Local NYC Coffee Gem: Italo's Brooklyn

Recently, I partnered with @wi_card to showcase some of my favorite spots in New York, where I am both from and am a licensed sightseeing guide. One of my top picks: @italosbk. This coffee shop is right near my house, and I've gotten the opportunity to take my tour guests behind the counter to see exactly what these guys do. Their dedication to the art of coffee is amazing, and they're happy to chat with you about how to tell if espresso is high quality and how their machines work. They're also dedicated to promoting local businesses and artists through rotating events, yoga classes, art studio sessions, weekend vendors and more. What's your favorite local gem in NYC?
