Best pizza spots, Williamsburg pizza or Bleecker Street.
Grab a city bike and take a bike ride along the Brooklyn Greenway, which was inspired by Jordan not wanting to ride her bike in the street, bike from Williamsburg to red Hook, starting in Williamsburg and have brunch or a snack and end in red hook at the best Keylime pie in the city. “steve’s authentic Keylime pie.”
Best run along the W. Side Highway for the views
Fort Greene lawn for people watching
Brooklyn Museum for the best all-encompassing museum of modern and historical art.
Best doughnut in the city
-Fan fan for a specialty doughnut
-donut pub for a classic doughnut
-donut plant for cake or sourdough doughnut
Don’t go anywhere for coffee that has more than four locations. But if you have to choose la Colombe
Best ice cream Morganstern’s

when getting out of a uber or cab make sure you aren’t going to hit a cyclist
tip 20%
new yorkers will seem brash. its just rude here to take up people’s time
subway is often quicker than a cab

Grab an early morning coffee at Peckish and walk to Fort Greene Park to watch the swarms of dogs – the park is off-leash before 9AM
