36 hours on Brooklyn Waterfront- Jiajie Tan

Brooklyn is one of the borough of New York City. It owns a rich history and bunch of entertainments around there. It doesn’t matter which season you go, here still can offer you a perfect trip. Most of time, I would like to go in summer and fall, because these two seasons make me feel comfortable and have more entertainments.

Friday:

1, Enjoy the sunrise. 8 Am download

First,We will drive ourselves or take B6 bus and arrive at the destination called “Belt parkway”(a place which locates beside the sea and there are some stores which sell material goods).

Then,we people could according to their own habits to do something they like .For example,you could go into “BestBuy” if you have interesting in electric,also you could go to “Modells” to shop some sport goods. Kohl’s is a mall that contains a lot of living goods. We could buy a little pizza and a coffee, then sit on the bench to appreciate the sunrise while we are fishing.

2, lunch special. 12 Am

Then we will take the bus back to 86 street 18 avenue and walk down to 13 avenue. The “Outback” steak house is right there waiting for us. The “Bloomin Onion” is one of my favorite appetizers, this onion is in deep fire and its shape is like a flower when it’s in front of you. This onion costs you about $8.49, but I feel it worth anyway. If you like, you could get a cocktail, beer, milkshakes and soft drinks. The purpose we come here is for the steak. The one that I feel cheap and delicious is called “Parmesan-Herb Crusted Chicken” and it cost you only 15.99 dollars. Stay inside and enjoy the food would make you feel happy because this hot weather.

3, Go into another China Town in Brooklyn. 3pm

8 AV is another China Town in Brooklyn. Here always are crowded day or night because a bunch shops open till mid night. As we known, all things made in China are cheap, so don’t save your money for our pocket this time, just buy and buy. Also, if you are interested in cooking, here will be a treasure for you because all seafood markets and meat markets locate between 59 street and 53 street. In an addition, there have three large super market locate between 60 street and 61 street. So, how can we miss that.

4, Have fun at night, 6pm

As we see, the temperature have been down to 70 degrees, so is time to go out at night. “100 Fun” is a Karla okay where contains limited room for you to relax and it locates at 59^th street 9 avenue. For the reminder, in the night time, below 21 years old are not allowed. You could order any food and drinks, even water. If you drive, hope you do not drink any alcohol, because you will get caught, there a bunch of polices hide around. Also, be good to yourself and others.

5, Try the Food Truck. 10 pm

I know you are tired and hungry after you sang . So, we could go down to 60th street 8 avenue, there has a barbecue food truck called “369”. You won’t lose when you walk around here, because the smell you bring you to the subway stations and the food truck is next to it. You better try their barbecue whole squid, juicy and crispy. I don’t think one portion can satisfy you, and I know you will buy more than one. They also have barbecue pan cake, all kind of meat.

6, Dessert time. 11 pm

Dessert is necessary after dinner. “Kulu” dessert is a good choice to visit. I always buy a tea is mixed by red bean, yam and milk. Then, I would like to buy a crepe and it has choice for you; you could choose turkey, ham, beef or shrimp with thousand island sauce or Caesar. A warm drink would give you a good sleep.

Saturday

7, Walk through the Brooklyn Bridge 12 am

Brooklyn Bridge is a bridge which connects Brooklyn and Manhattan and it becomes the icon of the New York City. It was opened for use in May 24, 1883 till now, and the renovation on and off. Although the renovation sometimes bothers the people, but that can’t stop people visit the bridge. When you walk by the bridge, you could see the view of Brooklyn and Manhattan and you also can see the status of liberty. Breathe a fresh air and scream out loud, to be proud of a New Yorker.

8, Junior’s Restaurant. 2 pm

Take R train to DeKalb and down to Flatbush Avenue, and we will see the Junior’s restaurant in front of us. Its cheese cake is just its advertisement “fabulous”. For me, it is an icon of the restaurant. The cheese cake is a priority, you must order and try. The one I like is called Devil food cheesecake which contains a lot of chocolate. However, you better come with your friend, because they only serve the cheese cake in a large size which means it could serve 6 to 8 people, even more. Its cheese cake 29.95 dollars up to 50 dollars. For the reminder, here is not only serve cheese cake, it also offers the regular food.

9, Take a City bike. 5 pm

In downtown Brooklyn, get a city bike is more convenience that take the subway and bus. Now, it is time to appreciate the sunset and the perfect place is Brooklyn Bridge Park. We will see there have 5 piers there and the construction is still on, but it won’t bother us. In an addition, there has an ice cream factory and we could buy some for the time we enjoy the sunset. Sometimes, here will have some event, such as smorgasbord, unfortunately, it was just passed by 2 months. Also, you could go around the park and see how amazing it is. There owns a lot of facilities, you could run, watch the kids play basketball game, football game and soccer game. If you are interested in, you could be a part of them. Most of time, I would like to sit on the bench and watch the sun down to the west and feel its warmth.

10, Lay down on the lawn. 9pm

Here is such a star observation platform. When you lay down on the lawn, you will be relaxed and you could observe the stars, moon and the airplanes. Maybe, you will feel boring, but you should try and see how it is going. To be a part of nature is a good way to release.

11, Hotel time. 11pm

Marriott Hotel is located at 333 Adam Street Brooklyn and it is pretty near Brooklyn Bridge, so it is very convenience for our trip. Here has a lot of choice for you to choose you room, one king room, executive room, double room, concierge room…etc. For the dining room, we need to move to Metro Tech room because the renovation. In fact, we only care about the taste of the food after we traveled whole day. Also, it contain gym and spar, so you could sweat yourself then have a massage. I could not imagine what your facial expressions are. After we try all the facilities and entertainments, it is time to go to our super soft mattress.

36 Hours on the Brooklyn Waterfront.

1 Reply

New York City is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the world, from the famous attractions of the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and much more. With all of this come the noise of sirens car horns screaming people, the typical hustle and bustle of The Big Apple. You want to go on a vacation that is peaceful and tranquil and where you can go with that special someone, or even your family. We’ll solve it by crossing over the Hudson River into Brooklyn, where you can see all of these wonderful attractions, without the hustle and bustle. Enjoy kayaking down the Hudson while helping out the ecosystem by picking up any trash, and volunteer to plant trees and other plants to the beautifully transforming parks in the Brooklyn neighborhoods. The activities that Brooklyn Bridge Park has to offer is great for any one, wither you have kids or its just you and your husband. Enjoy many vegan restaurants with locally grown vegetables from urban roof top gardens. You can even go to the theatre without stepping foot out of Brooklyn. Enjoy the Brooklyn waterfront especially during the spring and summer months to experience Brooklyn’s full potential.

36 Hours on the Brooklyn Waterfront

4 Replies

With beautiful clear skies, joggers will be seen jogging along the Brooklyn Bridge park, With their pets or by themselves, it’s a great place to relax and enjoy the scenery. The Brooklyn Waterfront is known to attract quite a handful amount of people during the weekends or just on a regular day with food fairs, music, and ferry rides, it is the place to be when you are visiting Brooklyn for the first time. City life can’t get any busier when your’re there.

Friday

1. A Cup of Joe | 1 p.m.

From the looks on the outside it looks like an old vintage building but take a step in and think again. The Brooklyn Roasting Company is a place where all the people connect and have a cup of coffee to go along with it. You might think what is so special about this particular coffee shop compared to a chain like Starbucks. Well, the Brooklyn Roasting Company does fair trade, which means the farmers that grew and picked the coffee beans gets a fair share of the money unlike other brands of coffee that people consume. If your wish to purchase a can of 12 oz. of high quality coffee beans, it goes for $13 or if you just want a cup of coffee, it goes for at least $4. Ranging from Costa Rica Naranjo to Sumatra Espresso coffee beans, it would take weeks to finish each type of coffee they offer.

2. 1.3 Miles of Green | 3 p.m.

Right under the Brooklyn Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge park was only recently built not so long ago. This is a place where you will find photographers snapping away on their cameras and a hub for all the joggers around to finish their daily routines. Although it gets a little cold here, it’s worth it so even if you go there alone, there are many things to keep you busy like taking pictures or enjoying the food on the park’s pier. Your will be right next to the water looking at the Manhattan skyline and I do recommend you to go there during the night time because the lights are just amazing.

3. The Arts | 5 p.m.

The Dumbo Galleries is on the second floor located at 111 Front Street, this is where the residents of Dumbo or anyone with loads of cash buy some fine art for their apartments. I suggest you only go there and take a long because the art there can cost a few thousand dollars depending on the artist. The Dumbo Galleries is a great place for for artists to showcase their magnificent talents and not to mention that just peaking in there is free of admission.

4. Brooklyn Bridge | 6 p.m.

The first bridge that held the title for being the longest suspension bridge in 1883 when it opened still stands strong providing millions of daily New Yorkers a way to travel between the residential borough of Brooklyn yo the busy business side of Manhattan. Millions of tourist come to the Brooklyn Waterfront annually to embrace the iconic structure of New York because it’s part of New York’s history. It took almost a decade and a half with the help of at least 600 workers to complete it. It was also designated as a historic landmark in the 1960’s. The method of traveling include walking, biking, driving, and even what most New Yorkers use, the MTA.

Saturday

5. Food Truck Galore | 1 p.m.

Within the Brooklyn Waterfront proximity there are many food trucks that will grab your attention but the one I chose was the Kimchi Taco food truck. They serve Korean BBQ, which is their specialty. The grilled Korean BBQ short rib which is served in a burrito and stuffed with their signature marinade along with red cabbage apple pear kimchi slaw which goes for $9. If you’re short on change, no need to worry because for $3 you can get a 4″ tortilla filled with spicy grilled chicken that will make your taste buds explode.

6. Provide a Helping Hand | 2 p.m.

Who wants to pick up garbage during their trip on the Brooklyn Waterfront? Although you don’t automatically get picked for signing up to volunteer at the Brooklyn Bridge park, you can still pitch in and help keep the park clean by throwing garbage in where they belong. During your stay on the Brooklyn Bridge park you might encounter a group of volunteers that tends the green fields or planting saplings so don’t be afraid to ask them questions about the park, you might leave with a handful of interesting facts.

7. High-End | 7 p.m.

Nothing is better than eating something delicious after some volunteer work on the Brooklyn Bridge park. The One Front Street is a fancy little restaurant that provides you high-end quality dishes that will make you want more. They cater foods like the shrimp cocktail for $9.95 and if you want to get a taste of New York, get the New York Strip Steak with mashed potatoes and asparagus for $17.95. After the main course, finish it with a slice of cheesecake for dessert.

8. Sleep Tight | 9 p.m.

A long day deserves a long and comfortable sleep and the best place for that is the Aloft Hotel. Unlike other hotels, the Aloft hotel provide a hip feel to it with their signature plush bedding. If you don’t want to sleep right away, there is a bar on the rooftop so you can have fun and drink away with others. Start a conversation and make new friends and tell them about your accomplishments on the Brooklyn Waterfront so far. But don’t drink too much because on Sunday there is still more to do.

Sunday

9. Ever Heard of Smorgasburg? 11 a.m.

Forget about the food truck, Smorgasburg is the place to be. Every Sunday, people from all over New York come to the Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier to experience a massive mix of cultures with food everywhere you look. From freshly made cookies, to Asian style dumplings. to many homemade recipes that are trying to get their name out. Hundreds of unique one-of-a-kind foods, you wish to never leave this place. Hundreds of food vendors and thousands of visitors equals Smorgasburg so do try as much as you possibly can.

10. St. Ann’s Warehouse | 2 p.m.

The St. Ann’s Warehouse is not a warehouse but a theater that’s literally right next to the Brooklyn Roasting Company. It’s like Brooklyn’s own Broadway and it’s $20 person and normally there’s lots of people. They do their own kind of performances unlike the typical Broadway musical plays. There is a 2 p.m. performance, Tristan & Yseult so you’re just in time.

11. Natural Ice Cream | 5 p.m.

An Ice cream ship called the Broklyn Ice Cream Factory is located on Water Street and Old Fulton that was opened in the early 2000’s. Unlike store bought ice cream, their ice cream are produced freshly and homemade. Flavors include strawberry, butter pecan, chocolate, peaches and cream, and vanilla. Old fashion light-creamy texture that will just melt in your mouth because it’s made with less butter and not eggs needed. It’s quite a tourist trap because there’s nothing like it.

12. The Ale House | 6 p.m.

The Waterfront Ale House might just be the perfect place to finish your exploring on the Brooklyn Waterfront becasue their menu is descrubed as one of the best by New York Magazine. Their menu consist of spicy chicken wings drizzled with the chef’s famous hot sauce, ale battered shrimp, and even the Texas Style, which is pork and beef simmered with tomatoes, spices and beer for $10.95.

36 Hours On The Brooklyn Water Front

2 Replies

The Brooklyn Waterfront is a hip place to gather and have a great time with others, friends, and loved ones. There are many things to do along the vast waterfront. Within the next 36 hours two 21+ friends are going to discover what the waterfront has to offer them. There will be plenty of food, drinks, view, and crazy cool things to do. There is no time for sleep, only time for discovering! What makes the waterfront great is that the transit is in walking distance. Better yet the places are in walking distance of each other! Nothing is more than a 20-minute walk away. Great way to cut back on spending and pollution.

Friday

5:30 p.m. – The Wythe Hotel

Wythe Hotel was an old abandoned factory located on the Williamsburg waterfront. The building was primarily constructed in 1901 and has been refurbished into a 70-room hotel. The Bunk Bed suit is the recommend accommodation. It is the cheapest one ($325), but it is still nice. With staying at the Wythe, guests have access to a screening room, free access to a nearby gym, live entertainment (surcharge), a trendy rooftop bar and a French-inspired restaurant (about $60 between two people). So before venturing out to other spots along the waterfront, check in and check it out.

8:30 p.m. – Pies ‘n Thighs (18 min walk)

Since their debut on Guy Fieri’s Diners Drive-Inns and Dives, they have been busy keeping up with the added customers. The wait time might be a bit longer but once there is a free table, sit down and feel free to order one of their well liked doughnuts, a drink, chicken and waffles, or pie (about $25 per person)! Pies ‘n Thighs specializes in classic all American comfort food, using fresh ingredients.

10:00 p.m. – The Woods (5 min walk)

The Woods is a bar with great affordable drinks it opens at 4pm and happy hour lasts until 8, Monday- Friday. Wells are $3, Yeungling $3, and $1 off any drink! The more fun drinks (margarita) are fairly priced. If at any time there is a late night snack craving, The Woods carries Landaus” bar snacks. Here, one can listen to great music by great DJs, while hanging out with friends and having a drink. It is a great place to hold a fun nigh out with a group of friends.

1:15 a.m. – Output (16 min walk)

The club is open to anyone BUT it is not for everyone. Its purpose is mainly to let people enjoy music and have a chance to dance. Black light and Rooftop parties are hands down. 360-degree view, listening to great dancing music while busting a move in a crowd of people who are enjoying their time. Their dress code is “Brooklyn is the new black.” General admission is about $20 their tickets can be bought online. There is not any table service nor are there reservations available. Go for the night. Enjoy the night. It is also a one-minute walk from The Wythe hotel.

Saturday

10:00 a.m. – Devocion (11 mins)

The Waterfront is a great place to grab a strong cup of coffee. There are many coffee houses to choose from: Brooklyn roasting, to Sweet Leaf Coffee and Espresso Bar. Devocion however, is a great coffee warehouse refurbished for a hip new crowd of coffee fanatics. Stay a while; enjoy the space and its thick aromatics laced with the smell of coffee.

11:00 a.m. Egg Restaurant (5min)

Appropriately named after the item they specialize in. Egg is small and is mostly known for their great breakfast and brunch menu. The restaurant however, exclusively serves breakfast lunch daily. There is a limited menu during the weekend. Since it is very popular, the wait during the weekends is long (hour). The lucky ones only wait 15 minutes. When a table is finally available, the food on the menu will make up for it. The chorizo egg sandwich would go for about $13.

12:00 p.m.-East River State Park

From all the eating, partying and drinking that has taken place over the past 12 hours it would be best to do something healthy for a small while. Great thing the East River State Park is an 8 min head start to a healthy activity. There are plentiful activities there. The green lawn is great for afternoon joggers, picnickers, yogis, and kids running about. Speaking of kids there is a playground for them with sprinklers! It is to the left of the entrance at the bottom of a slope that will lead to a great over view of the Brooklyn Promenade.

During this time Smorgasburg should be up and running. It takes place during the weekend. Saturdays it is held at the East River State Park from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Sundays, it is held during the same time but at a different part of the Brooklyn Waterfront, Brooklyn Bridge Park. Smorgasburg is a part of the Brooklyn Flea Market. There is a plethora of food vendors coming together and selling their top items to the people of the Brooklyn waterfront. Unfortunately, it can be a bit pricy. Ramen Burger charges $9 for their original burger, a 16 oz. soda cost $4, and one doughnut from Dough costs $2.75. The experience of being overwhelmed by joy and delight because of all the good food is worth it!

5:00 -Wythe Hotel (5 mins)

There is just enough time to regroup at the hotel and enjoy their amenities. Check Facebook, twitter, add the recently taken pictures onto Instagram, and iMessage people without using data since Wythe has complementary wifi. Take a quick nap, enjoy the roof top bar, or shower off all the sweat from being healthy at the park.

8:00 p.m. – Glasslands (14 mins)

Unique light fixtures, other art pieces, and musical entertainment by live bands are what will be found at Glasslands. The balcony shows the great and popular view of the Brooklyn Waterfront. Take pictures in the photo booth with friends to commemorate the time spent there. For ladies, there is not much of a place to sit. The high heels might not be the best of ideas. Just remember the Output’s dress code: “Brooklyn is the new black.”

Sunday

11:00a.m. – Aurora (11 mins)

Brunch, the meal of champions! Aurora does a great brunch Sunday mornings. It is from 11 a.m.-4 p.m., lunch is served from 12 p.m. – 3:30 p.m., and dinner 5:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. Aurora serves really good Italian food using the freshest of ingredients. For two people brunch could span from 50-60 USD.

36 Hours on the Brooklyn Water front

1 Reply

When you think of New York City, you think of the crazy hustle and bustle. Sure, it is a nice getaway, but if you’re looking for something slightly more mellow, head down to Brooklyn, NY. The Brooklyn Water front offers a variety of locations with tons of things you can do there that will catch your eye… and satisfy your taste buds.

Friday

The start of your journey | 11 a.m

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. First stop at the XO Creperie that’s located on Emmons avenue. This is the place to go to indulge yourself with the finest crepes. If it’s sweet that your craving, go for the Nutella crepes with strawberries ($16). If it’s something savory, go ahead and order the Eggs Benedict with Lox in Creamy Cheese Sauce ($11). Whatever the choice of food, you get to enjoy the nice summer breeze on the balcony overlooking the canal with swans that swim gracefully.

2. Coney Island | 12:30 p.m

Coney Island offers an ideal summer getaway from the nuttiness left back at home. Visit Coney Island that stretches nearly 3 miles of sandy beaches, clear blue skies, sound of clashing waves, and sea salt aroma in the air. There you can feel the warm sand in between your toes, sit near the ocean, and have an oasis of serenity. Take a nice long stroll on the beach or the boardwalk with your friends and family… The best part of it is it’s free!

3. Nathan’s Famous| 3:00 p.m

Coming to Coney Island and not trying Nathan’s is like going to Arizona and forgetting to stop at the Grand Canyon. It is just a fast food joint you might say, yes, but it is the original Nathan’s that Brooklyn carries. Go on and try the world’s famous beef chili cheese dog ($4.79) and wash it down with a refreshing old fashioned lemonade ($2.59). Happen to be near by Nathan’s on July 4th? Perfect! There you will enjoy watching their annual hot dog eating contest. That will be a memory you certainly will not forget.

4. Fun Times|5:30 p.m

Coney Island not only carries the original Nathan’s. It also holds a landmark that everyone knows about when they think of Coney Island. Start your fun adventure with Coney Island’s famous roller coaster, The Cyclone. This coaster in fact sounds like it is loose and falling apart, but people gravitate to that and find their thrill even more heightened. Crazy right? After riding the Cyclone, head inside Luna park (free entry) and extract the kid that is hiding inside you. Enjoy the rides until your stomach can bear no more. If you had enough of all the spinning and twirling, walk down to the beach where they show free movies from a giant 40 foot inflatable screen. Lay down the beach towel and get that popcorn ready!

Saturday

5. Gone Fishin’| 7:00 a.m

Come aboard the Marilyn Jean IV charter for a memorable fishing excursion. Located just off pier 6 on Emmons avenue. The charter departs from the pier and takes you along a peaceful, but yet exciting trip past Brooklyn’s famous Coney Island, Verrazano Narrows Bridge, Manhattan NY Skyline, and the Statue of Liberty while enjoying the essence of fishing. The fish that are caught, may be taken home; The crew can fillet the fish upon request. The trip is a total of 5 hours ($25) and guarantees a lifetime experience, so reservations are strongly recommended. Food is served and equipment is included on the trip.

6. Food On Foot Tours| 2:20 p.m

What is so great about NYC is that the city offers you a wide range of things to do. If you have a strong passion for food, Food On Foot Tours is what you can’t miss out on. This food tour covers Brooklyn’s waterfront neighborhoods. Groups meet at the Pennsylvania station to start their food journey. The tour will take you to 4 different locations, so make sure you have a metro card handy. All destinations are a surprise and you’ll never know what you’ll have on your plate until you arrive to your location. Food on Foot Tours are usually 3 to 5 hours long, so wear something comfortable.

Sunday

7. Lettuce Turnip the Beet | 9:00 a.m

Floyd Bennett Field offers a variety of activities, but there is one that has been proven to help you live longer. Intrigued yet? Welcome to Floyd Bennett Gardens Association. For just 50 dollars a year and 8 hours of community service, you are free to plot until you drop! Growing your own produce will save you a heck of a lot of money, so what do you have to lose?

8. Foodie’s Paradise |3:00 pm

Got hungry after all that gardening? Head down to Smorgasburg, every food enthusiast’s heaven. You will find a wide range of food and beverages there, so make sure you come with an empty stomach and a full wallet of cash. You will experience different cuisines the vendors have to offer you. Try the Ramen Burger ($10), you wont regret it! Smorgasburg might seem a bit overwhelming, but in the long run, the experience you will get from it is grand. Not to mention, you will be eating your food with a great view of the NYC skyline.

9. Sleep Tight| Lodging

Nothing is better than coming home from a long day and just flopping right down to your king sized bed. Although Comfort inn isn’t the most luxuries of the hotels, I didn’t want this adventure to be only about where you are staying. Comfort inn is located in the Sheepshead Bay area on Emmons Avenue, and is a walking distance from XO Creperies. Comfort inn is right on the beach, so you will have a nice view of the ocean. It offers a complimentary hot breakfast and a guaranteed comfortable stay. The nightly rate is $169.99 and offers amenities.
