Hangout · Fort Greene · Chill
A laid-back Fort Greene hang that moves from vintage shopping to a cozy pasta dinner to inventive cocktails — no agenda, just good vibes and great company.
Fort Greene · Furniture store · Boutique
Kick things off at Su'juk Vintage, a Fort Greene gem that's part vintage clothing shop, part curated home goods treasure hunt. The mix of furniture, fashion, and found objects makes for genuinely fun group browsing — someone will always find something ridiculous to try on. It's the kind of place where you walk in for five minutes and leave an hour later.
~5 min walk (0.3 mi). From Su'juk Vintage to Forma Pasta, you'll drift through the heart of Fort Greene — walk down DeKalb Ave and enjoy the brownstone-lined blocks. Keep an eye out for the Fort Greene Park entrance if anyone wants a quick fresh-air detour before dinner.

Fort Greene · $$ · Italian restaurant · Pasta shop
Head to Forma Pasta Factory for freshly made noodles in a cozy, unfussy space with an outdoor area that's perfect for groups who want to linger. The pasta is made in-house and it shows — order whatever seasonal shape is on the menu and split a few plates. It's the sweet spot between 'we're being adults' and 'nobody had to dress up.'
~1 min walk (0.0 mi). Forma Pasta sits near Greene Ave, and Endswell is on Fulton St — a short, easy walk that takes you through one of the livelier stretches of the neighborhood. Good time to decide on a second round before you even arrive.

Fort Greene · $$ · Cocktail bar · Bar
End the night at Endswell, a chic bistro-bar on Fulton Street where the cocktails are inventive without being precious about it. The French-inspired small plates are great for snacking if anyone's still hungry, and the relaxed, stylish atmosphere is exactly right for a group that wants to keep the conversation going over a few rounds. Try whatever the seasonal house cocktail is — the bar team clearly has range.
