Sightseeing
The Brooklyn Bridge connects two great New York City boroughs: Manhattan and Brooklyn. You can walk it, drive it, bike it, or just admire it. The Brooklyn Bridge is a must-visit when traveling to Brooklyn. In fact, it's not just an enjoyable experience for tourists, many born-and-bred New Yorkers find themselves still charmed by the bridge. There's a dedicated pedestrian walkway on the Brooklyn Bridge, above the roaring car traffic, so it's a wonderful stroll.

If you love steak, you should not miss out on Peter Lugar's. This iconic steak house is worth visiting. Although it is a bit noisy, pricey and quite busy, this is the place to splurge on an excellent meal. If you don't like waiting long (like me), I would try to get an early dinner reservation, around 4pm.

Highly recommended. Smorgasburg is open every Saturday on the Williamsburg waterfront at East River State Park (Kent Ave and North 7th St). Hours are from 11am - 6pm, April through November. Great city view, many different food vendors, famous Red Hook lobster rolls, places to sit and relax. It is a favorite food market for locals and tourists.

Family owned local pizzeria/restaurant; they have been around for over 30 years. Great for pizza or sit down dinner with family and friends. If you like spicey food, try the seafood risotta and seafood salad, but everything is good here, you can't go wrong with anything you pick.
