The most populous borough of New York City, Brooklyn is home to some 2.5 million people as well as some of America’s most cherished pastimes. Not just a concrete jungle, Brooklyn includes outdoor locations like Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Brooklyn Promenade—all perfect for an early morning, mid-afternoon, or evening walk to explore the beauty of when local vegetation meets the urban metropolis. Known for its change of pace, as you leave Manhattan your stress will be drowned out by the sound of live music, the dinging of clinking bottles, and “Cheers!” If the social scene is too rowdy for you, Brooklyn offers over 30 miles of sandy shoreline that is sure to provide the more intimate setting you are looking for. With over 700 cultural and arts institutions, Brooklyn is not only a top site for entertainment, but also for learning about and exploring anything from ancient history to modern artwork. Brooklyn has plenty of people to meet, locations to visit, and food to eat, so do not hesitate to take a trip across the Brooklyn Bridge for a diverse vacation filled with pleasant surprise.
