An anchor of the Greenpoint scene, Five Leaves draws a mix of neighborhood regulars to outdoor tables and the vintage-filled interior. Stop by in the morning for ricotta pancakes, brûléed grapefruit and great espresso, or at lunch for a bacon-avocado or fish sandwich with truffle fries. Cocktails seem designed for day drinking (like their Bloody Mary and coffee-coconut Tiger's Milk).
In the evening, the market-fresh menu features the likes of salmon with green tea noodles, Australian lamb loin, and crispy black rice with fried duck egg. There's a good Europe-leaning wine list, too.
