Jeff & Maria's 10 Year Anniversary Wedding
Things To Do
Prospect Park/the Boathouse (our venue)
YOU ARE HERE! We wanted to place our venue as a reference point to our other recommendations. Also, Prospect Park has many other parts to explore, worth going back for a second visit if you have the time!
Brooklyn Botanic Garden
We've celebrated our anniversary here before! It's a gorgeous botanic garden, and one of the best sights to see in Brooklyn. And now it's right in our neighborhood!
Brooklyn Museum
One of our favorite art museums in the city! It's beautiful on the inside and out. Also, fun fact, the Brooklyn Museum is our early voting poll site, so we've voted here before (hence the election day selfie.)
Greenlight Bookstore
Our neighborhood bookstore is the best, highly recommend you check it out. The workers recently unionized with the union Maria works for, RWDSU.
Evil Twin Brewing NYC - DUMBO
One of Jeff's favorite breweries in the city has a DUMBO location not too far from the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge! The only thing missing from the original location in Queens is Marlon, the brewery cat.
New York Transit Museum
One of the more under-appreciated of the Brooklyn museums, but a true treasure! It's only a five minute walk from the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge. There are tons of old subway cars to explore, plus exhibits all about the immigrant workers who built the subway system millions of New Yorkers rely on every day. Shout out TWU Local 100, the transit workers' union in NYC!
Bonafini
Our favorite local Italian spot for dinner while you're in town! The food is so good.
BierWax
One of Jeff's favorite spots to grab a beer with a friend, BierWax is New York City’s premier vinyl record craft beer bar.
