Places in Cobble Hill

Rocketship Comics

Rocketship comics on Smith Street in Cobble Hill is probably the single most curated comic book shop in New York City. Luckily, the owners have very good taste.

There's an art gallery up front where original pages, and other types of graphic art are displayed. The titles are arranged by creator as opposed to title and some of those creators drop by for in-store events.

The JakeWalk

The JakeWalk is a Wine & Cheese Bar on Smith Street in Cobble Hill that is brought to you by the owners of Stinky Brooklyn and Smith & Vine.

According to the owners:

One of the most tragic aspects of Prohibition was known as the "Jake Walk" - a peculiar, stiff-legged gait that afflicted people who had been drinking Jamaica Ginger, and alcohol-based patent medicine that turned out to have been contaminated with a neurotoxin as a result of the efforts made by the shady characters who were marketing it to come up with a formula that would get by the Dry authorities.
