Giovanni’s

This Green Point delicatessen has a bar for snacks and outstanding coffee, made by a famously surly barista. It’s a hangout for the beautiful and trendy, as well as locals who come by every morning to meet friends. There is wonderful prepared food in the deli if you are packing for a picnic or hosting a drinks party, and the friendly owners, Giovanni and his brother, will help prepare it if you phone in advance. There is also a wide choice of bread, cheeses, wine and Champagne, and it might be the only place in town that sells truffles (on occasion).
