New York - Brooklyn

Brooklyn is a quaint escape for anyone living in the city or just visiting - I highly recommend it as a break from Manhattan and to get some unique food, shopping and cultural experiences- and stunning views. Things slow down the perfect amount.

Restaurants: Buttermilk Channel, Wyeth Hotel, and Walter's for Brunch. Frankies Spuntino, Bricolage, Bogota Latin Bistro, River Cafe, PokPok for dinner. The Noble Experiment for cocktails and a rum tour!

The Essentials:
Smith Street & Court Street south of Borough Hall are adorable for people watching, eating and shopping. I love the French bistros and Stinky Cheese grocer for some amazing Pimento Cheese. Also anywhere in DUMBO is pretty amazing. BK celebrates Bastille Day the right way too!

Great Rum Distillery
Markets: Brooklyn Flea market is so fun and so many great finds, including furniture and my favorite photos from shehitpausestudios - all surfer pictures from around the world, beautiful. For foodies, there is also Smorgasbourg which is fun and right by the water.

Farmer's Markets Everywhere
Random & Fun: take the Ikea boat from Wall Street Pier 11 (free on weekends) to/from the Red Hook location for a beautiful boat tour and then easy bus or cab right into the Smith street area and beyond...

Must Do: Walk the Brooklyn Bridge in either direction, it's a stunning walk and view
