Each Bond Collective location is set in a dynamic neighborhood with a vibrant identity of its own. The Bond Collective Neighborhood Guide blog series will feature some of the best a neighborhood attractions and activities it has to offer. At Bond Collective, we work to ensure our members feel a sense of community both inside our workspaces as well as the neighborhoods we reside in. Not only do we partner with restaurants in the area, but we also encourage a healthy work-life balance by offering free classes, discounts and ongoing promotions with workout studios and gyms in the area.
1 – Pig Beach
All we have to say: BBQ. Pig Beach is the perfect spot to enjoy dinner or a happy hour outside. They have amazing beer, wings, ribs, and more. As if you already didn’t have enough incentive to go, they are currently expanding their indoor space as well!

2. Lavander Lake
The perfect happy hour spot all year round (also a Bond Collective staff favorite). In the Summer enjoy a specialty cocktail in their beautiful outdoor space and in the Winter snuggle up to their cozy bar! Pro tip: go for the brussel sprouts.

3. Wilma Jean
Wilma Jean has some of the best southern food we’ve encountered in New York City. The fried chicken is dream worthy, as is the pimento cheese. If you are on a health kick, they have amazing salad bowls that are so delicious you will almost not regret skipping the fried chicken. Almost.

4. Hey Hey Canteen
Hey Hey Canteen specializes in Asian comfort food that will not disappoint. Any place that has eggplant fries and dumplings is a win in our book. Hey Hey Canteen also offers catering and is a partner of Bond Collective, so members get a discount!

6. Ample Hills
ICE CREAM. Ample Hills describes their Gowanus location as a “two story ice cream paradise”. We love their classic flavors like: The Munchies: pretzel-infused ice cream with clusters of Ritz crackers, potato chips, pretzels and mini M&Ms and Ooey Gooey Butter Cake: the creamiest vanilla ice cream with hunks of St. Louis-style Ooey Gooey Butter Cake. Count us in.
