Things To Do
Henry Public
One of our favorite spots - we've had many fun date nights here. Great spot for a drink or Saturday brunch!
Colonie
A+ Saturday brunch spot. Get the mushroom pate and Turkish eggs!
French Louie
This is where we had lunch after our courthouse marriage ceremony. Classic French brunch spot.
Defonte's Sandwich Shop
Iconic Italian sandwich counter dating back to the 1920s! Off the beaten path but so worth it. Opens at 6am!
New York Transit Museum
Cool museum dedicated to the NY subway. Great for kids!
Brooklyn Museum
For anyone who is craving a little culture, the Brooklyn Museum is definitely worth a visit.
Jane's Carousel
Classic carousel with iconic views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges!
Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket
The best and biggest farmers market in Brooklyn next to the beautiful Grand Army Plaza Arch, which is looking better than ever having just been restored and cleaned. Great people watching and the perfect place to pick up a unique souvenir - we recommend a bottle of dry hard cider from NY Cider Co.
Brooklyn Heights Promenade
A gorgeous walk with perfect Manhattan and Statue of Liberty views on one side and droll-worthy Brooklyn real estate on the other side. There's also a cute playground (with bathrooms) in the middle.
DAE
Right by the wedding venue. A Korean coffee and gift shop so beautifully curated that they had to ban all photos to keep the TikTok-ers away.
Brooklyn Inn
Cozy old-school bar, perfect for a night cap.
