If you want to get a taste of the best of Brooklyn and visit the cutest bookstores and support small shop Saturday, this is the walk for you. Follow this in order, it starts and ends around downtown Brooklyn (for the most part). It's just under 3 hours walking, but you are going to want to stop and have drinks and snacks and visit cute shops along the way. For the longest stretch between Big Reuse and powerhouse; take the bus or an uber to save 20 minutes. Or walk along and see more of Brooklyn. I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday. .
