Carroll Gardens: For Good Eats & Settling Down
Carroll Gardens appeals to the young and old: The 'old' being those who have lived here their whole lives, opening popular Italian eateries and strolling the neighbourhood to keep an eye on things; the 'young' being those couples with children starting school who are drawn to the green areas, the amazing aforementioned Italian eating spots, and the friendly neighbourhood vibe. Top Tip: For good eats, keep an eye out for: Lucali (pizza), Buttermilk Channel (brunch) and Prime Meats (cocktails & well, meats). DUMBO: For the Flea Market and Brooklyn Bridge Park DUMBO (which stands for Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass) may be a loud (think trains rattling overhead) and busy through-way being on the western point of Brooklyn and so accessible to Manhattan; but it's become a cool, industrial spot for artists and their galleries, successful start-ups housed in converted warehouses and a flea market every Sunday. Nearby Brooklyn Bridge Park is unbeatable for spending the day hanging out and barbecuing. Williamsburg: To Eat & to People-Watch You can't visit Brooklyn without being drawn to its most hipster neighbourhood - a veritable hive of funky shops, cafés and bars. The music and art scene is alive and well here so strolling around brings you into contact with interesting people, amazing live music and a general cool vibe from everyone. Check out some of the amazing restaurants (Peter Luger for one) and aim to come during the week if you can as this place gets craaazzzy on the weekends. |
