Prospect Park is a great place to have a water balloon fight, a picnic, a jog, and play with other people's dogs.

Hands down the best wood fire pizza I've had in Brooklyn. Great for a date or if you're feeling fancy schmancy. (Also, don't sleep on the caesar salad here.)

Excellent Viet/New American fusion with a lovely outdoor space.

Printed Matter—organizer of the NY and LA Art Book Fairs—is a non-profit supporting the work of artists and independent publishers through the circulation of their books. At their store in Chelsea, you can shop an insanely diverse selection of artists’ books, zines, posters, and more. They’re also always hosting awesome in-store exhibitions and events, from book launches and talks to lectures and performances.

What's not to like with a place that has a Sandwich named after Jonah Hill and hand-drawn signs in the window?
