Reverie, the vegan restaurant Greenpoint Brooklyn guests reach by foot or by bike, sits at 135 Metropolitan Ave in Williamsburg. It’s a genuine option either way: a flat, scenic 32-minute walk along the waterfront, or a quick 10-minute ride for anyone who’d rather skip the full walk.

Two Ways to Reach Reverie From Greenpoint

Greenpoint and Williamsburg sit close enough on the map that a trip between them is realistic without a car. Reverie, the Greenpoint area’s nearest full vegan dinner option, works for both paces: a flat, scenic walk along the waterfront for anyone who wants the exercise, or a short bike ride for anyone short on time. As a result, distance isn’t really the obstacle it might first appear to be.

Why Reverie Is Worth the Trip

Chef Guy Vaknin built Reverie’s menu around composed, whole-food vegan dishes, so a trip from Greenpoint pays off with a real sit-down dinner rather than a quick bite. In fact, many guests treat the walk itself as part of the evening — a flat, waterfront route past Smorgasburg Williamsburg and McCarren Park before settling in for dinner and cocktails. Since the bike ride covers the same ground in about a third of the time, it’s an easy fallback on a night when 32 minutes feels like too much.

What’s on the Menu

Reverie’s kitchen builds shareable plates and composed mains around seasonal, plant-based ingredients — substantial enough to serve as a proper dinner after a walk or ride from Greenpoint, not just a light bite. See the full menu for the complete list of dishes and cocktails.

Since the bar pours a full cocktail program alongside dinner, a table at Reverie also works as a real destination in its own right — cocktails and shareable plates worth the trip from Greenpoint on their own.

What a Full Vegan Dinner at Reverie Includes

A trip from Greenpoint is easy to plan around the walk or ride alone, so here’s what a stop at Reverie adds once you arrive:

Common mistake: assuming a 1.4-mile trip is too far to bother with on a weeknight. Since the bike ride only takes about 10 minutes, it’s worth checking that option before ruling out a visit entirely.
