â36 hours on the Brooklyn water frontâ
Brooklyn is the most populated borough of New York Cities five boroughs that are Queens, Manhattan, and Staten Island. Brooklyn has experienced a renaissance as a destination for hipster, with concomitant gentrification, dramatic house price increase, and a decrease in housing affordability. Since 2010, Brooklyn has evolved into a thriving hub of entrepreneurship and high technology startup firms, and of postmodern art and design. Are based location of attraction is Williamsburg with many fabulous dining restaurant, extraordinary bars, some beautiful bakeries, and museums to gather some knowledge.

3.DeStefano’s Steakhouse 5pm
Youâre actually entering someoneâs former home when you eat here. You feel like the homeowners have cleared out their living room and set up nice dining tables for you to eat their home cooked meal. Itâs very charming, and all the walls are covered in family photos going back to the 50âs (perhaps even earlier) and coming up to present day.
There is a small three-seat bar beside the host station when you walk into the restaurant. This is certainly not the kind of place you go for a happy hour or to just hang out at the bar. They do, however, make a good martini. When I tried the stake was the greatest thing I ever tasted in ages. With the juices from the medium rare steak with a touch of onions and a it had enough salt and pepper. The meat its self was aged 28 days and primed. Price range is expensive but its worth it.

4.Barcade from 7pm
Barcade is a combination bar and arcade with a focus on classic video games and American craft beer. The original Barcade was opened in 2004 in a former metal shop on Union Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Here, finding and chatting up prime specimens is as easy as shooting fish in a barrelâor, more accurately, as easy as shooting aliens in Galaxian, one of more than thirty vintage arcade games that give Barcade its name. The airy, loft-like space never feels crowded, and thereâs plenty of room to sit and watch Union Avenueâs finest compete for high scores of all varieties. Most importantly, the rotating list of more than 20 microbrews includes many local beers on tap. Price rage is moderate. Easy to get there 2 blocks away from the G line.
5.Berry Park 10pm
Spacious rooftop in Brooklyn. The main ground level looks like an upscale college sports bar. I would’ve probably never known this place had a pretty cool rooftop upstairs had I not looked it up on yelp beforehand. The main level is quite spacious with plenty of room to sit and stand around. The rooftop is a bit smaller but offers great views of Manhattan. This is not a skyscraper by any means. The place was not as pretentious as some other rooftops in the city. Prices were surprisingly average ($7-$12) beer/cocktails.

Saturday
- Fortunato Brothers 11am
I didn’t have much of a wait, so we stood completely mesmerized by the enormous selection of treats. I needed to feed my whole family dessert, so I bought a dozen Neapolitan cookies, a slice of tiramisu, a cream puff, and a lovely large cannoli. Prices are moderate I bought sweets from a range of 6 to 20 dollars very delicious and I will definitely come back with my family to enjoy more sweets and gelato. Is located on 289 Manhattan Ave Brooklyn, NY 11211 between Devoe St & Ainslie St Williamsburg – North Side.

- The River Café 2pm
The view was exceptional. You have a broad view on the statue of liberty, the liberty tower and Brooklyn Bridge. They offer a 3-course menu for $125. The quality of the food, the presentation and the taste of the food were all terrific. Our dinner selections was: Appetizer 1: Wild Shrimp, Entree 1: Lamb, Dessert 1: Chocolate Brooklyn Bridge. Reminder reserve with a 3-week notice establishment is always at its max because of its view and delightful plates.

9.Hotel Delmano 5pm
They offer a wide array of premium specialty spirits, boast a seasonal cocktail menu of original recipes by our staff, and a 100-bottle wine list focusing on small artisanal producers. They also have an exceptional raw bar specializing in a seasonal oyster selection from both coasts as well as shrimp, clams, caviar, crab, and other additions when available. We also offer a selection of cured meats, artisanal cheeses, and other small plates like ceviche and steak tartare that pair well with our cocktails and wine. The food selection is to die for, but great in flavor and with the combination of wine that they give with the plate selection is great.

11.BrooklynCupcake 10am
Up until last month, I didn’t even know that Brooklyn Cupcake existed. The flavors are creative & outstanding inspired Latino counterparts. Bought – dozen cupcakes (6 Guava and 6 Tres Leches) and they were amazing. $15/6 cupcakes. The Tres Leches cupcake was moist and had a generous dollop of fresh whipped cream. The guava cupcake had a surprise guava filing at the bottom.the price is moderated and travel time in train is close.

13.Colonie 4pm
The service was wonderful. Professional, efficient, and friendly. We hardly had to wait for anything. We ordered the salted caramel custard doughnuts to go and enjoyed them at Brooklyn Bridge Park. Our bill was around $60, but we did order a lot. I think they have a really reasonably priced menu with something for everyone.
