DESTINATION

Brooklyn

Brooklyn offers its own world-class museums, parks, theaters, music venues and sightseeing. Here one can take a walk through Prospect Park, check out some culture at the Brooklyn Academy of Music performance center (phone (718) 636-4100), or take a literary tour through the brownstones of Brooklyn Heights. Days can be whiled away on Coney Island’s boardwalk and nights spent imbibing with the artists and hipsters of Williamsburg, a local neighborhood. Get out of Manhattan for a day or a week, but definitely experience Brooklyn, a place where the borough limits sign actually reads: “Leaving Brooklyn? FUHGETTABOUDIT.”

Shopping

Bedford Avenue, in the Williamsburg neighborhood, offers a variety of art galleries, trendy boutiques and eateries. It is within walking distance of the Williamsburg Bridge and is also accessible from Manhattan via the L train.
