If I’m writing for hours at a time, there’s a good chance I’ll be hungry. So when I’m in need of a quality reading-writing-eating-talking “sesh”, I hit up my local favorite cafe and restaurant, Parlay in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park.

Parlay is a quaint, hip, and beautifully-lit space with good beats and even better eats. Foodies can enjoy good coffee, curry, and conversation while bobbing their heads to the Jackson 5, Prince, and Boyz II Men.

Check the out on Instagram @parkaybk and on Facebook. 4024 8th Ave. Brooklyn, New York.
