hmmm, your best bet is to hit up 7th ave in Park Slope - but I am not sure where the good 'uns are.
There's a pizza spot at 7th ave/9th st.

I'm sure if you brought a road bike and had no intention of winning/placing the organizers wouldn't give you too much grief, but I doubt there are more than two people who are going to do that.
Riding with a brake? Maybe more.

If you wanna ride with a brake or with a road bike or with anything other than a brakeless fixie, work a checkpoint. Otherwise, I'll door you with someone else's car. And I don't think you want that.

if you really want to (or have to) ride braked/geared, you should show up pay the fee and wait 5 or 10 minutes after the start then go, you'll probably catch up to some of the slower (probably be around the middle by the finish line) racers and you won't miss any of the checkpoints. otherwise there will be more alleycats in new york later this year.

lets not ruin this once a year race by encouraging brakes and gears, that would defeat the whole purpose of monstertrack and it becomes just another race. I say just take the brakes off and take it easy or wait till the next race in NYC.

don't you EVER forget my underscore, mother****er. Do you know what that underscore represents? It represents YOU, lying on the ground, gasping desperately for air, having made a feeble, futile attempt to catch me. Never forget that. Don't EVER forget my underscore!
