AL DI LÀ
EAST RIVER FERRY
COBBLE HILL PARK
Italian
Boat / Ferry
Playground
BAGEL HOLE Bagels
Believe the hype -- this acclaimed Italian restaurant really is that good.
Did you know there's a ferry that can whisk you from Greenpoint to Dumbo for a mere 4 bucks? (It's a boatload prettier than taking the subway.)
A little slice of Europe in the heart of Brooklyn - the perfect spot to take a break from exploring and sip an iced coffee from the adjacent Ted & Honey cafe.
No trip to Brooklyn is complete without a Brooklyn bagel and Bagel Hole's are the absolute best.

TOBY'S PUBLIC HOUSE Pizza
Brownstone Brooklyn's version of a Midtown souvenir shop.
Beautiful city views, cool river breezes and a perfectly shaken cocktail in hand. Go at an awkward time of day (2-5) to avoid a wait time at the door.
The best thin crust pizza on this side of the Atlantic.

You haven't lived until you've tasted David Talde's caramelized take on lobster tail. Do not miss this dish, we repeat DO NOT MISS THIS DISH.

Sheep meadow, shmeep meadow -- BK's got it's own sprawling expanse of green lawn. Pack a picnic and a frisbee!
The perfect spot for al-fresco bites (the moulles et frites are some of the best in the borough).
Close-up, unobstructed views of lower Manhattan and the East River (the beautiful restored Victorian carousel doesn't hurt either).
