Pratt has an amazing sculpture park open for everyone to see. 

Apropos mural on an iconic street

where I walk with my dog near my apartment, is also the remains of what was Fort Putnam in the late 1700’s and later Fort Washington near the Navy Yard. Not the largest park but a regular part of my routine and big enough to feel like you’re still out of the city when you’re in the middle of it.

This burlesque club contains a stripper pole, but is hardly worth it unless you know someone who will hook up drinks.

An hour away from NYC, there lies a summer camp on a pristine lake which was abandoned 15 years ago. I cant tell you where this is, but some research can lead you to the right place.
