• A quiet place: Brooklyn Historical Society for Brooklyn history and its heavenly library–a haven for writers
• The waterfront: Brooklyn Bridge Park overlooks the East River and Manhattan, and during the summer, visitors lounge on the grass with lemonade or ice cream; there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby
• Beautiful views: The Brooklyn Heights Promenade is a tree-lined walkway with views of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and the Manhattan Skyline
• The neighbourhood tavern: Jack the Horse Tavern is an all around favourite for oysters, beverages, hearty dinners and brunches
