Things To Do

Liz's Favorite Tour:
Take the R train to 45th Street, and stop at Tacos El Bronco on 44th and 4th Ave. Then, walk up the hill and visit Sunset Park, the second highest spot in Brooklyn, with amazing views of the NYC skyline. From there, walk to 50th St. and board the B63 Bus (it's the only bus on 50th Street) and watch the signs change from English and Spanish to Chinese to Yiddish/Hebrew. Get off the train at the Avenue I (under an eleveated train) and take F train towards Manhattan. Get off at York Street and make your way to Brooklyn Bridge Park - Maybe stopping at Patsy's or Grimaldi's for pizza!
