

GOVERNORS ISLAND’S GLAMPING SITE

Want to experience what Fyre Festival was supposed to be like, minus the music & fraud? All it takes is an 8-minute ferry ride to Governors Island’s Glamping Site. Governors Island was one of our most popular suggestions this summer but we heard such great things about this glamping site that it needed its own mention. Like a hotel, there are different types of rooms with different price points and amenities ranging from their Journey Tent (most basic) to the Summit Tent (higher end with bathroom in tent) and even the Outlook Shelter (super luxe tent). Prices start around $200 a night but fluctuate based on type of room and day of the week. Included with your reservation are games, movie nights, campfires (BYO kosher marshmallows), morning yoga, a bar and more. While this admittedly may not be ideal for a shidduch date, it makes a great anniversary, staycation or family activity. Just remember to pack a sweater!

RAAKA CHOCOLATE FACTORY

We’re in love with the cocoa! Check out this awesome chevra activity at the Raaka Chocolate factory in Brooklyn. You can book a factory tour & tasting ($15/person on Sundays at noon) or a 2-hour chocolate making class taking you through the chocolate making process while tasting the sweets you made ($75/person on Sundays at 2pm & 5pm). Call ahead before booking and don’t forget to bring a hat (needed for both options). All of the chocolate is soy free, nut free, vegan, gluten free, kosher and organic.
