Freight Island

Escape to Freight Island is basically a grown-up playground for people who want dinner, drinks, and a little chaos without committing to one single “vibe.” It’s located in Downtown Brooklyn, right by the water at 90 Furman Street in Brooklyn Bridge Park, so you get that smug little promenade energy and a skyline moment before you even step inside.

​

You’re walking into a food hall style hangout with multiple counters, bars, and seating pockets, the kind of place where you can bounce from oysters to tacos to a spicy cocktail like you’re on a curated scavenger hunt. It’s loud enough to cover awkward first date pauses, cute enough for a second date, and chaotic enough to accidentally become a third.

​

Why choose Escape to Freight Island?

​

✅ Commitment-phobe friendly: You can “just grab a drink” and somehow end up doing a full tasting tour together  

​

✅ Brooklyn Bridge Park romance: Pre or post stroll by the water, flirty, cinematic, minimal effort  

​

✅ Built-in conversation starters: “Wait, should we do dumplings or burgers?” is basically foreplay if you’re fun  

​

✅ Choose-your-own-date adventure: Sit at the bar, grab a booth, roam like little food critics, it never gets stale  

​

✅ Chaotic good energy: Groups, couples, and solo cool girls all coexist, so it feels buzzy, not painfully intimate
