This artist-run gallery is a hub of the Brooklyn gallery scene. You'll find Bungee, a celebrated fixture, snoozing comfortably in the office and somehow oblivious to all the surrounding chaos.

I probably frequent here twice a week, because I am obsessed with Mexican food, and I'm fortunate enough to live in close proximity to this place. Taqueria Tepango is definitely a sapphire in the rough since there are a lot of terrible/over-priced Mexican restaurants in NYC.

Empty, but not abandoned, this cavernous Brooklyn loading dock was once considered the largest individual building in the world.

Fried chicken. Biscuits. Sausage gravy. Artisanal root beer. House-made pickles.

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