Restaurants & Bars

These are some places nearby that we really love. It's very possible to spend your trip just eating in Brooklyn!
Venezuelan bar with fantastic arepas, empanadas, and very cold beer! Try the Mariscada (seafood soup) or tostones. Not too crowded and they're always showing the soccer game!

There's the pizza side, the bakery side, and the tapas side. It's all really great, and a nice walk if the weather is cooperating.

Coffee Shops

Best places to "fuel up".
Great coffee, every kind of milk you can imagine (many made in house), and killer pastry and breakfast options. Lots of delicious vegan options too. The quintessential instagram-ready coffee shop.

It's right around the corner, so it wins points for proximity. Great croissants, and you can usually snag a table if you want to stay for a while.

Prospect Park is a 526 acre public park in the heart of Brooklyn. In fact, it is to Brooklyn what Central Park is to Manhattan, and was designed by the same architects in 1867. Pass through Grand Army Plaza at one end and see the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and Brooklyn Museum at the other.

It's a *little* closer than the Met! World class exhibits like Basquiat, Kahlo, O' Keefe housed in a gorgeous building. At the edge of the Botanic Gardens - easy to make a day visiting both!

It's a little jaunt, but the park is HUGE, offers great views of the Manhattan skyline, and is at the steps of DUMBO (fun to explore) and the Brooklyn Bridge. There are basketball courts, bike paths, places to eat, and grass to sit on! You can hop one the ferries headed to Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Manhattan, or the Rockaways. Or join the throngs of pedestrians/ bikers headed over the Brooklyn Bridge.
