Black Rabbit

If the Coen Brothers were scouting for a Prohibition-era bar in Greenpoint, they’d stop looking once they chanced upon Black Rabbit, with its pre-war light fixtures, 19th-century floorboards, and flower boxes in the windows. Booths outfitted with saloon-style swinging doors are so private that you’ll need to button-activate a light bulb to get your waiter’s attention. But that’s just the sort of detail that Ethan and Joel get off on. A garden with parasol-shaded picnic tables is open until 11 p.m.; the sumptuous interior, complete with working fireplace, suggests cinematic possibilities on a snowy evening.
