Photo Ops
Photo op area. You have to take photos in front of it. It's not worth it to buy a ticket anymore because you cannot go to the top. You can only go halfway up.
Vessel
Cross the bridge from the Manhattan side. Eat street vendor food, buy souvenirs & take pictures on the bridge.
Brooklyn Bridge
Iconic
Flatiron Building
Museums
Cool History
Great for sex history (devices, international culture, political movements, etc.). Go alone or with a date. Of course there's ab adult store shop in the lobby.
Museum of Sex
Local history, with a cool food truck in the side courtyard area
Brooklyn Museum
Couple night is Tuesdays. Free admission for NYC residents. Has a sophisticated date night feel
The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Great place to go roller skating in Brooklyn (located inside Prospect Park at the lake)

Visit this enclosed observatory. One of the oldest ones in NYC.
Top of The Rock

Edge
Spa on Governors Island facing NYC
QC NY SPA
Great place to go and watch free rugby and soccer scrimmages
Athletic Fields
My Favorite Restaurants
If you sit at the bar for Ryan. He's tall and bald. Drinks will be immaculate and he's got good conversation. Octopus dish is 🔥 as well as the fried zucchini. Great for tapas or a proper meal.
Cathédrale Restaurant
A bit cliché of me to add this one since it's in the Tao group. Food is served family style. Drinks are overpriced but that's normal I'm NYV. You came for the food and the vibe anyway.
Beauty & Essex
Amazing authentic Peruvian food. Always get the causa de salmon and aji de gallina.
Pio Pio 8
Places to People Watch
NYC’s favorite last time is to gaze their surroundings and look at other people. It’s quite entertaining 😊
Great for mulling around or just people watching. The fountain and archway are the stars of the show.
Washington Square Park - NYC Parks
Take a lover, I have a picnic. Buy some things from vendors. Whatever tickles your fancy.
Brooklyn Bridge Park
My favorite place to sit on a park bench and have lunch.
City Hall Park
Dive Bars
Great dive bar in Brooklyn with nice DJs
JADE
Rooftop Bars
$2 happy hour tacos $5 margaritas on weekdays
The Ready Cantina Rooftop Lounge
Nice date night spot with conservative portioned tapas
Harriet's Rooftop
It's a bar, duh.
The Water Tower Bar
Tourist Bucket List Resturants
Best damn pastrami sandwich in America. Waiting in line and paying a pretty penny for it is definitely worth the wait.
Katz's Delicatessen Katz's Delicatessen - NYC's oldest deli
If you come to New York and don't get cheesecake here, did you really come to New York City?
