“36 hours on the Brooklyn Water Front” sebastian Chiriboga

“36 hours on the Brooklyn water front”

 

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.

 

Friday

1.The Blue Stove 11am

With the ripening of apples, pumpkins and the like, fall is pie-eating season, and should you find yourself in Brooklyn, a pleasant place to eat pie is the Blue Stove bakery, at 415 Graham Avenue, in the expansionary eastern regions of Williamsburg. Blue Stove’s pies are sold by the slice and as individual mini-pies, the latter of which cost $6.50 In either case, the nice woman behind the counter will offer to heat it up and serve it to you with a side of cream. It is great believed or not does pies are worth everything.

3.DeStefano’s Steakhouse 5pm

You’re actually entering someone’s 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. It’s very charming, and all the walls are covered in family photos going back to the 50’s (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 barrel—or, 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 there’s plenty of room to sit and watch Union Avenue’s 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

  1. 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.

Today, the 300-acre Brooklyn Navy Yard is an industrial park operated by the nonprofit Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation, with over 40 buildings leased by more than 330 companies in a wide range of industries, from movie and television production to green manufacturing. One building houses BLDG 92, a LEED-Platinum Visitor Center that includes exhibitions about the past, present, and future of innovation at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and a café that overlooks the site. From World War II history to sustainable architecture and industry, there are various tours of the yard available, including theme-based bus and bike tours start and end at BLDG 92. A portion of all ticket precedes go to support the Visitor, Exhibition, and Employment Center at BLDG 92. For tickets, visit the Turnstile/Tours you’re welcome to check the prices and decide what’s the best tour for you or do them all the same day. I recommend doing them all since you’re getting familiarized with the location and it’s easy to get around in a cab or train.

  1. 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.

Sunday

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.

Lodging:

Hotel Le Bleu (370 Fourth Avenue; 718-625-1500; hotellebleu.com), near Park Slope, is down the street from a Pep Boys auto-supply shop. But the views of the harbor are sublime, and there are two subway stations within blocks. A deluxe room with king bed and continental breakfast is $229.
