Rhodora - Gift Card
$250From the team behind the sustainable Brooklyn concepts Rucola, June and Purslane, Rhodora Wine Bar strives to be the first zero waste wine bar of its kind in the country.
Sustainability and respect for humans and the environment are the core tenants of the program and guide both the food and beverage choices, as well as the operations of the restaurant as a whole.
The concept's menu celebrates natural, low-intervention wine with accompanying conservas, or tinned fish, rounded out by cheese and vegetable offerings to snack on or to enjoy as a full meal. By featuring small-farm, natural winemakers, the Rhodora team partners with wine producers who share a similar respect for the land and environment, working against the often harmful impacts of large-scale wine manufacturing.

Threes Brewing - Gift Card
$50Threes Brewing is a Brooklyn-based brewery known for crafting approachable beers that balance simplicity and complexity, with a focus on lagers, hop-forward American ales and mixed culture beers. Creativity and respect for the craft of brewing are among our guiding principles. We take pride in introducing (or reintroducing) traditional styles to a new audience by applying a modern spin.
You can find our beer in our owned & operated brewpubs, in over 700 bars, restaurants and shops across New York State, as well as in 30+ states.
We opened our Gowanus flagship in 2014; a non-traditional taproom and event space that houses our Brooklyn brewhouse, tucked discreetly behind the main bar. Gowanus is the birthplace and heart of our operation, also home to a beer shop, music venue (Tiny Montgomery), The Meat Hook and Ninth Street Espresso. We've since added sister bar and event space in Greenpoint, a seasonal outpost on Governors Island in the New York Harbor, and a beer shop-meets-tasting room in Huntington, Long Island to our little local empire.

Royal Palms Gift Card
$25$50 gift card to Royal Palms shuffle board.
After a spontaneous trip in the winter of 2011 to the Mirror Lake Shuffleboard Club in St. Petersburg, Florida, owners Ashley Albert and Jonathan Schnapp set out to build a shuffleboard club in Brooklyn.
By July 2012, they'd secured the lease on a 17,000 square foot warehouse in Gowanus and set about raising money to make their vintage-Florida Shuffleboard dreams come true.
It took another year and a half of fundraising and kickstartering and designing and permitting before the doors to The Royal Palms were ready to open in the winter 2013.
Today, people from all over the world come to visit and fall in love with the game. The Royal Palms Monday and Tuesday Night Shuffleboard League is the largest in the world and Ashley and Jonathan are now internationally ranked shuffleboard players!

Van Brunt distillery tasting
$20A tour and tasting for 4 at Red Hook's Van Brunt Stillhouse. Book your tour on their website.
Van Brunt Stillhouse is a New York State Farm Distillery in the heart of Red Hook Brooklyn. While the idea of a farm distillery in a big city seems somewhat ironic, we take our state farm license class to heart and think of ourselves as an extension Thor Oeschner's organic farm near Ithaca, the primary source of our grain. We believe in the strength and value of local economies.

Baba's Pierogies gift card
$50$50 gift card to Rivendell's neighbor, Baba's Pierogies.
Starting out of their Brooklyn apartment, owners Helena and Bob took great inspiration from Helena's baba, Julia. Julia arrived to America in 1969 and brought with her recipes that have been passed down from generations. The only difference was that the ingredients on hand were a bit different than the ones she would find in her homeland of Slovakia. Thus, the "Baba's Potato" flavored pierogi was created, which incorporates American cheese with potatoes as the filling. This meddling of the old and new is the foundation of this little shop in Brooklyn. On the menu, you will find the a variety of traditional and nontraditional fillings as well as a handful of innovative dessert options. We also have vegan pierogi options. At the restaurant, we always prepare the pierogies fresh to order, never frozen, just like at baba's house. When ordering frozen pierogies, we hope you feel the same sense of comfort, love, and deliciousness as you would at Baba's Pierogies. Over the past 6 years, Baba's Pierogies has been featured on Eater, Thrilist, PureWow, NY1, News12, ABC's "The Chew" to name a few.
