Those searching for a little peace and quiet would do well to spend a few hours at this verdant oasis. The garden—which abuts two other neighborhood gems: the Brooklyn Museum and Prospect Park—was founded in 1910 and features thousands of types of flora, laid out over 52 acres.
We love eating outside, whether it’s at one of the city’s best waterfront restaurants, elevated rooftop bars or Smorgasburg the best open food market in Brooklyn! It has some of the best food in NYC all in one place. The Williamsburg Smorgasburg event takes place on Saturdays in Marsha P Johnson Park, if you want to venture further around Brooklyn you can also attend Smorgasburg on Sundays in Prospect Park too!
You can’t celebrate the great pizza in our city without acknowledging Roberta’s role in kick-starting the new Neapolitan movement. Roberta's is known for its wood-fired pizzas along with house made pastas and salumi, charcoal grilled heritage meats, and seasonal vegetables. They also have a cute outdoor patio to relax and have a cocktail in!
