See New York from her best angle. Take a stroll, read a book, or just sit on a bench and enjoy unparalleled views of the Manhattan skyline and New York harbor.

The converted piers directly below the Heights are one of New York's best and newest parks. Bring a ball, your pickleball paddles, or just your walking shoes to enjoy this beautifully designed urban park sandwiched between the shopping/dining districts of Dumbo on the north end and Atlantic Avenue on the south (Lucy and James got engaged in the sound garden on Pier 3).

We're biased, but we think our neighborhood is just about the finest you can find for a constitutional. Enjoy looking at the grand homes (including the former residences of Truman Capote, Arthur Miller, and W. H. Auden), pop into a restaurant/bar for a bite or a drink, and take in the day like a New Yorker in "America's First Suburb."

Explore the 52 acres of plants, trees, and flowers in the heart of Brooklyn.

Check out the second largest museum in New York, which is adjacent to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. There's something for everyone here, and the Egyptian art collection is one of the best in the world!

When it comes to spending a morning or afternoon exploring, Dumbo, the Heights, and Atlantic Avenue all offer a unique collection of shops and restaurants (some of our favorites: pizza at Ignazio's or Juliana's, brunch at Clark's Diner, or a drink/dinner at Inga's Bar, Colonie, River Deli, Felice, or Chez Moi).
