Things To Do
New York Transit Museum
The Transit Museum is located in a decommissioned subway station at 99 Schermerhorn Street Brooklyn, NY 11201, and accessible by over 20 bus and subway lines. It rocks! A limited number of tickets are available for purchase on site, and advance reservations are strongly encouraged.
Sottocasa
Our favorite Neapolitan pizza place. It even has gluten-free and vegan pizza.
Masstransiscope
In 1980, experimental filmmaker Bill Brand created the Masstransiscope, a modern interpretation of the popular Victorian optical toy, the zoetrope. To see it hop on a Manhattan-bound B or Q train at the Dekalb Avenue stop (corner of Dekalb Avenue and Flatbush Avenue Extension) and look out any window on the right side of the train.
Court Street Bagels
The best bagels in town! Cash only, of course.
Hike the Brooklyn Bridge
If you remembered to pack your wool long underwear, you're prepared to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, grab some Dim Sum in Chinatown and take the F train home.
Devoción
Columbian coffee, guava croissants and tropical plants. Often packed with people.
Café Kitsuné Boerum Hill
Sure, the price of a cappuccino will make your eyes pop, but it's cozy and spacious inside.
