Great gallery space in Brooklyn/Bushwick with oftentimes pop-up-exhibitions like the picture above during the opening of @preludeprojects

For all book aficionados who dream of finding First editions and Rare books.

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.

Always amazing installations - great bookstore 

This botanical garden is massive. If you like to be surrounded by foliage, bring a picnic on a nice day.
