There is never a bad time to pig out on some good southern comfort food – it’s probably the best way to deal with a stressful week. While the whole menu at Peaches is extremely appetizing, you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to eat some shrimp and grits (don’t forget the collard greens and cornbread on the side!)

Sightseeing
Grand Army Plaza, the oval at the main entrance of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, was meant to provide a wide and picturesque approach to the park, which park designer Calvert Vaux (1824–1895) considered a vital design element. The Plaza was one of the first features of Prospect Park to be built and marks the beginning of the Eastern Parkway (1866), the world’s first parkway, also designed by Vaux and his partner Frederick Law Olmsted (1822–1903). The parkway’s intended purpose was to connect the City’s parks with ornamental roads free of commercial traffic.
