Things To Do
The Frida Kahlo Exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum
This exhibit will be closing on our wedding weekend! If you're interested, you should definitely look into buying tickets in advance, to avoid it selling out.
Brooklyn Bridge Park
This park is beautiful to walk around when the weather is nice. You can see an amazing view of the Manhattan skyline, and there's great food nearby. At one end you'll find the famous pizza places, Grimaldi's and Juliana's (Juliana's is better) and the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, which has great locally made ice cream. You can also cross the Brooklyn Bridge, if you're up for a walk (Hot Tip: NYC locals stay out of the bike lane when taking their pictures!).
Alamo Drafthouse
One of our favorite places to see movies. You can order food and drinks to your seats while you watch!
Rose's
Legitimately our favorite burger in New York, and it also happens to be a 5 minute walk from our house! If you're not into burgers, everything we've had on their menu (including their cocktails) are great!
Walk in Prospect Park
This is Brooklyn's version of Central Park, by the same designer. We like it better, but we might be biased. At the entrance on Grand Army Plaza you'll see the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Arch and the central branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, which was designed to look like an open book. There's also a Farmer's Market at the entrance every Saturday until 3pm!
Museum of the Moving Image
Nearby in Queens, this museum has a permanent Jim Henson collection, several props and exhibits from movies and television, and a small arcade with free video games in the basement!
Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden
It's a giant beer garden in the middle of Astoria, Queens. I don't think we have to do much to sell it.
