Great shop for creative people seeking inspiration. Small indie arty book shop selling used and rare books & records. Sometimes there's art exhibitions in the back.

No, it's not a butcher shop. It's a destination sneaker spot with the best selection of Vans!

The NY Botanical Garden is worth of a visit, so beautiful!

Interference Archive is a volunteer-run library, gallery, and archive of historical materials related to social and political activism and movements.

Going for a stroll on Atlantic Beach is a fall Sunday must. I rarely go to the New York beaches in summer because of the crowds, but standing on an empty, windy beach is a total mind soother. Make sure to take a peek at the Miami-colored Catalina Beach Club. Beaches close mid-September.
