Everything Else
The Brooklyn Heights promenade is one of my favorite places in all of NY, and there are many beautiful, cobble stone streets and small shops throughout Brooklyn Heights. It's like a mini-Paris in NY :)

DUMBO is a different vibe altogether- still fancy, but more urban/artistic and looks like it could be straight out of some cavernous mid-western city- huge converted warehouses, small art galleries, little cafes, bars, and a few taco shops. It's really growing but still a bit of a hidden gem in NY.

My favorite! Their beef & chicken is organic, grass-fed, antibiotic-free meat. They also have falafel, schwarma, hummus, babaganoush, etc. It's _VERY_ casual (you order at the counter & sit upstairs), but by far the best quality burger I’ve had (compared to ones 2-3x the price!) and cheap! Just know it is _not_ fancy :)
