Saraghina is dangerously versatile—stop by their pastry shop for a quick sweet bite, or round the corner for a heartier brunch. For dinner, they have a great selection of pizzas!

Parks & Nature

Take your pick: biking, boating, sunning, running, bird watching...the list is endless. Prospect is (I would argue) NYC's best park, and absolutely worth a nice long visit during your time here. Not to mention: there are free concerts and movies all summer long! Just search for "Celebrate Brooklyn" and you'll get the full list.
