Good places to live in Brooklyn based on food/bevs?

I'm 26 and single and live in Bay Ridge....Food has many different options and it is a nice young AFFORDABLE neighborhood. Commute is not terrible it takes me about 45 minutes to an hour to get to work in midtown. Williamsburg is very hippyish alothough the food is fantastic. Bay Ridge is fantastic in my opinion for options and price both food wise and living wise.
